How to Style with Mirrors in Your Home

19-06-2024

Mirrors have become more than just a practical item, they’re a versatile décor element than can transform any space. 

 

Looking to bring a new look and a breath of fresh air into your home? Reflect on the functional, decorative, and transformative use of styling with mirrors. 

 

Our talented design team have created some tips for using mirrors in your home 

 

  • Strategically placing large mirrors near a window captures the reflection of the view. If windows aren’t available, illuminating a mirror with a nearby light fixture achieves a similar effect.
     
  • Bigger is better” – when selecting mirrors opting for a large piece maximises light reflection and amplifies the ambience. 

  • Consider the position of the mirror to make the space appear larger, creating the illusion of space and extending the line of sight in a room. However, prevent unsightly clutter from being reflected. 

  • Mirrors work well as focal points, whether positioned above a fireplace or sitting on a console or buffet.  

  • Choose mirror styles that complement your interior aesthetic, from an ornate frame for a classic style, simple timber frame for coastal and contemporary styles and coloured frames in oval or round shapes for a more eclectic look. 

  • Pay attention to hanging height, aiming to position the mirror at average eye level to optimise functionality and visual appeal. Leaning mirrors against walls offers both practicality and an illusion of spaciousness, ideal for dressing rooms and walk-in robes. 

  • In smaller spaces, full height mirrored panels along the wall can ingeniously create the illusion of space. 

  • Bathroom mirrors, previously purely practical, have evolved into decorative accents in an array of shapes and styles, adding flair to functional spaces. 

  • Elevate your kitchen by adding a mirrored splashback, reflecting garden scenery to infuse the space with depth and visual interest.
