Living Room: Round or Arched Mirror While a rectangular mirror above the mantel can work, a mirror with a bit of a curve to it will nicely offset the angles of the fireplace. Look for a mirror with a rounded or arched top or a round mirror that fills up at least three-quarters of the mantel width, like the one in this space by Nest Design. If your living room doesn’t have a fireplace or if you’d rather hang art above the mantel, try hanging a round or arched mirror above a credenza instead.
In the home office, a mirror isn’t so much a need as a nice extra: The right one adds a bit of sparkle, extra light and enhances the overall style of the room. Any fun, statement-making shape will work, but if you’re not sure what to choose, go with a sunburst mirror. These decorator favorites have a long, rich history, and they look just as stylish today.
Unlike the bathroom vanity, which you probably use as a getting-ready station in the morning, the powder room is designed for quick stops and guests. With that in mind, this is a great place to splash out on a fun, statement-making mirror. Still aim for a size that matches (or nearly matches) the width of the vanity, to create a full look.
It’s common for entryways to be a bit dark. A big mirror will amplify what light you do have and can make a narrow space feel roomier. Why round? While other shapes can certainly work in the entry, a round mirror is a sure bet. Its curves are a welcome counterpoint to the straight lines and sharp angles of the doorway, and it works equally well above a console table or on its own.
In the bedroom, a full-length mirror is helpful for getting ready, and positioned to the side of the bed, it’s there when you want it but isn’t staring you in the face while you’re trying to relax. Opting for a leaning rather than flush-mounted mirror looks more modern; you can still secure the top of the mirror with a wall anchor to prevent tipping.
Get the height right. In general, experts say ceiling fans are at an optimal height for air movement when they are 8 to 9 feet above the ground (and at least 12 to 18 inches from the nearest wall). They can be higher, but the blades shouldn’t be less than 7 feet above the ground, for safety. Personal preference, in addition to ceiling height and slope, can affect the mounting type you choose for your ceiling fan.
Mirrors. Adding a large mirror to your wall is one of the first ways to simulate the effect of a window, not just for bouncing some light but also for adding a sense of depth that breaks up claustrophobic wall planes. In a space with a low-ceiling, use as large a mirror as possible, reaching close to the ceiling (but not all the way up; stop 4 to 6 inches below) to distract from the ceiling line.
Mirror across from a window. Increase light and views by placing a big mirror directly across from a window. Reflecting a beautiful view is ideal, but placing a mirror across from any window that gets good light will make your room feel sunnier.
Two mirrors on adjacent walls. Want to really make a statement? Line two adjacent walls with mirrors to really bounce the light around the room. This works especially well in the dining room, as it gives the impression there is a bigger crowd around the table — but be warned, the multiple reflections created by two mirrors can be dizzying.
Pretty mirrors behind bedside lamps. No, you won't be able to look into them, but that is not the point here. Placing mirrors behind lamps is a great way to ramp up the glow of your lamplight — the pretty frames are icing.
Narrow mirror flanked with art. Whether placed over a console in the entry or above a buffet in the dining room, this combination will not fail you. Start with a narrow mirror, either rectangular or faceted, and beef it up with two pairs of small, framed artwork. The key lies in the symmetry of the arrangement — pick four equal-size frames and measure precisely when you hang them.
Wall mirror behind a chest. Sneakily suggest there is more space than meets the eye in a small apartment by lining a wall with mirror and scooting a chest in front. The effect is subtle but very glamorous.
Wood framed mirror in the kitchen. Instantly create a homier vibe in the kitchen with the addition of a wood framed mirror. Large or small, propped on a shelf or hung from the wall, it all works. The key is to choose a mirror that looks as if it belongs in a living room or bedroom — something with a bit of warmth to it.
1. Full-length mirror between two windows. Placing a mirror between two windows tricks the eye into thinking there is another window there and helps maximize natural light. Casually propping a full-length mirror against the wall brings a relaxed mood to the room.
Replacing part of the backsplash with a small window and using an antiqued mirror behind the sink reflects light into the space. Making the structural changes for this new window cost about $1,000. The treatment on the custom-designed mirror adds visual texture and won't show every stain and spill.
