How to Decorate with Mirrors

Mirrors are versatile decorating pieces that can enhance a space in a variety of ways. They look great in all kinds of rooms, from bedrooms and bathrooms to living rooms and even kitchens. With different shapes and styles, there’s a mirror for every aesthetic and budget. Read on for our best tips for decorating with mirrors.

Create a Focal Point

A large or ornate mirror can be an eye-catching piece of art. Choose a mirror that matches the overall aesthetic of your room, and try positioning it in a prominent place, such as over a fireplace or on a central wall.

Strategic Placement

Mirrors are already great for making a space feel bigger and brighter, but you can maximize this effect by placing mirrors across the room from windows. When the light shines through the window, it will reflect off the mirror and around the room. You can also use mirrors to reflect stunning views or pieces of artwork in your home.

Use Mirrored Furniture

Mirrors aren’t just for walls. Mirrored coffee tables, side tables, or trays can have the same effect as a mounted mirror, and add light and dimension throughout the room.
