Mirrors: How to Choose a Mirror for Each Room

Mirrors are a fantastic way to accessorise your home and freshen up the interior. This post aims to inspire you to put more mirrors in your home and explain where they work best. We’ve taken a room-by-room approach.

Hallway & Living Room

Add space to your home without the building work. No matter how small your hallway or living room, a mirror can work wonders to make a space feel less cramped and more welcoming. Psychologically speaking, this really works as it tricks your brain into thinking the mirrored space is real.

The benefit of having a mirror in the hall near the door is that you can check your appearance before you leave the house. Smarten up for work, or adjust your hair and outfit for a day or night out. A little head-height mirror works for checking your makeup or your teeth before you leave, and a full-length mirror will give you the whole caboodle.

Bathroom

The bathroom mirror is the place where you want to see exactly what’s going on – when shaving, plucking or home-dyeing hair, for example. If you’re a beard owner or like to preen in the bathroom, it’s all about that clarity, convenient head height and magnification. Lighting is crucial for bathroom grooming routines.

Wall-mounted mirrors and those with ledges are ideal for the bathroom, as you can keep small items like tweezers, razors, and other essentials close at hand and ready when you need them.

Bedroom

Bedroom mirrors are the best place to express yourself. Whether you want something minimalist, Scandi, industrial-chic and understated, or ornate, delicate and elaborate, the bedroom is where you can go wild and unleash your interior design flair. In keeping with the trend for multiple pictures on the wall, you can recreate this look with mirrors, too.

If you wear makeup, getting a magnifying mirror, accompanied by good lighting, for your toiletry stand or dressing table not only helps you keep your makeup looking tip-top but can also be a focal point in the room, drawing the eye and bringing the room together. A full-length floor mirror is great for seeing your outfits, if you have enough space. If not, a wall-mounted long mirror keeps floor space free.

It’s time to put all that into practise and reap the benefits of a brighter, more spacious space, while adding lovely design pieces and intrigue to your home.
