Mirrors are both functional and beautiful, adding dimension and light to your home. They’re excellent as statement pieces, or for making small rooms appear larger. Additionally, interior designers rely on mirrors to create focal points and to tie a room together. Use the guide below for helpful tips on decorating with mirrors.

How to Decorate Your Home With Mirrors

1. Add Space

Mirrors use reflections to create the illusion of space, automatically making small rooms appear larger. When purchasing a mirror to add volume to small bedrooms, narrow hallways or otherwise cramped quarters, think big. The larger the mirror you choose, the bigger your space will appear. Consider using a variety of sizes, including vertical full-length mirrors, which will also create the appearance of height in rooms with low ceilings.

2. Create a Focal Point

Much like a work of art, a mirror can serve as an eye-catching focal point, drawing attention to a specific area in your room. Consider hanging uniquely shaped, framed, or decorative mirrors above the mantelpiece or over your bed. You can also place them above a piece of furniture, such as a couch or buffet. Pair mirrors with wall sconces to create a high-end look that's sure to draw attention. 

3. Use Multiples

Don't limit yourself to only one mirror. Collect a variety to create a beautiful gallery that will add light and space, color, whimsy, and a touch of personality to your room.  Mix and match your mirrors, placing contemporary styles next to antique designs, square frames alongside round ones, and wood frames around beveled edges. Choose colors inspired by design elements in your room, and use them to help complete your overall look.
