From enhancing lighting to creating the illusion of more space, a decorative accent mirror can transform your home from so-so to oh-so-sophisticated.&nbsp; More than just a decoration, mirrors can be a game-changing element of your home decor. These stylish and transformative pieces can add personality to any room as they amplify natural light, enlarge spaces, and create stunning focal points.&nbsp; If you&rsquo;re ready for some tips on how to choose and arrange an accent mirror (along with some options you can buy), prepare to be dazzled &mdash; this guide has everything you need to use accent mirrors to upgrade your living space into a reflection of your unique style.
<h2>How to choose an accent mirror&nbsp;</h2>
<img alt="Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-179517" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/black-and-white-living-room-with-an-accent-mirror-hanging-on-the-wall.jpeg" alt="Black and white living room with an accent mirror hanging on the wall"> Choosing an accent mirror is something you want to carry out with intention. While it might not require as much (or any) floor space as other pieces of furniture, it&rsquo;s still an important piece that can change the mood and style of an area. For instance, are you looking for a floor mirror or are you <a alt="Go to Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/decorative-wall-mirrors">styling a decorative wall mirror</a>? Whatever the case might be, consider the specific room you're updating and the personality you want to convey. With that in mind, let's start with the basics of size, frame style, and shape.&nbsp;
<h3>Remember that size matters&nbsp;</h3>
<a alt="Go to Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/square-led-wall-mirror-silver-and-black"><img alt="Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-179508" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Carter-Square-LED-Wall-Mirror-Silver-and-Black.jpg" alt="Accent mirror: Carter Square LED Wall Mirror Silver and Black" width="1200" height="1415"></a> Always consider the size of the space for your accent mirrors. For example, modest-sized mirrors are best for smaller spaces while expansive rooms work well with bolder, more substantial mirrors.&nbsp; You'll also want to consider the scale of the other decorative elements and furniture in the room. For instance, if you're <a alt="Go to Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/modern-office">decorating a modern home office</a> with a large-scale desk and sprawling sectional, you don't want a small floor mirror propped in the corner. In this case, you might want a sizeable wall-mounted mirror to match the existing proportions in the room.&nbsp;
<h3>Consider the frame style</h3>
<a alt="Go to Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/winslow-standing-mirror-smokey-walnut-and-coffee-bean"><img alt="Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-179513" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Winslow-Standing-Mirror-Smokey-Walnut-and-Coffee-Bean-1.jpg" alt="Winslow Standing Mirror Smokey Walnut and Coffee Bean"></a> Next, think about frame style. Accent mirrors come in framed and frameless designs.&nbsp; Frameless mirrors are sleek and less imposing, better for reflecting existing style. They're popular as vanity mirrors in bathrooms but can also be used to add a touch of <a alt="Go to Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/bling-your-space-guide-to-glam-style">glam style</a> to any space.&nbsp; Most frameless mirrors are wall-mounted for safety. Look for one with a beveled edge if you want something extra eye-catching.&nbsp; Framed mirrors work well for adding style to a space. There&rsquo;s a kaleidoscope of options to choose from, so consider the existing decor of the room and choose accordingly.&nbsp; For example, a <a alt="Go to Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/classic-meets-contemporary-guide-to-transitional-style">transitional room</a> might benefit from a matte black metal frame or a sleek chrome frame while a <a alt="Go to Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/timeless-elegance-guide-to-traditional-style">traditional space</a> could showcase an elaborately detailed wood frame.&nbsp;
<h3>Have fun with shapes</h3>
<a alt="Go to Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/letter-shaped-wall-mirror"><img alt="Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-179510" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Keiran-Letter-Shaped-Wall-Mirror.jpg" alt="Keiran Letter Shaped Wall Mirror"/></a> Mirror shapes extend far beyond classic oval and rectangle designs. Embrace the opportunity to pick a shape that adds visual interest to your space.&nbsp; For extra style, you might pick a sunburst wall mirror above the sofa in a <a alt="Go to Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/mid-century-modern-living-room-decor-on-a-budget">mid-century modern living room</a>. Or maybe you'd prefer a&nbsp;<a alt="Go to Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/mirage-acrylic-crystals-inlay-wall-mirror-with-led-lights">river rock-inspired oval wall mirror</a> above the bath in a luxe washroom.&nbsp; Don&rsquo;t limit yourself to traditional shapes, though. As demonstrated by the <a alt="Go to Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/letter-shaped-wall-mirror">Keiran Letter Shaped Wall Mirror</a> in the photo above, more artistic shapes can be beautiful and full of character.&nbsp;
<h2>Where and how to position your accent mirrors</h2>
<img alt="Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-179518" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/huge-accent-mirrors-hanging-on-the-wall.jpeg" alt="Huge accent mirrors hanging on the wall" width="1200" height="802"> Where and how you position an accent mirror will determine how well it serves its purpose. It's not just filling an empty space in the room. The art of mirror placement comes down to these four elements:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Maximize natural light: Strategically place your mirror in a space that amplifies natural light. This is especially helpful in creating the illusion of extra square footage in small rooms.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Reflect views: Use mirrors to capture and reflect the views you love most. This might be an outdoor view, a piece of wall art, or your favorite space in the home.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Create focal points: Place your accent mirror to highlight specific features you prefer, such as an entryway or a gallery wall of art. A well-placed mirror effortlessly becomes a centerpiece while highlighting nearby areas.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Expand visual space: If you're not reflecting light or a view, consider placing your mirror adjacent to an open space so that it visually makes the room feel larger.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h2>Room-by-room tips for adding an accent mirror</h2>
<img alt="Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-179506" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/big-accent-mirror-on-the-wall.jpeg" alt="Big accent mirror hanging on the wall" width="1200" height="800"> Accent mirrors serve different purposes depending on the room they're in. Here are several room-by-room tips to help you nail your placement and style.
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Living room: Choose a mirror that enhances your social space and brightens your living area. A decorative wall mirror hung above the sofa is a popular and practical choice.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Bedroom: Opt for an accent mirror that&rsquo;s stylish and functional for the bedroom. Try a mirror above your dresser and a full-length mirror beside (or in) your closet to improve accessibility.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Home office: An accent mirror in the office helps expand and brighten the space while adding a touch of style. Consider using a mirror instead of wall decor directly opposite your desk to make your office feel less confined. Or use a wall accent mirror opposite your window to enhance an outdoor view.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Dining room: Select an accent mirror for your <a alt="Go to Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/how-to-create-your-dream-dining-room">dining room</a> to brighten the space and give it a fresh update. For example, you might hang a round wall mirror opposite globe lighting to create a focal point. Hang your mirror at eye level for best results.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Bathroom: Most bathroom mirrors are placed above the sink &mdash; these mirrors are known as vanity mirrors. Pick a vanity mirror that amplifies the style of your bathroom. If you have a <a alt="Go to Reflecting style: Accent mirror ideas for every room" href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/modern-makeup-vanity">makeup vanity</a>, you might use an antique gold mirror frame to give it a glam makeover.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Entryway: Hang your entryway mirror in a spot that lets you check your appearance on the way out the door. For practicality, you might pick a rectangular wall mirror to create a waist-up view.</li>
</ul>
