Decorating with mirrors: enlarge and enhance every room
This article is also available in French: Décorer avec des miroirs : agrandir et sublimer chaque pièce
The mirror is the decorator's secret weapon. It doubles light, enlarges space, creates depth, and adds a strong decorative touch. Knowing how to place it is an art that transforms any interior.
Facing a window: doubling the light
A mirror placed facing a window reflects all the natural light into the room. The effect is spectacular: the room appears twice as bright. This is the number one trick for dark, north-facing rooms.
On the floor: the illusion of depth
A large mirror placed on the floor and slightly tilted against a wall creates a striking illusion of depth. It gives the impression that the room continues beyond the wall. The larger the mirror, the more pronounced the effect.

The round mirror is a timeless classic. Above a console, fireplace, or sink, it softens lines and draws the eye. The organic mirror with irregular contours is the star of 2026. The arched mirror, shaped like a medieval window, adds architectural character.

Frequently asked questions
Where should you not place a mirror?
Avoid placing a mirror facing a cluttered area (it would double the mess), facing the bed (due to feng shui beliefs and disturbing reflections at night), or facing an entrance door (reflects energy back outside according to feng shui).
One large mirror or several small ones?
A single large mirror has more impact than a collection of small ones. If you choose several mirrors, group them like a gallery wall for a unified effect.
How to securely hang a heavy mirror?
Use expansion anchors (Molly bolts) for drywall and standard anchors for concrete. Use T-brackets. For mirrors weighing more than 20 kg, call in a professional.
