There are a million and one ways to decorate your walls. From artwork to murals to patterned wallpaper, the possibilities are endless! But one of our favorite ways is to use bold accent mirrors.

We love mirrors for a variety of reasons, one being that they instantly open up a room and make the space appear bigger. But the frames are what really give mirrors their style. There are so many different colors, patterns and textures to choose from. These great looks demonstrate how a mirror can become an instant focal point in the room:

Mirrors may be a basic household staple, but they’re also great design tools. Whether you’re trying to open up a small space or just put a finishing touch on your décor, there’s a mirror that’s right for every room.

Expand Your Space

If you’re dealing with a small room, mirrors are a great way to create the illusion of a larger space. And because they reflect light, they’re also a surefire way to brighten up a room.

Power in Numbers

Multiples add more dimension and depth than a single mirror. Choose ones with thick frames for an extra-bold effect!

Accent Away

Even small mirrors can stand as a focal point of a room. Choose a design that compliments the rest of your décor – such as these antique-like versions – and accent mirrors can be a surprising way to pull the whole room together.
