Mirrors are one of the simplest ways to transform a room, but where you hang them matters just as much as the mirror itself. A common mistake is placing a mirror simply because there’s an empty wall. Instead, think about what the mirror will reflect. The reflection becomes part of your design, so you want it to add beauty and light to your space.

Reflect Natural Light

One of our favorite tricks is placing a mirror across from or adjacent to a window. This helps bounce natural light throughout the room, making the space feel brighter, larger, and more inviting.

Reflect Beautiful Views

Whether it’s a statement fireplace, a piece of artwork, or a view of your backyard, a mirror can double the beauty of the room by highlighting what you already love.

Avoid Reflecting Clutter

Take a step back before hanging your mirror and imagine what you’ll see reflected every day. If it’s a pile of mail, a busy countertop, or visual clutter, consider another location. A mirror draws attention to whatever it reflects—so let it showcase your home’s best features.

Our Favorite Rule

Before hanging any mirror, ask yourself one simple question: “What will this mirror reflect?” If the answer is light, a beautiful view, or a thoughtfully designed space, you’ve found the right spot.
