Mirrors do more than reflect — they amplify light, create depth, and serve as statement pieces. Here's how to choose.
Mirrors are one of the most versatile decor pieces. Here's how to use them effectively.
Maximize Light
Place a mirror opposite or adjacent to a window to bounce natural light around the room. This works especially well in dark corners.
Create Depth
A large mirror on a narrow wall makes the space feel wider. In a small room, a floor-length mirror creates the illusion of more space.
Statement Pieces
A sunburst mirror above a console table, an oversized round mirror above a sofa, or an antique-style mirror in an entryway all serve as focal points.
Height Matters
Hang mirrors at eye level — about 57-60 inches from the floor to the center. In dining rooms, hang slightly lower to reflect the table setting.
Group Small Mirrors
Instead of one large mirror, group three or four small mirrors in different shapes for a gallery-wall effect that adds light and interest.
The right mirror transforms a space from ordinary to extraordinary.
