Mirror Placement Visual Guide

Living Room

• Hang mirrors across from windows to reflect natural light
• Keep 6–8 inches of space between mirror and top of sofa or console
• Use large mirrors to make small living rooms appear more spacious

Bedroom

• Use full-length mirrors near wardrobes or closets
• Above headboards or nightstands, keep the center at ~60 inches
• Consider mirrored closet doors to save wall space

Bathroom

• Center mirror above sink, usually 5–10 inches above the faucet
• Use proportionate mirror size (not wider than the vanity)
• For double sinks, consider one large mirror or two separate mirrors

Entryway

• Hang mirrors above console tables for a welcoming look
• Add wall sconces or lights beside mirrors for symmetry
• Use a mirror with a shelf for keys and small items

Eye-Level Rule: Center mirror at approx. 57–60 inches from the floor.

Furniture Rule: Keep 6–10 inches above furniture tops (console, sofa, dresser).

Proportion Rule: Mirror should be 2/3 the width of the furniture below it.

Lighting Rule: Place mirrors to reflect light sources for brighter spaces.
