Hallway mirror ideas are a quick and easy way to instantly transform the look and feel of an entryway. A brilliant way to maximize light and create an illusion of space, mirrors can play a big part in creating a warm and uplifting welcome for guests as they enter your home.

‘Mirrors are the easiest way to make a space seem bigger and brighter, especially in areas like a hallway where it can be dark and narrow. Having one by the front door also gives you the perfect opportunity for a last-minute outfit check before you leave the house,’ says Sam Hood, co-founder & chief creative officer at Amara.

In addition to their practical uses, with so many designs to choose from, mirrors are a great opportunity to introduce personality into a hallway, which is a space that can easily be overlooked when it comes to decorating. To get you inspired we’ve rounded up an array of mirrors to add to your list of hallway ideas.

Hallway mirror ideas

Hallway mirror ideas may not be at the top of your decorating list, but decorating with mirrors can make a big impact on a space and is a particularly effective narrow hallway idea, as they instantly make a room feel wider.

As spaces in which we do not spend huge amounts of time, it can be easy to overlook hallways when it comes to decor, but they can be a fabulous place to make a design statement to impress guests. 

'Don’t feel you have to stick with a traditional rectangle 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,' says Sue Jones co-founder and creative director at Oka .

1. Choose a large architectural mirror

If you have a home with grand proportions why not take a cue from the architecture and showcase an oversized architectural mirror? Echoing a window frame, this large mirror enhances the symmetry, light and luxury of this space while the slightly distressed glass adds delicate texture.

Alcoves can be beautiful architectural features – rather than box them in why not make a feature of them by adding a sculptural mirror and console table, as demonstrated here? 

This sleek, stylish hallway mirror makes fantastic use of the narrow space and is a brilliant way to create a decorative feature in a small room where scope for decorating is limited. Positioned directly opposite the front door, this mirror reflects maximum light back into the space, which is particularly useful in a hallway.

As functional spaces often paved with hard, practical flooring, hallways can sometimes feel cold and uninviting, but adding a circular mirror will instantly soften the space. 

'We often like to use a round mirror. The curvature sits in nice contrast to the sharper lines of a console table or light fixture in a hallway, bringing a softer edge to the space,' says Louise Wicksteed, design director at Sims Hilditch .

A circular mirror is also a cute cottage hallway idea, especially when combined with furniture and accessories in rustic natural materials and an aged limestone hallway flooring idea.

3. Maximize light in an apartment

If you have a small hallway or are looking for entryway ideas for apartments then consider a floor to ceiling mirrored surface as this is the ultimate light- and space-boosting device. 

To bring even more light into the a space, consider teaming reflective surfaces with hallway lighting ideas. Positioning table lamps on a console table in front of a hallway mirror will allow additional light to be reflected around the space after nightfall.

5. Add period grandeur

Reminiscent of a Parisian townhouse, this beautiful panelling features an integrated mirror contributing to an air of opulence and luxury. In this case, the ornate woodwork of the panelling creates a frame for the mirror, but for those without ornate panelling can consider hunting in antique shops for beautiful antique designs with decorative frames.  Small touches such as these can all help to make an entryway more inviting.

6. Finish a quirky look with an antique fisheye mirror

Antique gilded mirrors make a beautiful decorative statement in traditional hallway and are a natural choice for period properties. However they can also make a quirky statement when paired with contemporary furniture and bold hallway paint ideas as this quirky space demonstrates.

'Whether buying gilded pieces for investment or purely for decorative reasons there is a plethora of different mediums you can choose from. Statement overmantel mirrors are currently fashionable,' says antiques expert Marc Allum .

'A period Chippendale or Adam-style mirror might cost tens of thousands, but the Victorians and Edwardians made countless reproductions. Other popular styles include Regency convex mirrors with eagle surmounts and Regency triple-plate overmantels with gesso pictorial friezes, which were also reproduced later,' he adds.

