Mirrors are fashionable and practical additions to your home. They can brighten up a space by reflecting natural light or add a surprising design element. Here are a few ways to incorporate them into your home. 

What Are Some Creative Ways to Use Mirrors In Your Home?

1. Create a Wall

For a unique and playful twist on the traditional gallery wall—of pictures and paintings—create one out of mirrors. Not only will it save you the painstaking work of choosing paintings or photos, but it will also allow you to brighten the space.

It will create an especially pleasing contrast if the rest of the wall is painted a dark color. Don't worry about symmetry or uniformity. Choose ones of the same style or mismatching shapes. 

2. Position Vertical Ones Horizontally

For rooms that feel cramped, turning a vertical mirror horizontally can make the space feel broader and create an eye-catching design feature. Choose the narrowest wall in the room, and hang it there so it’s about level with your head. This trick is most effective when the glass isn’t in line with furniture but instead carves out its own space.

3. Add a Mirrored Wall to Your Bathroom

A mirrored wall in your bathroom will create a lighter space that’s waterproof and has a more open feel. You won’t have to worry about water staining your wallpaper or paint and it’s easy to clean. If your bathroom floor is tiled, the glass will reflect the pattern back, creating a beautiful effect. 

4. Experiment With Frames

When it comes to frames, there are endless options to express your individual style and interests. Seek out vintage frames to complement a minimalist, laid-back room.

While mounting ceramic plates on walls has been trending, create your own twist by opting for mirrors with ceramic frames. A slim frame might complement a minimalist room or a busy room in need of relief.

5. Add a Three-Sided Mirror to Your Closet

Mirrors are also ideal for checking out those hard to see angles when you’re getting dressed. Add a three-sided one to your closet or bedroom. You’ll be able to see how your outfit and hair look from the back.
