Mirrors

While there's no set height for hanging a mirror above a dressing table, between five and eight inches (12 to 20 cm) above the tabletop usually works well. Smaller mirrors can be positioned a little higher than larger ones. Choose wood-framed mirrors to achieve a rustic look, or go for colourful metal frames for a modern aesthetic.

While obviously not small, large mirrors don’t have one standard size and vary according to shape and purpose. Round designs may measure about 80cm in diameter, while rectangular or overmantel styles can stretch to 100cm wide. Our selection of mirrors also includes full-length designs, which are generally taller and narrower. To get the sizing right, measure your available wall or floor space before ordering, and check the complete height, width and depth, frame included.

Tall mirrors can make a room look bigger by reflecting light and creating a greater sense of depth. Try positioning a mirror opposite or near a window to bounce natural light around the room, making the space feel brighter. Rectangular and full-length designs are particularly useful for drawing the eye upwards or across a space, while round mirrors can add openness without dominating a wall. You’ll find mirrors in round and rectangular designs in our selection.
