A curved mirror above a little chest can be the detail that makes a room click. I’ve gathered UK options for different awkward spots: a narrow wall, a dressing corner, a hallway and somewhere that can take a full-length leaner. I like the mix of simp...

A Mirror for Every Corner
A Mirror for Every Corner
Choose the place first: a light-catching wall, a narrow gap or a dressing surface. These are alternatives, not ten mirrors to buy for one room.
The arch brings a softer line above a boxy chest or console. I’d keep the surface below fairly simple so that lovely curve does the work. Measure the width against your furniture first.
Essentials Arched Overmantel Wall Mirror
A simple circle is a lovely contrast to straight shelves and square furniture. This is the one I’d consider for an understated dressing spot, with a little lamp off to one side.
Essentials Round Wall Mirror
For a bedroom that needs a full outfit check, a straightforward wall-mounted rectangle keeps the floor clear. Check the height, chosen frame colour and suitable wall fixings.
Essentials Rectangle Full Length Wall Mirror
A full-length leaner gives a room a focal point as well as a useful reflection. It needs more floor space than a wall mirror, and the supplied anti-tip kit must be fitted.
Apartment Arched Leaner Mirror
The little shelf gives keys or bathroom essentials somewhere to land. A practical choice when a separate shelf feels too much; check the depth, weight and wall fixings.

Seagrass Round Wall Mirror
A small hanging mirror is an easy way to fill a narrow gap without another picture frame. The chain is part of the look; check the mirror size and secure the hook for its weight.
Round Hanging Chain Wall Mirror
Useful when you want a mirror on a desk or dressing table rather than drilling the wall. Its base takes up surface space, so measure the spot you normally leave for daily essentials.
