why statement mirrors

Mirrors are the ultimate functional art pieces, at once useful and decorative. A unique mirror can complement your existing decor or stand on its own as a statement art piece. Consider a mirror in a nontraditional shape, or one with a frame made from unconventional materials, such as fabric, foam, or even repurposed toys and trinkets.

how to choose a statement mirror

When choosing a statement mirror, consider:

Where you want to display your mirror and how much space you want it to fill

Glass or acrylic? Acrylic mirrors tend to be lighter and can be cut in nontraditional shapes. However, they can sometimes have slight distortions, especially in larger sizes, and be harder to clean

Glass mirrors are heavier and more breakable, but can also be more true to life and easier to clean

Where and how you will store your mirror when not in use

where to buy statement mirrors

You can find unique mirrors at vintage and thrift stores and sites like eBay, Vinted, and Depop, or directly from artists’ websites and Etsy shops. Try searching for unique, funky, weird, statement, or unusual mirrors.

tips for hanging mirrors

Make sure to hang your mirror at a comfortable height if you plan to use it for gazing at your reflection, taking pictures, checking your outfit, or doing your makeup.

Use the proper hardware for your mirror weight and wall type. (hooks, D-rings, wire, or picture frame strips for smaller, lighter mirrors). For drywall, use wall anchors.

Avoid hanging mirrors in direct sunlight.
