Glam up a hall, staircase or wall with a mirror collection that reflects light and style

Jen L'ItalienNovember 16, 2011

Houzz Contributor. Stylist, creative consultant and writer living in Maine with my family. I spend most of my days reading storybooks and running after my two toddlers, Juniper and Leo. I started out in magazines, working in the home department of Real Simple magazine and later worked as the home editor of Redbook. I love checking out the antique stores up here whenever I have free time.

How you dress up your walls and how you accessorize an outfit have a lot in common. In both cases, simplicity sometimes rules, and other times, layering in more elements adds some needed drama. We all know how a mirror makes a space look larger, more open, and adds dimension. Imagine what happens when you take three, five, seven or even a couple dozen mirrors and group them together as wall art. A high fashion look for your walls, that's for sure.

The cluster of modern circular mirrors here elevates this space from a hallway to a grand entryway. The large-scale mirrors add a sense of openness.

Tip: When you're arranging a small group of mirrors, think in odd numbers. Odd number groupings of objects are nearly always more appealing to the eye. So think 3, 5 or 7 mirrors.

Give a staircase a grander presence with a mix of mirrors on the wall leading your eye up the steps. It's more unexpected than the traditional design of arranging family photos along a staircase.

Tip: The white frames of the mirrors blend against the white walls and keep the frames from becoming a distraction. That way, the mirrors are the stars.

Amoroso Design

Circular mirrors — big and small — float behind a staircase, making an eye-catching statement. The mirrors share the same frame, which creates a pleasing arrangement to the eye.

Tip: If you're using mirrors that share the same frame, they naturally will look like they belong together. Play around with spacing the mirrors at random distances apart from each other. The randomness creates a sense of movement.

An easy way to make your bed look like the focal point of your bedroom is to add a piece of artwork above. Here, an artful arrangement of three mirrors (with interesting shaped frames) ties everything together.

Circular mirrors can look very geometric and modern, depending on how they're displayed. Here, circular mirrors of the same style — just in different sizes — are spaced out across an entire wall. The effect is dramatic, bold and modern.

Between Naps on the Porch

A mix of mirrors and framed family portraits line the staircase above a chair rail. The tightly clustered arrangement and mix of frames give this stairway an eclectic, traditional style. You feel like you're walking into the home of a collector.

This space captures a vintage rustic style. Everything seems to layer together so well — the gray walls, the large gray-framed mirrors, and the mix of terrariums on a rustic wood table. The cluster of large mirrors behind the table definitely creates a dramatic backdrop.

Incorporated

Seven mirrors with a more exotic style add intrigue to this space. The frames really draw in the eye — the mirrors have a starburst shape that I love.

Michael Abrams Interiors

This dramatic gallery wall features all rectangular-shaped mirrors in a mix of frames hung vertically and horizontally to fill in the wall. There's a noticeable symmetry because the mirrors are all spaced at the same intervals.

A grid of mirrors against the back wall of a large great room adds further dimension to the space. Here, the identical mirrors are hung without any space in between, so they look like one unified piece rather than a grouping of mirrors.

Round Seaside Mirror

If you're scouting for mirrors to hang on your wall, here are a few favorite finds that make a statement alone or mix in beautifully with other mirrors.

This distressed round mirror looks like a vintage score with its layers of paint. But it's actually made of resin (which makes it light and easy to hang).

Vintage Resin Mirrored Frames

Ten bucks buys you a collection of three turquoise resin mirrors that have a feminine, flirty style. That's a serious steal for a trio of mirrors that will instantly dress up any space.

Mosaic Wall Mirror

This sun-shaped mirror is made up of small circular mirrors surrounding one large round mirror like rays of the sun. It's an affordable mirror that will add a big dose of glam to your living space.
