12 Bedroom Mirror Ideas To Brighten Up Your Room

If your bedroom feels a little cramped and dim, then these bedroom mirror ideas could be exactly what you need to add some light and maximise the space you have!

Choosing where to put a mirror in your bedroom is more important than it might first sound, because a well placed mirror can really open up your space and give even a small bedroom more of a spacious feel. 

But there are also some easy decor mistakes you can make with bedroom mirrors, since every detail matters, from where it’s positioned to the style of the frame. Check out some of our guidance and ideas for mirrors to make sure you’re getting the most out of having a bedroom mirror.

1. Genoa Wooden Round Wall Mirror

Putting a mirror on your bedroom wall above a chest of drawers is an excellent idea as it’s both stylish and practical. It’s handy for when you’re getting dressed in the morning, and it also adds some extra depth to the otherwise empty area above the chest of drawers. 

Make sure that you’re prioritising cohesion with both furnishings by matching their style. For example, combining the 3D wooden texture of the Genoa Wooden Round Wall Mirror’s frame with the oak wood finish of the Eden Wooden 6 Drawer Chest results in a cosy, rustic look.

2. Brescia Wooden Round Wall Mirror

But as well as the all-important question of ‘where’ to put your bedroom mirror, you also have to consider how it looks, and how it will fit with your existing bedroom decor. This Brescia Wooden Round Wall Mirror has an elegant and timeless feel with its stunningly detailed, round frame, and would look incredible when paired with some additional stone grey decor accents around your bedroom.

3. Brescia Wooden Rectangular Wall Mirror

Alternatively, the Brescia Wooden Rectangular Wall Mirror offers the same sophisticated style as the circular option, with the added refined edge of its sharp corners and straight lines. It may seem like a small difference, but consider the other furnishings in your bedroom.

If you’ve gone with a sleek modern look that prioritises more boxy shapes, then a mirror with curved edges just won’t quite fit in. However, a rectangular mirror would add to that sharp aesthetic and fit perfectly with your bedroom’s vibes.

4. Verona Solid Wood Round Wall Mirror

A classic bedroom mirror idea is to have your mirror on the wall above your bed, but there are a few important caveats to consider. To keep with Feng Shui best practices, it’s advised not to have a mirror facing a door, so that the good energy inside your space isn’t reflected out through the doorway. Often, beds are placed facing the bedroom door, so in that case, a mirror above the bed should be avoided.

Another concern that brings together both atmosphere and the practical side of decor is the weight of the mirror and how securely attached to the wall it is. The psychological stress of having something rather large and heavy hanging over your head while you sleep can be enough to consider switching your bedroom mirror to a different placement.

However, placing a lightweight and securely fastened mirror above a bed that doesn’t face a doorway can boost the brightness in your bedroom and does bring together an elegant and classy look.

5. Sanderson Round Panelled Wall Mirror

If you’re struggling with how to best make use of your windows to brighten up your bedroom, then consider placing a mirror on an adjoining wall so that it can reflect some of that light. However, a mirror opposite a window can cause a harsh glare under direct sunlight, so make sure it’s perpendicular to your bedroom window instead. 

Plus, a panelled mirror like this Sanderson Round Panelled Wall Mirror can elevate your bedroom’s style with the added detailing providing some extra depth to your decor.

6. Palermo Wooden Pebble Wall Mirror

A mirror like the Palermo Wooden Pebble Wall Mirror is perfect for a light-hearted touch with its playful, irregular frame and white colour. Paired with a console table, it has an overall more subtle look than a mirror matched with a chest of drawers, while still feeling cohesive and adding style to your space.

7. Imola Wavy Edge Wall Mirror

While having a mirror opposite your bedroom door is generally not the best idea, having a mirror on the wall beside your door can be a good choice to open up your bedroom. This is also an ideal placement for a longer mirror, such as the Imola Wavy Edge Wall Mirror or even a full-length mirror, to take advantage of your wall space.

8. Sicily Metal Round Wall Mirror

A slim, elegant mirror like the Sicily Metal Round Wall Mirror can add a touch of class to your bedroom, and, when placed above a chest of drawers, can bring some extra presence and enrich the space. Some complementary ornaments or a table lamp can be good additions to the top of the chest of drawers, but just make sure that you’re not crowding the mirror with tall decorations that reduce its impact.

9. Novara Carved Round Wall Mirror

Bedroom mirrors can complement an overall aesthetic and contribute to a cohesive look, but, as the Novara Carved Round Wall Mirror proves, they can also make quite the style statement on their own. Don’t be afraid to include an ornate mirror as a focal point in your bedroom, potentially positioned in a spot that is a little too awkward for furniture. Then, you can maximise the usage of your bedroom space while also elevating its overall aesthetic.

10. Turin Round Bobble Wall Mirror

This Turin Round Bobble Wall Mirror would be the perfect addition to a bedroom with a modern style, providing a dramatic contrast against white or lightly coloured walls. Its distinctive beaded edge both draws the eye and has a sophisticated feel to it, and it’s just the right size to add some light and the impression of space to your bedroom.

11. Faenza Cheval Floor Mirror

But if a wall-mounted mirror isn’t quite right for your space, then a full-length floor mirror might be a better idea. It’s incredibly practical for checking your outfit before you go out, and so would fit well next to your wardrobe or other clothes storage. Plus, if you’re a little tight on bedroom space, choosing a mirror like the Faenza Cheval Floor Mirror with an adjustable stand would be a practical option.

12. Palermo Wooden Curved Floor Mirror

To completely maximise the amount of light that you’re bringing into your bedroom, go with a full-length floor mirror positioned perpendicular to your window, especially if it’s a larger window. This setup will reflect the most sunlight and is the most effective bedroom mirror idea for brightening up your room.

Some floor mirrors, such as the Palermo Wooden Curved Floor Mirror, can bring more of a casual and fun vibe to your bedroom. Its curvy white frame has a playful style reminiscent of a fluffy cloud, and will certainly add some character to your bedroom.
