There are some rooms that will almost always have mirrors, like your bathroom. However, adding custom mirrors to the rooms in your home can boost light, make smaller rooms look bigger, help express your personality in your space, and more. Here are some tips to make sure you’re decorating with mirrors in the best way possible.

How to Utilize Mirrors for Decoration

1. Rectangle Mirrors

A tried-and-true shape, rectangle mirrors are classic and versatile. Try putting a large, ornately framed mirror in your living room as a focal point and add a built-in seat or shelving for added decoration. You can also liven up your bathroom with a rectangular mirror equipped with a rustic wood frame. This not only creates a lovely aesthetic, but you can also increase your shelving space.

If your style is more modern, try a matte black framed mirror. A soft-matte shade provides a wonderful accent to the grout in subway tiles and can really bring your bathroom together.

2. Round Mirrors

While most mirrors are square or rectangular, round mirrors can really make a statement. Place a large circular mirror in an otherwise sharply angled room, like the living room, which is usually dominated by tables and fireplaces with distinct corners. This will soften the decor and provide a place for the eye to rest. A round mirror can also make a singular statement as a bedroom accessory.

You can also create a mural of many circular mirrors in varying sizes. Be sure the rest of the room isn’t too cluttered, so your collection is the centerpiece. Choose frames on your custom mirrors that best reflect your style and let your mirror wall shine.

3. Backsplash Mirrors

Backsplashes made from mirrors are rising in popularity, so add one to your kitchen. Consider a solid rectangle backsplash or a mosaic of round mirrors, or both, and place either above your stove, sink, or coffee bar. Kitchens usually have at least one large window, so utilizing mirrors in this space means the reflected light will make your room look more spacious than it is.
