Hallways are usually the last to be decorated in a home and can often be forgotten about when it comes to furniture. However, we love our hallways here at Mirror Outlet as they are a great place to display your favourite pieces and set the tone for the rest of your house. They are also a great way to open space in a corridor or to use as an alternative for artwork.
How to decorate a long narrow hallway with mirrors
Long narrow hallways are very common, as they lead to different rooms in your household, so it is vital you choose a mirror which will really compliment your hallway whilst making the most of space.
Mirrors are known for opening up small spaces, creating the illusion your room is bigger than it is in reality. Therefore, to extend your hallway, place your mirror at the opposing end to a door or window, where light will amplify your space and bounce around the hallway to get the best effect out of the area available.
If you’re primarily looking for a decorative piece for your hallway, mirrors are often a stunning addition above a small table against the wall. You will also get great use out of a hallway mirror hanging on your wall, as they are located in the perfect place to make those last-minute make-up changes or to ensure your tie is in the right place! Take inspiration from the impressive range of designs featured in the large mirror range.
Which direction should your mirror face?
Placement of your hallway mirror is not only important to maximise space, but also to ensure you don’t place it where it may reflect the feng shui.
Feng shui is a Chinese geomancy, which claims to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment. In relation to mirrors, it is said that the positive energy comes through your front door, and if a hallway mirror is placed opposing your door, the energy will be pushed back out.
So, if you’re a believer of the Chinese pseudoscience, make sure the mirror at the entrance of your home does not affect the flow of energy in your household!

Round Hallway Mirror
Circular mirrors are a fashionable statement, so if you want every corner of your house to be on trend, why not consider a round wall mirror?
Display above a side table or console by the front door for those last-minute make-up checks before you leave the house, or simply hang on the wall for décor, instead of a painting or photo.
