We all know that mirrors are useful for getting dressed, flossing, and doing your makeup — basically any activity that requires checking yourself out. And they are of course imperative for getting that perfect mirror selfie. But a mirror can also make small spaces feel larger, which is why the interior designers and other cool people we talked to say they often use them simply as décor, too. “I use mirrors all over my own small apartment,” says Laura Fenton, author of forthcoming book The Little Book of Living Small. “A huge, $20-from-Craigslist mirror makes my entryway feel larger than it really is.”
As Fenton points out, decorative mirrors can be as affordable as they are useful. But they can also be investment pieces that double as works of art (just ask anyone who owns an Ultrafragola). So to help you find the best one for your space, we asked her and 11 other interior-design-minded folks to point us to their favorite eye-catching (and light-catching) decorative mirrors on the market. Read on for their suggestions, which range from delightful picks under $100 to special, splurge-worthy mirrors you’ll want to stare at from any angle.
Washroom Vanity Mirror Amber Uhl, a designer with online interior-design service Havenly, recommends this cheeky mirror in the shape of an eye that’s handcrafted in Peru with engineered wood. She calls it a great “accent” piece: “Use this mirror to add an interesting pop to a gallery wall, style it with a chair and a tall plant to complete an empty corner, or add it to that skinny wall in your home that always felt like it needed something,” she suggests.
