Decorating With a Floor Mirror

If you're looking for a singular element to transform a room, start shopping for a floor mirror right now. These simple additions to your decor require very little space in return for a major impact. Play with height, widen your angles, reflect your favorite furnishings or introduce a new finish to your home. Since they prop up against your wall, you can place them in your space quickly and easily. Move them around when you're ready for a new look or want to show off a new corner of your home. Try a floor mirror in your bedroom, bathroom, entryway or living room for a modern, yet classic way to expand your home's style.

Using Your Floor Mirror to Create Space

Open up the look of your home with the use of a floor mirror. While all mirrors can help create the appearance of a bigger space, one that rests on the floor imparts a greater impact. That's because these mirrors are almost always tall enough to allow you to see the entire room in them.

• Find your living room inspiration during a full redecoration of your space and add a mirror to keep your style visible from multiple angles.
• Widen the look of a tight corner or a compact room. Even if you love the coziness of a smaller space, you can help it feel expansive, yet intimate by adding a floor mirror.
• Let your entryway welcome you home with a clean space that allows you to center yourself as you put away your things in a hall tree or nearby credenza.

Floor Mirrors for Dressing

Make your routines more streamlined and comfortable with the addition of a floor mirror in your bedroom, bathroom or a guest room. These mirrors let you get a good look at everything you need to feel put together for the day while complementing gorgeous furniture and decor.

• Boost the beauty of your bedroom furniture with a full-length mirror near your dressing area or place it across from the bed for drama.
• Share the mirror with your whole family by putting it near your front door. Let everyone take a turn putting finishing touches on their looks as they put on coats, hats, scarves or grab bags for the day.
• Use your floor mirror in the bathroom to get dressed quickly out of the shower on a busy day or after a workout. This can be a prime spot for getting suited into your robe for a weekend of luxurious relaxation.

Choosing Mirror Sizes and Styles

Most floor mirrors are full length so that you can dress or see the whole room, but you still have lots of choices when it comes to size and style. Pick one that's extra-wide for more drama or find accents you love, like a keyhole-inspired ring or bamboo-look frame. Rounded corners, beveled edges or Venetian-influenced looks go with your finest furnishings.
