Mirror, Mirror On the Wall

Picking the Right Mirror

When it comes to mirrors, size definitely matters — but it’s not the only thing that does.

Hang It Up!

A common mistake people make is leaning mirrors instead of hanging them. Hanging your mirror on the wall instantly elevates its look, giving it a more dramatic and intentional feel. Even a smaller mirror feels larger and more impactful when it’s placed properly on the wall.

And let’s be real — we need those mirror pics, right? A wall-mounted mirror not only looks better, but it also functions better. When a mirror is just angled against a wall, it doesn't elongate your body or fully reflect what’s in front of it.

But beyond the visual benefit, mounting your mirror also clears up floor space. This gives you more freedom to place a bench in front of it, tuck a plant nearby, or simply let that space breathe. It’s a subtle design move that can totally shift the feel of a room, making it more open, thoughtful, and styled with intention.

So, it’s not just about the size — it’s how you present it and how it works with the rest of your space.

K.I.S.S

There are so many mirror options out there, it’s easy to get caught up in the glam — beveled edges, rhinestones, glitter… but I promise, you don’t need all that.

Sometimes, basic is A-OK. Especially when it comes to floor mirrors. These aren’t usually the focal point of the room, so they don’t need to outshine everything else. Clean lines and simplicity allow the rest of the space to breathe.

When It’s Time to Play… Go Off

Now when it comes to mirrors styled over dressers or console tables? That’s when I love to have fun. I go for pieces with unique silhouettes, textures, or shapes that add character and depth. These are the places where a mirror can really become art.

Sometimes I choose a mirror because it flows perfectly with the space — other times, I pick something bold and contrasting to spark a little emotion. Either way, mirrors are such an easy way to bring life into the room.
