Mirror, mirror, on the wall – what are the best living room mirror ideas of them all?
Good news, you don’t have to travel through the looking glass to find out, as we’ve gathered a host of reflective inspiration for your living room ideas right here.
Adding a mirror to your living room is not only an aesthetic choice, it’s a practical one too that can work wonders for the proportions of the space.
‘Mirrors have long been a creative design tool of interior designers for their versatility and ability to make a statement in almost any room of the house,’ says Owen Pacey, founder of Renaissance London .
‘Mirrors are interesting art forms, in the way they play with dimension, reflection, truth and illusion, like the iconic hall in the Palace of Versailles, or the mirrored stairs through which Coco Chanel would watch her shop without being spied herself,’ says Martin Waller, founder of Andrew Martin .
Living room mirror ideas
Decorating with mirrors can make an enormous difference to a living room, whether it's small and dark or large and light-filled. From mirrored walls that make your space feel twice as big to contemporary silhouettes and rustic finishes, we asked the experts for their favorite living room mirror ideas and found some dazzling examples to reflect upon.
1. Make small living rooms feel bigger

‘A well-positioned mirror transforms a [room] with its reflective powers to lighten and enlarge a space, coupled with the element of interesting design,’ says Pacey. When used carefully, a mirror can create the illusion of more space in the room, making its addition particularly impactful among small living room ideas.
‘Decorating with mirrors will make any space feel bigger, as they allow natural light to bounce around the room,’ explains Camilla Clarke, Creative Director at Albion Nord . ‘Hang a large mirror on a wall opposite a window, or very near one, to reflect the outdoors, broadening the feel of your room.
’
This room goes all out with full wall mirrors that make the room feel almost twice as big, but smaller mirrors will also make a big difference.
2. Go full circle

When choosing a shape for your living room mirror, consider keeping it modern with a perfect circle. Particularly if used with minimal framing, the on trend shape can make your mirror feel like a tunnel to a parallel world. While the choice can add a contemporary touch to any living room, it works especially well when used amid other mid-century modern living room ideas. In the 1930s West Village apartment of furniture guru Christine Retlev , a vintage Otto Schulz mirror is the perfect addition to the living room’s Scandinavian mid-century furniture.
3. Think about what you are reflecting

Where you physically put your mirror is only half the story – you need to think about what is opposite it too.
‘In terms of placement, think about what you want to reflect,’ says Waller. ‘Through a mirror you can spot your favorite artwork from an unforeseen corner of the room, hang one opposite a window to bring the outside in or in a passageway as a keyhole for what the next room has in store.’
‘You can also try using a focal point and angling your mirrors towards it, which will give the illusion of depth,’ adds Clarke.
And what you reflect is important in terms of Feng Shui, too. The question of why you should hang mirrors over your fireplace in terms of this teaching is less focused on why it's a good idea – but what you should reflect. The experts suggest mirroring your garden or plants where possible, as this will complete the 'Creative Cycle' and promote a good energy in your room.
4. Bounce more light with bevelling

It’s not just objects or spaces that mirrors reflect, but light too. ‘Mirrors reflect both natural and artificial light to make a room brighter during the day and night, so factor them into your small living room lighting ideas,’ says Clarke.
‘Depending on the style of the room and the wall space available, place the mirror opposite the natural light to reflect the outdoors in, this will make the room appear much lighter and brighter,’ adds Kagu Interiors founder Ben Stokes.
To further increase the impact of a mirror’s light reflecting abilities, choose a mirror with bevelling or angled planes – this will bounce light in multiple directions.
5. Antique mirrors double up as art
(Image credit: Mark Bolton)
Mirrors are to be looked at – but while your reflection is obviously the most dazzling sight in the vicinity, bear in mind that the frame can make a substantial visual impact too.
‘Antique and vintage mirrors have a dual purpose,’ says Pacey. ‘They act as pieces of art, while also dispersing light effectively around the room.’ An ornate frame can make for a stunning centerpiece to a living area. Use it either as part of a maximalist, antiques-packed scheme like in this decadent living room, or create a luxurious focal point amid a pared back design.
6. Bring in mirrored furniture