7. Introduce a color pop

One of the first things that guests see when entering your home, a hallway mirror is a brilliant opportunity to make a statement which reflects your personality, setting the tone for the rest of your interiors. With a wealth of designs with decorative frames to chose from there's guaranteed to be a style to suit your taste. This colorful circular design from Jonathan Adler brings a retro twist to this simple space. 

8. Create a relaxed feel with a leaning mirror

A full length mirror in a hallway will reflect maximum light into a space but is handy for checking your outfit and appearance before you leave the house. If you've fallen in love with a mirror but are worried about the weight of it hanging on a wall then leaning it may be a practical solution – this is often a good way to display large antique mirrors as they are particularly heavy. In fact the weight of a mirror is a good indication of its age when it comes to sourcing genuine antique mirrors.  

Leaning hallway mirrors also avoid the need to damage walls, although fitting an anchor hook to secure it from the top can be wise. Leaning a mirror also means that it can be easily moved if you fancy a change around.

9. Brighten up a cottage hallway

Hanging a hallway mirror is a quick and easy way to boost light. While they are full of beautiful original features, cottages often have small windows and low ceilings meaning they can lack light. Fitting a wall light above a mirror as above is a clever addition as it will allow even more light to be reflected back into the room. 

Search flea markets and antique shops for decorative designs and don't worry about chippy paint or foxed glass – this can all contribute to the charm. In this characterful hallway the mirrors also serve to help frame the entry table decor.

'A large rectangular mirror brings an elegance and gravitas to the room, particularly when source from an antique dealer,' says Louise Wicksteed, design director at Sims Hilditch.

10. Opt for sleek circles

Mirrors, feature floors and lighting ideas are all excellent ways to introduce a decorative touch to white and neutral hallways, as this space proves. Complementing the strong lines of the hallway panelling, this sleek circular mirror from Amara works alongside a striking geometric floor and sculptural modern light fitting to finish this dynamic modern hallway idea. 

Is a mirror good in a hallway?

Mirrors area good way to make a hallway feel instantly brighter, bigger and more welcoming, plus they can create a beautiful decorative statement in a small space.

'A hallway is the first part of your home that anyone will see when they enter, so it's important to make sure it's a true reflection of your personality and style,' says Emma Deterding, founder and creative Director, Kelling Designs . 'To keep a brighter feel, opt for neutral tones on the walls as they'll keep the hall fresh and use a large mirror to help reflect light whilst giving the illusion of space. '

Where should mirrors be placed in a hallway?

Being narrow spaces, hallways benefit from having mirrors placed on the wall as this will instantly make the spaces feel wider. Mirrors work particularly well hung above a console table at a height convenient for checking your appearance before leaving the house. 

Alternatively a large mirror can be leant against the wall offering maximum light-reflection and a full length view of your outfit before leaving the house. Displaying a mirror in this way also avoids damage to a wall and means the mirror can be moved more easily. 

If possible try to position a mirror opposite or adjacent to a light source as this will allow maximum light to be reflected into the space.

> Hallway > Mirror in the hallway - types and forms. 55 photos of the best mirrors in the interior of the hallway.

Entering an apartment, a person first of all finds himself in the hallway - a small room in which one must name oneself and take off one's outer clothing. However, the dimensions of this room do not allow for design scope. A mirror in the hallway will come to the aid of decorators. In addition to expanding the space, this element is necessary in order to evaluate your appearance before leaving the house.

General recommendations

For the correct selection of mirrors, it is necessary to take into account the area of ​​the room, the style of the apartment as a whole, as well as the color scheme of the furniture. For those whose knowledge of design cannot be called extensive, a huge number of ready-made furniture sets are offered today. The wall mirror in the hallway can be supplemented with shelves, hangers for coats and raincoats or hooks for umbrellas.

• An excellent alternative to bulky furniture options is a model of a mirror mounted on a stand. It's perfect for tiny rooms, and it folds up easily and hides in a closet.

