Mirror Mirror On the Wall: How to Expand Your Space With Mirrors

November 27, 2024 by Shelley Thompson

Mirrors can add instant glamor and interest while also increasing natural light and maximizing the perception of space in your home. However, while these decorations might be straightforward and natural for some rooms, they might be more challenging in other spaces, such as the kitchen or even bedrooms. That’s why we’ve gathered the five best ways to decorate with mirrors.

Mirrors aren’t just for the indoors

When you’ve put so much time and effort into creating a beautiful garden, why not reflect and enjoy it from more angles? Garden mirrors can be placed in numerous places to create a powerful effect.

Place mirrors against the garden’s perimeter amongst blooming shrubbery to create the idea of a secret gateway. Alternatively, you can place a set of three smaller mirrors along a wall to make a garden seating area feel bigger.

Take things up a notch in your hallway

Hallways tend to be narrow and dark, with limited natural light beyond glass panes in the front door. Mirrors are your best friend here, especially if they can recruit and reflect light from adjacent rooms. The illuminating result will amaze you.

If your hallway is a bit box-like, aim for a round frame to soften some of the strict lines. Aside from brightening your halls, mirrors can be aesthetic, transforming your hallway from an uninspiring spot to an interesting one.

Double the effects of natural light

Mirrors ‘bounce’ light around rooms, making everything feel more open and spacious. Placing mirrors in opposite rooms or corners that need brightening up is an effective solution to expanding the light of a room in a natural, non-intrusive way and enhancing light effects.

Hang your mirror opposite a source of natural light. When choosing height and placement, consider what your mirror reflects- you could hang it higher than expected so that it catches the glow of a nearby lamp or a burst of sunlight. 

Use mirrors to enhance a strategic room expansion

Aside from reflecting light, mirrors can create the illusion of space. While large mirrors or mirrored wall installations are more effective in creating the illusion of space, properly positioned smaller mirrors can also do the job.

You can place mirrors opposite your windows to reflect the view beyond and also create a sense of outdoor extension. On the other hand, using opposite doorways will blur the boundaries of a room and extend the line of vision to the space beyond. 

Create texture in your space with mirrors

Mirrors can be used to create texture in several ways. Patinated mirrors have an aged and weathered surface texture; they are a great solution if you don’t fancy having lots of highly-polished mirrors around your room.

You could install a textured mirror frame – a bobbin or bamboo, unfinished wood, or even something upholstered. You could equally position a mirror so it reflects a textured object already in the room – a rustic coffee table, a wall-hung tapestry, or a vase full of flowers.
