7 Hallway Mirror Ideas That Are Equal Parts Functional and Fun

No matter your style, hanging mirrors will elevate your interior design, create a sense of balance and warmth, and make guests feel welcome. And these are just a few of the many reasons neglected spaces like small hallways and entryways deserve a good mirror. By adding this simple wall accent, you can make any corridor — whether it opens to a living room or front door — look and feel expensive and brighter.

Additionally, hallway mirrors are perfect for creating the illusion of more space and serving as interesting, visually captivating centerpieces around which you can create a unique and highly personal design.

Here are seven decorative wall mirror ideas to help you pull together a hall that's equal parts fun and functional.

Go for hallway decoration that looks expensive and luxe by adding glam touches like this round wall mirror from CB2.

At 32 inches, the addition, which takes the place of wall art, pulls its design cues from African murals with opalescent ivory, gray bone enclosed with a thin brass band.
