How to Use Mirrors to Stage Your Home
Using mirrors to stage your home isn’t that tricky if you know what you’re doing. Think of it this way:
- Large mirrors can make rooms look much larger than they really are
- Mirrored backsplashes are unique (but tough to maintain in the cleaning department, so make sure you consider that)
- A vignette of mirrors can be a tremendous style statement

So how do you use mirrors to decorate and make your home look more appealing? Follow these tips:
- Place mirrors across from attractive scenery. If you have a beautiful bay window, a mirror directly across from it will reflect light and bring that pretty landscape right into your living space.
- Use big mirrors on small walls. The more of the wall they take up, the better (in most cases). You can use leaning mirrors where they’ll fit, or use wall-mounted mirrors where floor space is at a premium.
- Pick a style, any style. Mirrors come with all kinds of frames, from vintage and retro styles to modern and industrial ones.

For an even more powerful style statement, hang a mirror with a light-colored frame against a dark wall. The dramatic effect it creates – both from the contrasting frame and the light it reflects – will make a huge difference in your space.
