How to Decorate With Mirrors

May 18, 2020

One of my favorite decorating tricks is to hang a mirror. Mirrors not only serve as (affordable) wall decor, but they can also reflect light, making a room appear bigger. And, of course, they are functional, not only for checking that your shirt isn’t on backwards and your hair looks okay, but also for snapping selfies. Recently, I’ve seen lots of gorgeous mirrors, many of which are on major sale — so many so, that I’m actually having trouble deciding which to order for our new home. How many mirrors is too many?

Help! I’m thinking we’ll use one for our dining room, maybe one in the living room, one in the entrance, and one in Charlie’s room. I also would love a really cool standing mirror for our room. Is that insane? The only reason it sort of doesn’t feel that crazy is the rooms are all fairly large with lots of wall space to fill, they’re spread out enough that it won’t be like walking through a fun house, AND I can buy like five mirrors for half the price of a piece of a single piece of art work….

Help! Which of these should we scoop up?