Mirrors don’t only go on the wall – consider incorporating them into your living room furniture ideas too. ‘Incorporating glass tabletops will make it seem like there’s a more open flow,’ says Clarke. ‘You can also use mirrored cabinet doors to make spaces feel large and uncluttered.’
In this room, a full height cabinet is fitted with mirrored paneling, creating the illusion of another space beyond a screen. Using mirrored panels on smaller pieces of furniture will also make them feel less bulky, as well as serving to reflect light around the space.
7. Think big
(Image credit: Mark Luscombe-Whyte)
‘Don’t be afraid of scale when it comes to choosing your mirror,’ says Pacey.
‘Bigger is always better to instil more light and space in a room,’ adds Waller. ‘Like jewellery, spend more on a mirror as it can transform a space to sudden luxury.’
Adding a large mirror on the longer wall of a long living room is a good way to balance out the space and make the width feel bigger.
If hanging a very large (and very heavy) mirror feels daunting, embrace the on trend arrangement shown above. ‘Make a statement with an oversized mirror leant against the wall,’ says Stokes.
8. Flank your fireplace
(Image credit: James Merrell)
As you can see throughout many of these examples, placing a mirror over a fireplace is a popular move. It provides a focal point, while also making the top half of the room feel bigger – particularly helpful if a chimney breast sticks out significantly into the space.
Do, however, consider thinking a little differently. ‘A fireplace is an obvious place for a mirror but a pair either side or in alcoves also work well,’ says Pacey. This is demonstrated in this stylish living room, where a pair of mirrors serve to deepen the alcoves.
9. Go for gold
(Image credit: Davide Lovatti)
Going for gold with your mirror choice adds a luxurious touch to a living room – and its a trick that works in any style.
While golden framed mirrors are traditionally associated with ornate, Rococo-like designs, the brass renaissance has championed the warm metallic across simpler, contemporary styles. In this living room, a statement mirror adds a large square gold frame in a subtly brushed finish to a modish circular mirror.
10. Create a warm aesthetic with a wood-framed mirror
(Image credit: Kagu Interiors)
For gently cozy living room ideas, consider taking a more natural route with your mirror framing. ‘A wooden framed mirror works well to open up the living room,’ says Stokes. ‘The warming tones of the wood make the space feel welcoming, while the reflection tricks the eye into thinking the space is much larger.’
This choice works particularly well in neutral living rooms, as demonstrated in this inviting space.
11. Cluster up
(Image credit: Jan Baldwin)
If one big mirror is too much, consider splitting a large mirror’s reflective power across multiple parts.
‘Group them together in pairs, trios or clusters to make an impressive wall feature,’ suggests Pacey. ‘Don’t concern yourself too much with finding exact duplicates as groups of the same era add more personality.’ Hang small mirrors unevenly to create a gallery wall effect, or create a slick statement with large matching mirrors, like in this very modern living room.
12. Get experimental with shape
(Image credit: Chris Everard)
Circles, ovals and rectangles are all classically pleasing mirror shapes – but don’t be afraid to color outside the lines. Uneven, asymmetrical and positively weird shapes are a key contemporary mirror trend, so feel free to get a wiggle on. Look for mirrors with amorphous, globular shapes, or for slightly stretched versions of traditional shapes, like this bowed mirror.
13. Add rusticity with a tarnished mirror
(Image credit: Davide Lovati)
A tarnished mirror used to be a subject for sadness and a sign of a piece past it’s best – now, it’s a deliberate design feature.
Mirrors with speckled surfaces can be used with pride, working particularly well in slick, contemporary settings to add character, rusticity and texture to a space. In this room, largely white walls are punctuated by a black fireplace, black-framed mirror and a black tarnishing across the large reflective surface.
14. Maximize light with an oversized mirror
(Image credit: Albion Nord)
To keep formal living room ideas feeling smart and sophisticated you can't go wrong with a large rectangular mirror. It also goes without saying that the larger the mirror, the more light you will reflect back into a space.
In this scheme by Albion Nord the large mirror helps balance the wide-span bi-folding doors on the adjacent wall and beautifully reflects the garden back into the room creating a transient work of art.
15. Brighten up a dark living room

If you have a dark living room then a mirror is a quick and easy way to brighten the space.
Whether you love dark paint ideas or your room simply lacks light and is north facing, a mirror is a handy light-boosting solution.
Leaning a mirror on a mantel brings a laid-back look perfect for a bohemian living room but also has the practical benefit of being easier to move.
16. Lean a mirror as part of a styled table

As well as being practical visual devices, mirrors can be beautiful decorative objects serving the same purpose as a work of art, especially when they boast beautiful texture such as this vintage mirror with foxed glass. Leaning a mirror is a lovely way to integrate them into a decorative display and is especially great if you're looking for ways to make your living room beautiful.
When you lean art or mirrors, rather than hanging them on the wall, 'you open up new possibilities for styling around them,' says Erica Davis, co-founder of Murus . 'Complement your artwork with interesting objects, plants, or even other pieces of art to create a scene that's beautiful and highly personal.
Leaning art is also perfect for the indecisive, as it allows you to move things from room to room if you fancy a change.'
17. Integrate a mirror into paneling

If you are looking to create a traditional living room consider integrating a mirror into architectural paneling. Featuring a mirror fitted into ornate living room paneling, this space exudes elegance and Parisian grandeur.
18. Create an artful display

Mirrors are a brilliant way to create a decorative focal point especially when clustered together in different sizes as demonstrated here in the home of Bee Osborn, interior designer and founder of Studio Osborn .
When decorating with mirrors don't feel you need to stick to the rectangle says Sue Jones, founder of Oka . 'You can create just as much impact with a sculptural mirror as you can with a piece of art, so I like to look for more unconventional shapes to make a real statement.
’
Where should a mirror be placed in a living room?
If you have a fireplace, above the mantel is a clear candidate for housing a mirror, building upon a readymade centrepiece for the room (and also keeping it protected from anyone who might accidentally elbow it).
However, if you want to make the most of a mirror’s light reflecting qualities, place it somewhere where it will gather and emit lots of natural light, such as opposite or near a window. Likewise, consider what you want to reflect – if you have a much-loved piece of artwork on one wall, placing a mirror opposite it will mean you can enjoy it twice over.
How do you decorate a living room wall with a mirror?
In a living room, mirrors can be as big as you can manage. Choose a statement piece to act as a centerpiece to the room, or even go all out with a top-to-toe mirrored wall. Mirrors don’t need to be hung either – consider resting one on the mantelpiece, or even leaning a really large mirror on the floor.
Pick one in a shape and style that suits the design of the rest of your living room – for mid-century modern rooms, go circular, while traditionally styled spaces can handle a ornate, gold frame.

