6 Surprising Ways to Design with Mirrors

We’ve all heard of the design trick of adding a mirror to your space to make it seem bigger and brighter. But did you know there are many other ways a well-placed mirror can maximize your room’s décor?

Mirrors bring light, depth, and movement into rooms. You can move them around and put them wherever you like. They can redirect attention to what you want noticed and emphasize views in other areas around the room. If you are looking for unexpected ways to dress up your room’s design, check out these surprising ways to add mirrors to your design.

1) Add a Mirrored Table to Your Space

A mirrored coffee table can give your space an unexpected air of glitz and glam. The Orleans End Table from Bernhard has an antiqued mirror glass top and a wrought iron base finished in Silver Leaf to bring a dazzling style to your space. Its simple style will effortlessly beautify your space, giving it a sophisticated feel without making it seem too cluttered.

2) Brighten Up a Neutral Coffee Table

If you want to add an element of surprise to your neutral space, but don’t want to add color, try a mirrored tray or vase. Mirrors act like neutrals – there’s no color they won’t go with – and add a little sparkle and shine to the décor.

3) Use Mirrored Frames in a Gallery Wall

If you have a collection of family or vacation photos, liven up your home office by putting them in mirrored frames and creating a gallery wall. They’ll brighten up the room while also spotlighting your photos.

4) Hang a Mirror as a Piece of Art

A circular, silver-hued mirror hung above a buffet dresses up this living room. The Sunray Mirror by Hooker Furniture creates the illusion of more, adding depth and dimension to the walls. The buffet is topped with white vases filled with white lilies, adding a calm and peaceful touch to the room.

5) Put Mirrors on Your Closet Doors

Mirrored closet doors can create drama and bring light into your bedroom. Plus, they are practical. They serve as a wall of mirrors to let in more light and you can also use them as actual mirrors.

6) Create Impact with Shapes and Mirrors

Another way to layer in interest in your space is with a mirrored, hexagonal table such as the Ariana Rochelle Octagonal Cocktail Table with Silver Leaf and Mirror Top from Lexington. It’s got everything going for it: it’s mirrored, it’s silver, it’s shapely. It’s like a little jewel box for your living room.

Even in the most straightforward design, you can get creative with your mirrors. Fashionable and functional, mirrors are a key component of any well-designed space.
