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...

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.
