Decorating with Mirrors in Every Room
Living Room Mirrors
When it comes to decorating with living room mirrors, consider how they'll pair with your furniture and existing home decor. For instance, a statement mirror above the sofa is a great alternative to a large gallery wall above the couch. To start, choose a large, decorative mirror that is at least 10 inches above your furniture. This decorative mirror acts as a focal point but also reflects light to make the living room feel more spacious. If you like a more eccentric style, consider a wall of mirror panels to create a dramatic effect. This works especially well in smaller living rooms to visually expand the space. Alternatively, arrange a group of small wall mirrors in different shapes and sizes which adds a bold statement in the living room.
Wall or Floor Bedroom Mirrors
To style the bedroom, consider placing a full-length mirror on a stand or mount it horizontally above the bed. These bedroom mirrors are perfect for getting dressed and also making the room appear larger. Next, consider hanging a round wall mirror above the dresser to serve as both a functional piece and a stylish addition to your bedroom decor. Lastly, consider bedroom mirror nightstands that add a contemporary feel beside your bed frame.
Contemporary Bathroom Mirrors
When it comes to decorating, first consider a vanity mirror situated near your favorite place to get ready. Opt for frameless or subtly framed bathroom mirrors for a clean, modern look or ones with a backlight for a vintage feel. Above the sink, mirrored medicine cabinets are a smart pick when you need extra storage and another place to retouch your makeup. Then, finish the powder room by hanging small round mirrors or bathroom mirrors with shelves to add interest and depth to the walls.
