A mirror earns its place in almost every room, but the right mirror changes from space to space. Here is a simple, room-by-room guide to choosing and placing one across your home.
The entryway
The entryway is where a mirror works hardest. It gives you a last look on the way out, bounces daylight into what is often a windowless space, and sets the tone for the whole home. A full-length leaner by the door makes a narrow hallway feel open, while a sculptural wall mirror above a console adds character without taking up space.
The living room
In the living room, a mirror is about light and atmosphere. Hang one where it can reflect a window, a plant or a favourite corner, above the sofa, a console or a fireplace. A single large asymmetrical mirror, or a considered pair, becomes a quiet piece of art on the wall.
The bedroom
Here, a full-length mirror is the essential. Lean it beside the wardrobe or in a dressing corner for a flattering, head-to-toe reflection, and let its frame add a soft, sculptural note to the room. Avoid positioning a mirror directly facing the bed if it disturbs your rest, an adjacent wall still reflects light without the reflection.
The bathroom
Bathrooms are the real test of a mirror. Steam and humidity quickly cloud or blacken cheaper glass at the edges. Because every MUNLER mirror uses a copper-free, lead-free silver glass and a rust-resistant stainless steel frame, it is well suited to damp rooms, an organic, asymmetrical shape also softens all the hard tile and straight lines.
The kitchen and dining space
A mirror in a kitchen or dining area reflects light and makes the room feel more generous, especially in open-plan spaces. Position one to catch a window or pendant light, and choose a finish that echoes your hardware: warm champagne gold with brass, matte black with darker fittings.
Start with the shape
Whichever room you are styling, an asymmetrical silhouette brings movement and a sense of the hand-made that a plain round or rectangular mirror cannot. Browse the full asymmetrical mirror collection, or read our guide on how to style an asymmetrical mirror. Free UK delivery.
