17 Modern Mirrors To Brighten Up Your Hallway

If you’ve noticed that your hallway is a little dark and feels like it’s missing something, consider a mirror! It’ll brighten the space and add some aesthetic flair too.

Compared to the other rooms in your home, the hallway is often a little lacking on light. Usually, you don’t have windows in your hallway, or you might just have one, which can make it difficult to naturally brighten the room. Add in a mirror and you’ll instantly add a bit of light to the space, as well as some more decor!

Stylish Mirror Ideas For Your Hallway

1. Novara Carved Round Wall Mirror

A bold style like the large, carved wood Novara Mirror can add a lot of personality to your hallway with both its texture and overall design. Wall mounted mirrors are a great choice for narrow hallways since they don’t take up any valuable floorspace. Even in wider hallways, you might want to go with a wall mounted mirror just so that you can prioritise space for a console table or sideboard.

2. Sicily Metal Round Wall Mirror

You can also go with a more minimalistic look by choosing a simple yet refined metal mirror like the Sicily Mirror. Particularly in gold, it adds some elegance to your hallway while staying subtle. Pair it with dark or black hallway furniture for a dramatic contrast and a sophisticated aesthetic!

Generally, try to place the mirror about eight inches above your furniture, but test out a couple of different heights to see what looks right for you and your hallway. 

3. Imola Wavy Wall Mirror

If you like embracing the fun side of interior design, then this unique, wavy-edged mirror might be the one for you (and your hallway!). It has a groovy, retro feel combined with the warmth of the wood material, which makes it both playful and inviting: just right for a large hallway wall mirror!

4. Faenza Cheval Floor Mirror

You might think that you don’t really have space for a freestanding mirror in your hallway, but that isn’t necessarily the case. A slim floor mirror like the Faenza Cheval Mirror can fit alongside your hallway furniture, and would match well with other pieces of solid oak decor, especially on a wood or wood effect floor.

5. Trieste Lattice Wall Mirror

If subtlety just isn’t your thing, then make a statement in your hallway with an intricate and stunning mirror like the Trieste Mirror. It’s equal parts functional mirror and decorative art piece with its latticed frame, and it’s absolutely perfect for brightening up your hallway.

You could pair this mirror with a larger one that has a less elaborate frame, so that your hallway has two options: a more decorative mirror and a more functional one. Just make sure that they’re not facing each other, since this is against good Feng Shui practice and can make you feel a little disorientated and uneasy in your hallway.

6. Sanderson Round Panelled Wall Mirror

For a more natural hallway mirror look, consider something like the Sanderson Panelled Mirror, which is full of charm and warmth with a style that mimics a classic windowpane. It draws the eye with its whimsical look and brings a bit of depth to your hallway with its panelling.

7. Palermo Wooden Pebble Wall Mirror

Sometimes, your hallway can feel a little forgotten compared to the rest of the home, especially if you’re limited on space. After all, it’s difficult to create an aesthetic when you might not be able to physically fit much furniture in the room. That’s why funky, small hallway mirror ideas, like this Palermo Pebble Wall Mirror, can be so integral: pair it with a slim console table and some matching white decor on top.

8. Messina Round Wall Mirror

You can make a bold statement with something like the eye-catching Messina Round Mirror: dark, detailed and striking. Pair the thick, pewter toned frame with black and grey decor for a cohesive look, and place the mirror on a light coloured wall for an intriguing contrast.

9. Palermo Wooden Curved Wall Mirror

For a classy but fun hallway mirror look, try out a wavy mirror with a white wood finish, like the Palermo Mirror. It combines a stylish look with some playfulness that softens the aesthetic, and would look perfect with a real or faux houseplant nearby. 

Try to be intentional with your mirror’s placement, and specifically think about what it reflects: something natural like a plant or outdoor greenery through a window would be perfect.

10. Genoa Arched Wall Mirror

One of the best ways to style an arched wall mirror is to line it up with a piece of furniture beneath it, such as a shelf or sideboard. For the Genoa Arched Mirror, you could match the materials and keep a wooden (or wood effect) theme. Bring in some greenery to add to the natural vibes and finish off the look with some small pieces of white decor, like vases and ornaments.

11. Brescia Wooden Round Wall Mirror

If you’re going for a traditional aesthetic in your hallway, then something like the Brescia Mirror, with its classic, round shape and elegant, stone grey wood finish, could be perfect. Small details, like the finely beaded trim around the inside of the frame, elevate it and add some depth, while keeping an overall elegant style.

12. Sicily Metal Arched Wall Mirror

For a minimalist look that still has a sense of grandeur to it, you might want to try out the Sicily Arched Mirror in gold. It works with more minimalist aesthetics, such as Scandinavian inspired interior design styles, and provides a sophisticated contrast to wooden furniture and decor.

13. Turin Round Bobble Wall Mirror

Don’t be afraid to try out a hallway mirror with a lot of personality, like this Turin Mirror. The large beads around its frame give it a distinctive look without going over the top, and it works in both traditional and modern interiors.

Feature it on the wall of your entranceway to create an immediate impression on your visitors; you also get the functionality of being able to double-check how you look right before you go out! Try to choose a spot that is perpendicular to the front door rather than directly opposite it - according to Feng Shui, a mirror opposite a door can encourage good energy to leave your house instead of staying.

14. Verona Wall Mirror

Some looks never go out of style, and this rounded wall mirror with an oak wood finish is definitely a strong example of a timeless piece of furniture. Oak is such a warm, inviting finish, and the curved oval shape also gives this mirror a sense of homely comfort. It fits with modern aesthetics while still feeling grounded and calming, especially when placed above a console table or sideboard.

15. Naples Slim Arched Floor Mirror

While a full-width floor mirror might be out-of-reach for your hallway, a slim version might be able to fit into your space, like the Naples Slim Mirror. If you’ve got available floor space under the stairs, then you might want to set up the floor mirror there, keeping it tucked out of the way but still visible and functional. It’s also a great idea, because you can check your whole outfit just before you leave the house - convenient and stylish!

16. Venice Angled Frame Wall Mirror

Add some depth to your hallway with the Venice Mirror and its angled frame, bringing both light and a bit of dimension to your room. As well as brightening up your hallway with the reflected light from the mirror itself, the frame’s metallic finish has a shine of its own, creating a stunning focal point.

17. Brescia Wooden Rectangular Wall Mirror

Subtle but sophisticated, a stone grey painted wooden mirror is perfect for traditional aesthetics, especially in a rectangular shape. Pair it with walls painted in a similar, soft shade of grey and decor in dark green and blue shades for a beautiful and refined hallway aesthetic.

Ready To Brighten Up Your Hallway?

Out of all the rooms in your house, your hallway can be one of the most difficult to keep light and airy, because they often only have one window - or none at all. Mirrors can be a great solution, but it’s important to consider where you’re putting the mirror carefully, along with the type of mirror. Generally, unless you have a lot of floor space in your hallway, wall mounted mirrors are going to be the way to go. But you’ll have some more freedom in other areas of your home, like the bedroom and living room.
