Mirrors in the interior of the hallway (61 photos): how to hang and arrange

For the hallway, a mirror is the same as for a bedroom, a bed and other furniture are a necessary attribute. It is it that escorts us and shows whether everything is in order with the outfit when we leave the house. And it also meets us, along with the front door, when we are tired we come home from work or from a walk. And if you arrange the mirror in the hallway correctly - combine it with a shelf or place lamps on the frame - it will not only be a functional piece of furniture, but also be a stylish design. Even a small entrance hall, if there is a trellis, a mirror in a wenge frame, original mirrors with a shelf hang, stylish lamps look spacious and stylish.

Difficulties

It often happens that choosing the right mirror for the entrance hall is quite a difficult task. Why:

  • Most hallways have little free space. Therefore, it is very important to properly arrange it.
  • Often, because of the location of the front door, it is difficult to plan the design of the entrance.
  • In a limited space, it is necessary to fit another piece of furniture: a closet, hang hangers with a shelf for hats, cabinets for shoes, an ottoman or a banquet to sit on. Sometimes you get complete chaos instead of a beautiful room.
  • Poor lighting. Because of this, many types and options of mirrors do not look in the room: for example, trellis or oval mirrors, options with a stand, floor.
  • Often in our apartments extremely uncomfortable layout of apartments in general and the design of hallways in particular. Sometimes it is difficult to find a place to hang a mirror.
  • Not enough money to bring to life your ideas of how the beautiful decor of the hallway should look. I would like expensive lamps, and a mirror in a wenge frame, and excellent doors, and decorate the interior with beautiful shelves.

In all these cases, a well-chosen wall mirror in a baguette or dressing table can solve the problem. It can be both inexpensive and stylish, visually expand the corridor, and inserted into the cabinet doors, for example, will not take any place at all. Therefore, choosing a suitable mirror should pay a little attention. And if you decorate the decor correctly - choose the right lighting, hang beautiful lamps, the decor of the front door from wenge, elegant trellis - it will delight you with an updated and stylish look of the hallway.

What is the mirror in the hall for?

Consider what the main functional loads are carried by a mirror located in the very first room of an apartment or house:

  • A full-length mirror, located opposite the front door, provides a decent look to its owners, indicating to them the shortcomings of the suit before leaving the house.
  • The hallway mirror in an elegant frame, such as wenge or baguette, serves as a stylish element of the interior. The white entrance hall especially benefits from this.
  • Options with a mirror help to expand the room, if the hallway is small, due to a visual increase in space twice.
  • The design with a mirror brings more light into the hallway. A light-filled design is what you get when using this piece of furniture.

How to navigate the variety of mirrors offered by stores. Advice:

  • It is advisable to purchase a “full-length” mirror, mounted, wall or trellis, if it is extremely important for you to make sure that the selected ensemble of clothes is perfect before leaving home. If the work involves a strict dress code or just like to dress up, look stylish and harmonious, then you can not do without such a model. It should be large, have additional lighting, it is better to hang it opposite the front door. Ideas where there is a stylish hanger with shelves, elegant comfortable furniture, a full-length dressing table, lamps that illuminate the dark corridor will also be useful to you.
  • If you hang a mirror in a medium-sized frame (about 1.5 meters) and above, it will be able to visually stretch the room vertically, to make the ceiling higher. It looks beautiful if the hallway is white.
  • If you prefer stylish grace, then choose a small hanging mirror for the hallway opposite the door, in which you can see yourself about to the waist. As a rule, such models are beautifully decorated with various decor, forged, wooden, carved. They can be a wonderful element of the interior of the hallway, as well as an elegant hanger and stylish lamps. Often they are also made with additional lighting, which gives the room coziness. Such a mirror in the hallway in Feng Shui will decorate any room.
  • If there is no desire to allocate a separate place for the mirror on the wall or floor, then design ideas suggest buying a cabinet with glass doors - in whole or in part. You can also put a dressing table with functional shelves.

Now in furniture stores you can choose a model of any size, type and price. There is a frame from wenge, in a baguette, a pier glass, trellis, additional lighting and any decor. You can choose between wall, hinged, floor or built-in options, and even a swivel design. The latter are interesting in that they can be rotated at the angle that is needed at the moment.

Hallway Design

In accordance with the style in which the whole hallway or corridor is designed, what kind of furniture is, its location, and you need to choose the appropriate model. Hi-tech is, rococo or just an ordinary hallway without any complaints. In the latter case, it will look absurdly fancy large baroque pier glass with carved curls. A better fit is a simple white model without frills, a laconic version.

Mirror Shape:

  • Round. It is good to place it in a small hallway.
  • Oval. Looks great in a fairly spacious room. It can be very stylish and serve as an elegant element of the interior. A sufficient height will expand the narrow corridor, especially if you place it opposite the front door.
  • A square wall or a hanging mirror in a baguette will wonderfully fit a minimalist style, and if only one man lives in the apartment. In full growth, such options do not exist. Some ideas suggest decorating the corridor with two small square mirrors. The white entrance hall will be in perfect harmony with this form.
  • The rectangular shape is a classic. Suitable for any room, looks great. In this case, the hanger, door decor and furniture should also be classic, for example, from wenge.
  • Carved trellis should be chosen with caution. The risk is great not to fit into the surrounding background of the hallway. Therefore, if such a form is not provided for by your individual design, it is better not to risk it and stop at a simpler option. It requires special lighting.
  • There are models in the form of several stripes - straight or wavy. Look good only in spacious hallways. A small corridor and dim lighting are not suitable for them. You can choose a beautiful frame to the mirror or install without it.

The use of mirrors in the hallway for planning

  • The full-length model also looks great in the corridor also because it will never “clog” or weight the interior.Always ideas with mirrors expand the space, giving it lightness and airiness. The white hallway will become even brighter and cleaner.
  • A properly selected wall mirror in a frame or baguette, installed opposite the door, can make the room stylish, add sophistication and chic to it.
  • The mirror in the interior of the hallway can hide flaws and defects on the wall covering.
  • If small narrow beams of light from the living room or kitchen fall onto the mirror in the hallway and the wall next to it, then in this case the corridor will be illuminated with another additional natural light source, giving it softness and transparency.

Backlit

If your corridor is dark or you just want to make it more comfortable, light and large, choose a dressing table or a hinged mirror with special lighting. What are the benefits:

  • Since our corridors are most often devoid of windows, they dispense with natural light. And one ceiling lamp is not able to solve the problem. Therefore, built-in models in which a full-height shape with backlight can be a wonderful solution to the problem of darkness. Light furniture, elegant hanger, proper lighting, location opposite the door will also help.
  • Most often, such options have a very beautiful decor, and by themselves will become a stylish element of the interior.
  • In a sense, they add fabulousness and magic to space. Their effect can be compared with the influence of candles. The backlight has a very soft, warm, diffused glow.
  • In a small hallway, ideas with such lighting will make the corridor larger and more comfortable.
