How Raynova Delivered Custom LED Mirrors for a Boston Magazine Award-Winning Builder
See how Modern Heritage partnered with Raynova to design and deliver a fully custom
Nimbus LED mirror for a Best of Boston Home project—from inquiry and drawings to certified production
and final delivery.
In today’s high-end custom home market, a striking design conversation is taking shape—one where rugged natural materials meet refined contemporary lines. We are seeing this especially clearly in the work of luxury builders and designers creating homes that feel both grounded in nature and elevated by modern simplicity.
The traditional Mountain Rustic aesthetic, once dominated by heavy timbers, dark finishes, and visually dense interiors, is evolving. It is no longer just about warmth and weight. It is becoming lighter, cleaner, and more intentional. Its perfect counterpart is Modern Minimalism.
At Raynova, we believe the bathroom is one of the most powerful spaces where this design shift comes to life. Our hanging rod LED mirrors are helping bridge the gap between the raw beauty of the outdoors and the polished sophistication of luxury interiors.
The Alchemy of Textures
The beauty of Mountain Modern design lies in contrast.
Picture a vanity wall clad in reclaimed wood, textured slate, natural stone, or plaster with organic movement. These surfaces bring character, depth, and a sense of place. Now imagine placing a sleek hanging LED mirror in front of that backdrop. The effect is immediate and architectural.
A circular or rectangular hanging mirror introduces clean geometry against rustic texture. The glass feels smooth and weightless. The rods create precision. The illuminated edge adds a quiet sense of technology. Together, these elements offer visual balance to the heavier, more tactile materials in the room.
This is what makes the hanging LED mirror more than a functional piece. It becomes a design instrument—one that organizes space, sharpens the composition, and allows every surrounding material to feel more intentional.
Suspension and the Art of the Floating Vanity
In more traditional rustic interiors, mirrors are often framed in thick wood and mounted directly to the wall. While that approach can feel solid and classic, it can also visually block the beauty behind it.
Modern Minimalism values openness, negative space, and lightness. That is where the hanging rod mirror system creates such a strong statement.
By suspending the mirror from the ceiling or from a custom mounting bracket, the design introduces a floating effect that transforms the entire vanity area.
Why this matters:
1. It preserves the wall surface.Beautiful stonework, wood grain, and handcrafted tile remain visible instead of being fully covered by a standard mirror installation.
2. It adds vertical rhythm.The clean lines of the rods draw the eye upward, echoing the tall forms of surrounding architecture—or even the pine trees and mountain silhouettes outside.
3. It feels lighter and more architectural.The bathroom becomes less like a utility space and more like a curated design moment.
In luxury mountain homes, where every material choice matters, this suspended look creates a quiet drama that feels both custom and contemporary.
Intelligent Light for Rustic Interiors
Mountain homes often feature deep rooflines, dramatic beams, and rich material palettes that can sometimes leave bathrooms feeling darker than intended. Natural light may be beautiful during the day, but it is not always enough for the routines that happen in front of the mirror.
This is where integrated LED lighting becomes essential—not just aesthetically, but practically.
Raynova’s hanging LED mirrors provide a dual-layer lighting experience:
Task Lighting
A crisp front-facing LED glow in the 3000K–5000K range supports grooming, skincare, makeup application, and morning routines with clarity and comfort.
Ambient Lighting
Soft backlighting creates a halo effect that gently washes the wall behind the mirror. On rustic surfaces like wood, stone, or textured plaster, this effect is especially beautiful. It highlights grain, shadow, depth, and natural variation in a way overhead lighting rarely can.
The result is a bathroom that feels warmer, brighter, and more dimensional—without sacrificing the moody sophistication that mountain-inspired interiors are known for.
A Mirror That Matches the New Luxury
Luxury today is not about excess. It is about restraint, craftsmanship, and atmosphere.
