9 statement mirrors to dial up the drama on your walls
Mirrors can be so much more than a purely functional item, as proven by these decorative statement styles.
Mirrors are the hard-working but often overlooked home accessories that achieve both practical and style points for just about any room in the house. If you have a dark, narrow hallway, a large mirror will reflect the light and open up the space. For big, empty walls with a space that needs filling – above a sofa, fireplace or chest of drawers, for example – an ornately framed mirror will do the trick. As for bathrooms – an oft-forgotten room when it comes to personality and style – an interesting framed mirror can instantly elevate the whole space.
Not just functional, though: a statement mirror can work in the same way as a piece of art to instantly inject style and personality into a room, all while bouncing light flatteringly around the space and giving you a handy place to check your make-up (and take your daily outfit selfie).
Here, we’ve rounded up nine statement mirrors that will add a touch of drama to your walls, with many coming in under £100.
