In the right hands, mirrors can wield décor magic—expanding small rooms and brightening light-lacking spaces. We surveyed design pros, including a feng shui educator, so you can become an expert, too.
1. How large and high should a mirror be?
Bigger is better. For Rayman Boozer, owner of New York design firm Apartment 48, no mirror is too big. But if you’re not into the drama of oversize mirrors, at least rely upon the 75% rule, says Mandy Cheng. The mirror should be at least ¾ the width of the furniture it hangs above, says the Los Angeles designer. Got a 6-foot wide credenza? Get a 4.5-foot wide mirror. That said, in small, cozy rooms, a diminutive mirror often feels right. Cathie Hong, a Los Gatos, Calif., designer, hangs undersized mirrors in powder rooms. “You can use something very petite with a unique shape or finish,” she said.
