10 Ways to Use Mirrors to Decorate Your Space…

Mirrors are a great addition to any space.  They make even the smallest spaces feel bigger.  Mirrors are a great way to reflect both natural and artificial light to brighten up your space.  ​

Have a great view that you just can’t get enough of?  You can use a mirror in one way or another to take advantage of it.

Or maybe you’re looking for that special touch that only a good mirror can provide.

Check out this list of 10 of the many ways you can use mirrors to decorate your space.

Way #1 - Add a Mirrored Backsplash

Whether it’s in the kitchen, butler’s pantry, or bar – using mirror as a backsplash really enlarges a space.  You can use solid panels or a mirrored tile to create the look.

Way #2 - Add a Mirrored Wall

This is another great example of using mirrors to make you space feel larger.

Way #3 - Use Mirrored Furniture

Mixing in a mirrored piece of furniture into your space allows you to get some of the great benefits of this design detail without the full commitment of covering a entire wall.

Way #4 - Prop Up Large Floor Mirrors

Just prop up a large floor mirror against the wall and see the difference in can make in your space.  Stand it up all by itself or behind a grouping of furniture.

​Way #5 - Add Mirror to Doors

Adding mirror to doors can really open up a space.  Try adding it to doors in a room or doors in your casework.  Maybe to just your closet door to give you a full length mirror without taking up your much needed floor or wall space.

​Way #6 - Use a Lighted Mirror

Adding a lighted mirror above your bathroom vanity can take your space to the next level.  It gives you not only a designer touch but a great functional benefit.

​Way #7 - Group Mirrors

Try grouping mirrors together on your wall.  They can be all the same size and style.  Or you can switch it up with different mirrors that work together for a collage type installation.

​Way #8 - Add a Pop of Interest

Sometimes adding a mirror to a space is more about art than having a place to check out your reflection.

​Way #9 - To Reflect a Window or Create One

Like the look of a window but no place to add one in your space?  Try using a mirror that looks like a window.  Or maybe you do have a window in your space but you need more privacy?  Try swapping out the window glass for mirror panels instead.  Have a great view through a window that you want to take advantage of?  Try placing a mirror across from it to reflect it.

​Way #10 - Add Character with Antiqued Mirrors

Love all these great ideas for using mirror?  But maybe you don’t want the typical type of mirror…  Try antiqued mirror.  This type of aged mirror is a great way to add a bit of character to your space.  And best of all it comes in a variety of “ages” depending on what type of look you’re interested in.  It can be lightly aged or more heavily aged for a darker look.
