On Reflection: Stylish Mirrors for Every Room in Your Home

On Reflection: Stylish Mirrors for Every Room in Your Home

Mirrors are a classic and practical way to add interest to anywhere in your home. A mirror can elevate a plain wall, create a focal point above a console and of course are perfect for a quick outfit check before heading out of the door. Plus, they reflect natural light beautifully creating the illusion of more space in your home.  

Styles of Mirrors 

Mirrors come in all sorts of shapes and sizes designed for different purposes. For instance, a large round mirror could be hung over a fireplace or chest of drawers. A full-length mirror is designed for hanging or leaning against a wall, allowing you to see yourself fully. Smaller mirrors can be grouped together on a wall, simply for a creative gallery wall style look. 

Our selection of mirrors features luxe gold and chic black frames plus our new range of wooden styles crafted from natural paulownia wood, which is robust yet still lightweight enough to hang safely. From hexagonal, capsule and arch styles to classic rectangular and round mirrors, discover a mirror for every part of your home.

Hallway, Staircase & Landing

The hallway and staircase are an ideal place to add mirrors, especially if it’s a small space. The hallway can sometimes be dark so if there’s a window then hanging a mirror opposite can help reflect the light around, making the space seem bigger. Style your hallway mirror over a console table or create a feature by adding a radiator cover to your radiator and hanging a beautifully framed mirror above it. Ensure the mirror isn’t too big for the space, or that it is not protruding into the hallway. Hallways can be narrow and the last thing you want to do is knock the mirror off the wall every time you come in and take off your coat.

Living Room 

One of the largest rooms in the house is the living room with features including shelving, alcoves or a fireplace, offering lots of styling opportunities with mirrors. Hanging a large mirror over the mantlepiece creates a timeless focal point within the room and will reflect natural light from all angles. If you have the space and you don’t want to necessarily fill the space with furniture then you can use a full-length mirror in an alcove or corner as a stylish living room mirror. Why not create a gallery wall and combining artwork with mirrors in different sizes for an eclectic look.

Style your home with a range of mirrors to creating an interesting look.

Bedrooms & Dressing Rooms  

When considering mirrors for a bedroom, there are a few options depending on space and layout. Mirrors are functional and reflect light to create bright and airy feel in a bedroom It may be practical to have a full-length mirror in the bedroom, near your wardrobe where you get ready every morning. If you have a dressing room or walk in wardrobe, then a full-length mirror can also work well depending on lighting. Our large Ingham arch mirror would work beautifully against a bedroom wall, choose to hang it or lean against the wall. Alternatively, a free-standing mirror like the Hensall could be an option if you want to have the mirror in a corner.