That is why the hanging LED mirror fits so naturally into the new generation of custom mountain homes. It offers a rare combination of:
Architectural presence
Minimal visual weight
Integrated performance lighting
Custom proportions and finishes
A refined contrast to rustic materials
Whether the surrounding design leans toward warm timber, matte black metal, aged brass, limestone, or smooth plaster, the hanging mirror adapts beautifully. It feels clean, current, and highly intentional.
Designed for Builders, Designers, and Distinctive Homes
Working alongside visionary builders and designers reminds us that “modern” does not have to feel cold, and “rustic” does not have to feel heavy.
The best interiors today bring the two together. They use natural materials with confidence, then edit them with structure, light, and simplicity. That is exactly where Raynova’s hanging rod LED mirrors belong.
They are not just mirrors for bathrooms. They are part of a broader design language—one that honors nature while embracing innovation.
The Future of Mountain Modern Bathrooms
As luxury home design continues to evolve, we expect the rise of the hanging LED mirror to continue right alongside it. It answers the needs of both aesthetics and function. It complements textured, grounded interiors while introducing clarity, light, and contemporary elegance.
In the dialogue between the rugged and the refined, this is one of the pieces that speaks most clearly.
At Raynova, we are proud to create mirrors that help bring that vision to life.
Tips - Mountain Rustic and "Mountain Modern" architecture are prominent in several key regions across the United States. While the roots of this style are in the West, it has evolved into a luxury standard in mountainous pockets from the Pacific Coast to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Core states are Montana, Colorado, Wyomin, Utah, California, Idaho, Oregon, Washington (The Sierra Nevada & Pacific Northwest), North Carolina,Tennessee (The Appalachian & Blue Ridge Mountains),and New York State (The Northeast).
Aria Reserve Miami rises along Biscayne Bay like a nighttime signature—clean lines, glassy reflections, and a skyline presence that feels both modern and timeless. Inside these luxury Florida condos, every detail matters: the stone, the lighting, the finishes, and the way each space glows after sunset.
For one Aria Reserve residence, the homeowner and designer chose Raynova to deliver a mirror that doubles as functional lighting and architectural art—the SERENUS Irregular Frameless Custom LED Mirror, inspired by an organic silhouette like the reference image you shared (a soft, sculptural shape with a subtle halo glow).

Why Designers Choose Irregular Mirrors in Luxury Florida Condos
In high-end Miami interiors, a mirror isn’t just for reflection—it’s part of the visual rhythm of the room. Irregular mirrors are trending in luxury condos because they:
Feel custom and collected, not mass-produced
Add a soft, organic counterpoint to sharp architecture
Create a “gallery moment” even in minimal spaces
Look stunning with halo backlighting, especially at night
The SERENUS design does exactly that—clean, frameless, and sculptural, with lighting that turns the wall into a feature.
The Design Goal: The Same Soft Halo Look as the Reference Image
The attached style is all about calm glow—a smooth backlit aura that feels warm, modern, and elevated (not harsh or overly bright). That’s why designers love pairing SERENUS with luxury condo finishes like:
light plaster walls
warm woods
matte black hardware
minimal vanities and floating shelving

When a glazing contractor with nearly 40 years of experience chooses a mirror partner, it says a lot.
That’s exactly what happened when DGB Glass, Inc., a major player in the commercial glazing world, selected Raynova LED Mirror as the custom LED mirror provider for one of its flagship projects in Texas.
This collaboration isn’t just another purchase order — it’s a case study in why more industry leaders are treating LED mirrors as architectural elements, not just fixtures.
Who Is DGB Glass?
If you’re in construction, architecture, or commercial interiors, you’ve probably heard the name.
DGB Glass, Inc. has been a trusted glazing contractor for:
Public infrastructure and engineering projects
Educational institutions
Large-scale commercial developments
With a reputation built over decades, they work in environments where small mistakes are very expensive. So when a partner is chosen, it’s because that partner can deliver on quality, precision, and reliability.