Mirrors in the interior of the living room and their functions

Mirrors in the living room - 80 photos of unusual design ideas
For several millennia in a row, people have been looking at their reflection in mirrors and decorating their own homes with them.
During its long history, the mirror has undergone many changes: from convex, polished to a shine, volcanic glass, it has turned into an original design element.
Over time, people got used to using them not only to admire themselves, but also to visually increase the space in the rooms.
Mirrors in the living room are especially popular. Not all owners can boast of large square meters of this room, but visually expanding the area is within the power of everyone.

Correctly enlarge the living room space with a mirror
The easiest and most affordable way to make the living room visually larger is to properly use the mirror in this room.
With it, you can make a narrow living room look wider, and a short hallway - visually stretch. Mirrored ceilings make the room appear taller than it really is.
In addition, a mirror in the interior of the living room is also a stylish decor accessory.
The British pay the greatest attention to this interior item. In their opinion, even a few dozen chic paintings will not replace one mirror.
The absence of this attribute in the house is considered bad form, because a mirror is, first of all, a spectacular accessory. So how to use it to the maximum benefit for the interior and space improvement?
Many people think that a mirror must be hung on the wall, but this is just an established stereotype. Recently, it has become fashionable to decorate a room with a full-length mirror, freely standing against the wall.
You can often see this trick when looking at pictures of living room mirrors that can be found on any designer website.
Such a design is able to emphasize the stylistic orientation of the interior, because a certain part of the room will be reflected in such a mirror. This option is also convenient for those who can fully see themselves in the reflection.
Optimal place to install a mirror
As mentioned earlier, this piece of furniture is able to visually expand the space. To achieve the right effect, you should carefully consider the choice of location for installing the mirror.
It will certainly prove useful in the bathroom, in the living room on the wall, in the corridor, in the bedroom, there is even a place for it on the ceiling. Quite often, a mirror is installed in a corner, near a wall or opposite a window. The main condition is a good overview for everyone and the right combination of this item with other decorative elements.
A popular design idea for a living room with a mirror is wardrobes with reflective door surfaces. This solution is not only very practical, but also allows you to create the illusion of expanded space.
Remember that a mirror is, first of all, a decorative element that, when used correctly, can change the proportions of a room and expand its boundaries.
Mirror in the living room interior
If you plan to use a mirror to optimize space, then give preference to models with a narrow frame, the color of which matches the color of the walls in the room.
The mirror can also be placed in front of the window - then it will reflect the beautiful street landscape. In addition, the rays of the sun falling on the surface will make the room brighter and more welcoming.
Another useful function of the mirror is to mask the defects on the walls and switch the guests' attention to the right part of the room. This element of the interior looks good above a decorative fireplace or chest of drawers in the room.
If you prefer traditional options, you can try to place a mirror in the living room above the sofa. In this case, pay special attention to the proportions of the mirror itself, as well as the shape and thickness of the frame. These parameters are individual and depend on what effect you want to achieve:
- A wide mirror surface in a horizontal frame will make the room feel deeper, doubling the space;
- Vertical frame will make the ceilings higher.
This option is suitable for low small rooms.
Visual effects and optical illusions
An interesting result can be obtained by using a mirror in combination with a window. Here are two amazing tricks you can pull off on your own:
- A mirror on the wall in the living room, placed between two windows, will expand the room by two, and in some cases - three times.
- In this case, the mirror is mounted on the wall opposite the window. At first glance, it may seem that there is another window opening in the living room. However, this is a great opportunity to let more sunlight into the room.
There are a few important rules to remember:
When choosing a place for a mirror, focus not on the window, but on the harmony of the mirror surface with the interior;
Make sure that this piece of furniture focuses on the advantages of the room and hides its shortcomings;
It is important to correctly identify the problem areas in the room and present in detail the result you want to achieve.
This will make it easier for you to navigate the choice of the mirror itself and the place for its installation.
Transformation of a narrow corridor
Corridors in modern apartments are usually long and narrow, but even they have enough space for a mirror. This solution is also very convenient - almost every one of us is not averse to once again evaluate our appearance before leaving the house.
However, a mirror in the hallway is much more useful than just the ability to reflect surrounding objects. It can also adjust the shape and height of the room.
To lengthen a small corridor, it is enough to install a mirrored vertical surface at the end against the wall.
It would also be nice to widen the narrow corridor a bit. To do this, the mirror is installed on one of the walls, looking at each other. A great idea would be to install a closet with sliding mirrored doors in the hallway - the effect will be the same as from a regular mirror.
