Get ready to level up your living room decor with some gorgeous small living room mirror ideas!

Whether you’re into large full-length mirrors, small decorative ones, or unique shapes, I’ve got you covered. You’re sure to find some inspiration for your own living room!

Where to put a mirror in a small living room?

Mirrors are the go-to decor item for making your space look bigger, and when you place them right, they work even better.

But if you just want a mirror because it looks stylish, that’s totally fine too!

Here are some ideas on where to put them:

  • Opposite a Window: This is the best spot. A mirror here reflects natural light, making your room look brighter and more open.
  • Above the Sofa: Hanging a mirror above the sofa creates a focal point and makes the room feel taller.
  • Behind Furniture: Place a mirror behind a piece of furniture like a console table to add depth and reflect light without using extra space.
  • Mirror Gallery Wall: Add a mirror to a gallery wall to mix things up and enhance the overall decor.
  • Leaning Against a Wall: For a casual, stylish look, lean a large mirror against a wall.
  • Over the Fireplace: If you have a fireplace, a mirror above it makes a striking focal point.
  • Above a Console Table: A mirror above a console table or sideboard adds a nice decorative touch.

Now, let’s take a look at some small living room mirror ideas to give you some inspiration on how to place them in your space.

31 Stylish Small Living Room Mirror Ideas

1. Large Statement Mirror

A post shared by rachel roberts home (@rachelrobertshome_)

A large mirror like this can make your space feel more open and spacious. I’m loving the cool design here! Even if your living room is on the smaller side, you can still go for a full-length mirror.

You could just lean it against the wall. It won’t take up much space, especially if you put it in a corner behind your sofa or right beside it.

2. Pair of Mirrors

I think window mirrors have such a unique vibe. They’re perfect for filling the space above your sofa. And using two of them creates a super balanced look!

If you’re into a more minimalist vibe, an arched mirror is a great idea. There are ones you can lean against the wall. But there are also some you can hang up, like in this example

I love how she styled it with a unique end table and a big vase around the mirror. It really elevates the overall look!

4. Vintage Floor Mirror

Antique mirrors are still super popular and can fit into almost any space and style!

They come in all sorts of sizes, so you could choose a smaller one for above a console table or fireplace, if you have one.

Or, you could go for a full-length floor mirror like the one in the picture. It’ll definitely become a focal point in your living room!

Round black mirrors are always a win! They add a soft, romantic touch that’s perfect for a living room. Plus, they’re spot on if you’re going for a minimal vibe.

6. Hang it Horizontally

When you’ve got a small living room, hanging your mirror horizontally can make a big difference. It really helps open up the space!

Plus, if you’ve got some empty wall space that needs some love, a horizontal mirror will fill it up nicely. It’s the perfect trick to make your living room feel more spacious.

7. Simple Horizontal Mirror

On the other hand, if you’re after something simple and minimal, then a basic horizontal mirror like this one is perfect.

8. Cute Mirrors

Don’t these small mirrors look adorable? They’re not really for checking your reflection. But they do add a unique and stylish touch to your living room wherever you need to jazz up your walls.

9. Full-Length Grid Mirror

A grid mirror is such a cool departure from the usual rectangular floor mirrors, don’t you think? They’re not just pretty to look at.

They also add a sense of depth and dimension to your space. It’s the perfect statement piece for your living room!

10. Above Your Sideboard

If you’ve got a sideboard or console table in your living room, that’s the perfect place for a mirror! I’m loving this fancy baroque mirror. It adds a touch of elegance to the space.

11. Try Three Mirrors

Hanging three mirrors on the wall above your sofa is such a fun way to decorate. It adds visual interest, creates a balanced look, and looks really nice.

If your living room already gets plenty of natural light, adding a small mirror for decoration is a great idea.

These small vintage gold mirrors add a touch of glam and elegance to your space. And they look perfect hung above a console table.

13. Oversized Mirror

A post shared by Samantha (@samanthashome20)

Placing the mirror across from your couch can totally extend that seating area, making your space feel bigger and more open. Areal win, especially for small rooms.

And it’s not just practical. Plus, it looks really nice too, especially with an end table and vase on top, maybe with some flowers to liven things up a bit!

14. Unique Shape

A post shared by Susan Törnqvist (@susantornqvist)

I know this isn’t a small living room, but you can definitely recreate this mirror idea in a smaller space!

Just choose a uniquely shaped mirror and add some prints in different sized frames next to it on the wall. This will create visual interest and give your room a dynamic look.

If you’re into boho vibes, a rattan mirror is a good idea. It adds warmth to any space, and I love how the hanging plants on each side of the mirror make it look even more inviting.

I find teardrop mirrors have such an elegant and unique shape that they can totally serve as art pieces on their own.

And especially if you hang more than one, they create a really eye-catching focal point in your living area.

Why stick to just one mirror when you can create a whole mirror wall? Start your own mirror collection and add new ones whenever you find a unique piece. If this is your thing, it really lets your personal style shine through!

21. Layer Your Mirrors

If you want your mirror to really stand out and be the center of attention in your living room, then choosing something with a unique shape is a great idea. Like the one in the picture, for example.

25. Mirrored Furniture

A post shared by charlene (@charls_home_interior)

Here’s something you might not have considered: mirrored furniture! It’s another way to bring in more mirrors and reflect natural light, which really helps open up your space.

Instead of bulky furniture, mirrored pieces keep things feel light and airy. Think coffee tables, end tables, dressers, or even a small desk for your living room!

26. All White

A post shared by Denise (@aboutthishaus)

For a soft and airy vibe in your space, you can’t go wrong with a simple white rectangular mirror! It’s perfect if you’re into minimalism or if your living room is already white.

A white mirror blends right in and won’t overpower your space, which is great if you’re aiming for a more subtle look.

A post shared by Erika (@erikas.home)

We’ve checked out a bunch of round mirrors, but it’s always fun to find one that adds that extra special touch to your space. Like this semi-circle mirror here.

You could take two half-round mirrors and mount them on the wall with some space in between to create a cool, unique look.

It’s such an easy way to add something special to your space. I found one on Etsy if you want to check it out!

30. Wooden Framed Mirror

The frame of your mirror can really set the tone for your space. If you’re going for a natural and warm vibe, a mirror with a wooden frame is a great option!

31. Place One Next to Your TV

A post shared by Interior_by_Maria (@interior_by_maria)

You can’t see it in the image, but there’s a TV next to the mirror. So, another great spot to place your mirror is next to your TV. Check out how beautifully the mirror reflects the light, creating a cozy vibe here.

I also love how she decorated the console table with the mirror on it and the decor in front of it. Super stylish!
