How to Style Your Home with Statement Mirrors

Over the years, mirrors have become about so much more than just their functional attributes. Mirrors are now considered key décor pieces that can play a huge role within your home, while still being completely practical - they’re the epitome of style meets functionality. 

So, if you’re looking for creative ways to really elevate your space, look no further. We’re chatting with Luxe Mirrors to discover a few tips on how to style your home with statement mirrors.

Incorporating Shapes to Add Interest

Right now, it’s all about those irregular shapes and curves, and how they add interest to your space. While classic shapes have their place, contemporary shapes are perfect for that extra bit of personality. Asymmetrical or curved-shaped mirrors can act as eye-catching statement pieces, providing a sculptural element to your walls. Plus, they’re super versatile and suit most spaces and styles, from contemporary bedrooms to retro bathrooms and everything in between.

Framed Mirrors as Functional Art

The frame of a mirror can be just as impactful as the mirror itself. We love detailed frames that instantly work to elevate your room even by themselves. Opting for a mirror with a detailed frame also allows you to bring a style to life, whether it be a vintage design for a classic look or even a natural timber feature for a coastal-style home. In fact, mirrors with intricately designed frames can work perfectly in rooms that might not have much wall space for other art, combining the best of art and functionality. 

Mirrors as Focal Points within Your Space

Some mirrors are just made to stand out and we think making them a focal point is the perfect décor idea. However, this tip often only works with larger mirrors, or those with intricate frames as you want them to stand out and create conversation. For example, take an oversized floor-standing mirror with a gorgeous arched shape and a subtle frame as a striking addition to a modern home. This piece is the perfect option for a focal point due to its large size. A floor-standing mirror styled with too many other pieces of furniture or decorative elements may overwhelm the eye instead of drawing it in. 

Create the Illusion of Space Through Mirrors

Mirrors are the perfect solution for making small spaces feel bigger. By reflecting light and surroundings, they can open up rooms, giving the illusion of space. Who said statement pieces in compact spaces aren’t possible? For example, in small bedrooms, placing a large mirror on the wall not only makes the space feel bigger but also helps bounce natural light around, making it feel brighter. Plus, they’re the perfect décor addition to drawers. Need we say more?

Tip: Where possible, we recommend hanging mirrors opposite windows to capture and amplify the natural light, which will brighten your space naturally. 

So, whether you're aiming to create the illusion of space, add an artistic element with a unique shape, or craft a focal point that anchors a room, mirrors can do it all.
