Mirrors to open up and brighten any space

A mirror is one of the hardest-working pieces in a home — it bounces light around a room, makes a small space feel larger, and doubles as a piece of wall art in its own frame. Our range runs from full-length and leaner floor mirrors to round, arched and rectangular wall mirrors, in gold, black, brass, wood and slimline frames that suit everything from a period hallway to a contemporary bedroom.

Whether you're hanging a statement piece over a mantel, opening up a narrow hallway or adding a full-length mirror to a bedroom, the guidance below will help you choose the right size, shape and placement — with fast UK delivery and 30-day returns on every order.

Types of mirror and where they work

  • Full-length & floor mirrors — essential in bedrooms and dressing areas, and a lean-to floor style adds an easy, relaxed touch to a corner.
  • Round & arched mirrors — soft shapes that flatter a mantel, console or hallway and break up boxy rooms full of straight lines.
  • Rectangular & landscape mirrors — classic over a sideboard or fireplace, hung tall to add height or wide to widen a space.
  • Overmantel & statement mirrors — larger framed pieces designed to be the focal point above a fireplace or bed.

Choosing the right size

Scale makes all the difference. Above a mantel, sideboard or console, choose a mirror around two-thirds the width of the furniture below it so it looks anchored rather than lost. Hang wall mirrors so the centre sits at roughly eye level — about 145 to 150cm from the floor — and leave a hand's width of clear wall around a piece so it can breathe. For a hallway or small room, a larger mirror generally works harder than a small one, reflecting more light and depth. In dressing areas, a full-length mirror ideally starts no higher than mid-thigh so you can see a whole outfit.

Using mirrors to add light and space

Placement is where a mirror really earns its keep. Hang one opposite or adjacent to a window and it will bounce daylight deep into the room and make the space feel brighter and larger. Position a mirror to reflect something worth seeing — a garden view, a pretty lamp or an interesting corner — rather than a blank wall or clutter. In a narrow hallway, a mirror instantly relieves the tunnel effect, and above a console it makes a practical spot for a last check before you leave.

Frames, finishes and hanging

The frame ties a mirror to your scheme. Gold, brass and antique-tone frames add warmth and a touch of glamour; black and metal frames feel crisp and contemporary; wood and rattan frames bring natural texture to a relaxed room; and frameless or slimline mirrors keep things clean and understated. When hanging, always fix to the wall with fixings suited to your wall type and the mirror's weight, and use two points for larger pieces so they sit level and secure. Heavy mirrors are best anchored into a stud or with proper wall plugs.

Mirrors — frequently asked questions

What size mirror should I hang above a console or fireplace?

Choose a mirror around two-thirds the width of the furniture below it, so it looks anchored and in proportion. Leave a little clear wall around the frame, and centre it over the piece rather than the whole wall.

How high should I hang a mirror?

Hang wall mirrors so the centre sits at roughly eye level, about 145 to 150cm from the floor. Above furniture, allow a comfortable gap of around 15 to 20cm between the top of the piece and the bottom of the mirror.

Do mirrors really make a room look bigger?

Yes. A well-placed mirror reflects light and view, adding a sense of depth. Hang one opposite or beside a window to bounce daylight around, and position it to reflect something attractive rather than clutter or a blank wall.

What shape of mirror should I choose?

Round and arched mirrors soften rooms full of straight lines and suit mantels and consoles, while rectangular mirrors add height when hung tall or width when hung landscape. Full-length mirrors are best for bedrooms and dressing areas.

How do I hang a heavy mirror securely?

Use fixings rated for the mirror weight and your wall type, and anchor larger pieces into a stud or with proper wall plugs. Fixing at two points helps a big mirror sit level and stay secure over time.

Do you deliver mirrors safely, and can I return them?

Yes. Every mirror is carefully packed for UK delivery and covered by our 30-day returns policy, so you can order with confidence.
