Mirrors have a special appeal and are easy to install, no matter what the size or shape of your home. These decor accents are not only functional, but can also be used as art. They can bounce light in a room and change the perception. Mirrors can be used to heighten small spaces, make smaller rooms appear larger or hide architectural flaws.
Here are 20 Living Room Mirror Ideas that will transform any room from dull to stunning.
Take a panoramic view
Hang a convex mirror on an unobstructed wall to get a 360-degree view of your room. This metallic finish in dotted dots is a great match for the shades of blue and navy in this room.

Lean a mirror against your wall
You can use a floor mirror if you cannot mount an oversized wall mirror. This mirror fills almost half of the wall. It brightens this living room, and reflects light coming from the window adjacent. This mirror makes the space appear bigger and brighter (with no mounting required).

Mantel Mirror – How to Layer a Mirror
If you feel that leaning floor-length mirrors are too large for your room, place a round, decorative mirror behind a print and group it with ceramics or sculptures above your fireplace. This creates a small, inviting vignette that adds texture and contrast to the living room.

Let It Be Pretty
A mirror’s primary purpose is not to reflect light or elongate an area, but to enhance the beauty of a room. A mirror is a timeless piece that can transform a blank wall. We love the combination of large circular mirror and leaf motif wallpaper in this living room.

Create a focal point
Place a large mirror that has a design on it directly over your fireplace. This creates a focal point that is glamorous. Focus points are important because they prevent your room from looking disjointed and scattered. This piece will work with any seasonal changes.

Bring It Outdoors

Create a background view with mirrors
Try using two mirrors instead of one on an open wall if you do not want a mirror to be the focal point of your room but still wish to incorporate this feature into your living space. It creates a striking background while not taking away from other design elements.

Here, the same idea is used but with a more muted color scheme. This living room idea uses a rectangular version placed horizontally above the couch. This design trick is a coincidence that mimics the wood casing on the glass doors. It creates an illusion of matching windows.

Console Mirror Combo
Add a console to your couch if you have enough space. You can also add accessories and a large mirror for a stunning view.
To achieve the correct scale, place your mirror at a distance of 1/2 to 3/4 of the table’s width (and the bottom corner should be placed 6 inches above the table).