• If we talk about the number of reflective surfaces, it is better to hang one large mirror in the hallway than a lot of small ones. Psychologists have proven the depressing effect on the psyche, provided by an excessive number of reflections. In addition, in a glazed space, a person can even lose orientation.

• Keep the mirror out of the sun to maintain its reflectivity. Therefore, you can not place mirrors directly opposite the windows, it is better to choose a place on the wall a little obliquely.

• For non-standard shapes, it is recommended to choose the simplest frame possible. A photo of a mirror in the hallway, made in a non-standard style, most often shows a combination of pretentiousness and conciseness. The rule for selecting a frame also applies in the opposite direction: the simpler the shape, the more original the decoration should be.

• If the walls in the room are too narrow, visually expand them with a well-chosen mirror. Even the unevenness of the ceiling and the excessive brightness of the walls can be smoothed out by this amazing invention of mankind. To do this, place the mirror on the wall, the color of which you want to muffle.

A worthy framing

Mirror framing must be carefully thought out to maintain design and style. The congregation, made in the Baroque style, is ideally complemented by self-sufficient stucco frames, decorated with carvings. It is important to avoid excessive pomposity with discreet accessories.

The walls, painted in imitation of a metallic sheen, are best emphasized by mirrors in a smooth frame, devoid of volume. For an avant-garde look, it is best to opt for black or steel frames.

A spacious and bright hallway will look original if the mirror is framed with a mirror sheet. But to add solidity to the room will help an impressive wood frame.

Types and shapes of mirrors

Wall mirrors

The design of the mirror in the hallway largely depends on how this decorative element is attached to the room. The most popular method is hanging on the wall. As for the shapes, the most relevant are rectangular and round. In the matter of the size of reflective surfaces, there are no limits at all, even a tiny one, even the entire wall. Frames are not required for wall paintings. Original mirrors with a sand pattern on the smooth surface. Horizontal placement visually expands the walls, but lowers the ceiling.

Floor mirrors

A frame for the floor mirror is essential as it must be stable. Moreover, the special design of the rack allows you to choose an individual angle of inclination of the reflective sheet. Thus, a person gets the opportunity to consider himself from any convenient angle. Even the dressing table sections do not provide such an advantage. As for the forms, it is customary to make floor models rectangular or oval.

Illuminated mirrors

Designers recommend eliminating the lack of illumination in the hallway with the help of illuminated mirrors. For this, spotlights are used, mounted directly into the frame of the product. Such light sources do not blind the eyes, and also do not require additional sockets.

Feng Shui dictates its own rules

It's no secret that the Oriental doctrine of interior design pays special attention to mirrors, and requires them to be correctly placed in the room. After all, the reflection of something can be multiplied in a person's life.

Oriental sages insist on choosing a round mirror for the hallway, because it is this form that helps to save the energy that leaves the house when the door is opened. The circle is a symbol of harmony, helps to restore damaged nerves, gives peace.

A cabinet with a mirror in the hallway can crush the reflection, causing serious damage to a person's energy. Therefore, it is better to abandon bulky furniture, limiting yourself to small shelves.

Feng shui hallway mirror should not be hung or placed directly in front of the front door. So the sages recommend not locking yourself in a cage, not limiting the freedom of the spirit. Also, the reflection of the door directly can expel happiness and well-being from the house. In addition, reflective surfaces should not be placed opposite each other to avoid energy absorption by this mirror corridor.

General rules for choosing a mirror

What frame should the mirror have?

Since the mirror on the wall in the hallway deserves special attention, it is certainly worthwhile to approach the choice of the frame with all responsibility.

Firstly, a frame made of metal or black plastic looks pretty nice on the wall;

Thirdly, when choosing a mirror in a room with Art Nouveau style, you should pay attention to large wall paintings, which have no frame at all.

Floor mirrors

Pay attention to the fact that today the corner mirror in the hallway does not have to be wall-mounted. Quite often, various floor models are also used.

Of course, the design takes up a lot of space, but at the same time, it has its advantages - you can see yourself from absolutely any angle.
