Mirrors, Mirrors on the Wall
Glam up a hall, staircase or wall with a mirror collection that reflects light and style
How you dress up your walls and how you accessorize an outfit have a lot in common. In both cases, simplicity sometimes rules, and other times, layering in more elements adds some needed drama. We all know how a mirror makes a space look larger, more open, and adds dimension. Imagine what happens when you take three, five, seven or even a couple dozen mirrors and group them together as wall art. A high fashion look for your walls, that's for sure.
Give a staircase a grander presence with a mix of mirrors on the wall leading your eye up the steps. It's more unexpected than the traditional design of arranging family photos along a staircase.

Circular mirrors — big and small — float behind a staircase, making an eye-catching statement. The mirrors share the same frame, which creates a pleasing arrangement to the eye.
Tip: If you're using mirrors that share the same frame, they naturally will look like they belong together. Play around with spacing the mirrors at random distances apart from each other. The randomness creates a sense of movement.

A mix of mirrors and framed family portraits line the staircase above a chair rail. The tightly clustered arrangement and mix of frames give this stairway an eclectic, traditional style. You feel like you're walking into the home of a collector.
This space captures a vintage rustic style. Everything seems to layer together so well — the gray walls, the large gray-framed mirrors, and the mix of terrariums on a rustic wood table. The cluster of large mirrors behind the table definitely creates a dramatic backdrop.
Seven mirrors with a more exotic style add intrigue to this space. The frames really draw in the eye — the mirrors have a starburst shape that I love.
This dramatic gallery wall features all rectangular-shaped mirrors in a mix of frames hung vertically and horizontally to fill in the wall. There's a noticeable symmetry because the mirrors are all spaced at the same intervals.
A grid of mirrors against the back wall of a large great room adds further dimension to the space. Here, the identical mirrors are hung without any space in between, so they look like one unified piece rather than a grouping of mirrors.
If you're scouting for mirrors to hang on your wall, here are a few favorite finds that make a statement alone or mix in beautifully with other mirrors.
This distressed round mirror looks like a vintage score with its layers of paint. But it's actually made of resin (which makes it light and easy to hang).

Tip: When you're arranging a small group of mirrors, think in odd numbers. Odd number groupings of objects are nearly always more appealing to the eye. So think 3, 5 or 7 mirrors.