For this Texas project, DGB Glass needed bespoke LED mirrors that could match the level of the rest of the build. That’s where Raynova came in.
Why an Industry Leader Looked Beyond “Regular” Mirrors
For a project of this scale, off-the-shelf mirrors weren’t an option.
DGB Glass was looking for a partner who:
Understands custom dimensions and complex detailing
Can coordinate with architects, designers, and builders
Treats mirrors as part of the architecture, not just decor
They weren’t shopping for a commodity. They were searching for a specialized LED mirror manufacturer that could match their standards on every drawing, every cutout, every mounting detail.
Why They Chose Raynova LED Mirror
So why Raynova, out of so many lighting and mirror brands?
1. A Deep Focus on LED Mirrors
Raynova doesn’t try to be everything to everyone.We focus on one thing and do it extremely well: custom LED mirrors and medicine cabinets.
That specialized focus means:
We understand the interaction between glass, light, reflection, and space
We anticipate technical questions from designers, architects, and electricians
We can support both high-end residential and large-scale commercial projects with the same attention to detail
2. Every Mirror as a Bespoke Piece
For high-profile projects, “good enough” doesn’t work.
Each Raynova mirror is treated as a bespoke piece:
Custom sizes and proportions based on the project drawings
Detailed shop drawings prepared for review and approval
Options for front light, backlit, both, and a variety of frame finishes and functions
As John, Raynova’s branding partner from Bwanaz, put it:
Raynova doesn't just sell mirrors; they deliver architectural elements. Designers love our work because we treat every single piece as a unique art installation and work tirelessly to ensure the final product exceeds the vision.
3. Professional, Patient Collaboration
Large projects rarely move in a straight line. Dimensions change, ceiling drops move, electrical plans get updated.
Raynova’s engineering and support teams are used to that reality. We:
Review architectural drawings and elevations
Adjust details to coordinate with glaziers, millworkers, and electricians
Issue revised drawings quickly and clearly
That level of professionalism and patience was a key factor in DGB Glass choosing Raynova as a long-term partner, not just a one-time vendor.
U.S. Presence, Factory-Level Capability
For a glazing contractor handling large, time-sensitive projects, logistics matter as much as design.
Raynova combines factory-direct customization with a U.S.-based presence:
Headquarters in Chino, California
24-hour–ready warehouses in Atlanta, GA and Philadelphia, PA
This structure allows us to:
Support projects across the U.S. with faster, more predictable shipping
Communicate in real time with project teams
Offer better after-sales support for replacements, expansions, or future phases
For partners like DGB Glass, that mix of global manufacturing strength and local responsiveness is essential.
Beyond Delivery: Long-Term Support
For commercial projects, the job doesn’t end when the truck leaves the site.
Raynova’s commitment includes:
After-service support for any issues or adjustments
Help with future orders when projects expand or repeat
Consistent specifications for mirrors across multiple locations or phases
This is why builders and contractors increasingly see Raynova as a long-term specification partner, not just a one-off purchase.
The Value Behind “The Most Expensive Mirror”
Raynova’s Product Chief Engineer, Chris, summarized our philosophy with a question to the industry:
We strive to create the most valuable mirrors in the world through craftsmanship. But do you know where the most expensive mirror in the world is located right now? Hint: look at the URL below—we have the answers there.
The point isn’t price for its own sake. It’s about value:
Mirrors that improve the way a space feels and functions
Fixtures built to last in demanding environments
Custom solutions that help designers and contractors realize a vision instead of compromising with standard options
What This Means for Designers, Architects, and Builders
This Texas partnership with DGB Glass is part of a broader shift:
Designers want custom, integrated lighting and mirror solutions
Contractors need reliable, technically competent manufacturers
Owners and brands expect luxury-level finishes that still make sense economically
Raynova sits at the intersection of all three.
Whether you’re working on a hotel, multifamily development, high-end residence, or commercial space, custom LED mirrors are becoming a core part of the visual and functional experience.
