Best Entryway Mirror Ideas for 2023

This blog post is all about entryway mirrors.

Entryways are one of my favorite things to design because it’s the first thing you’ll see once you enter. And if you like what you see once you enter, then it will be eye candy all the way. The entryway is the point of transition from outside to inside. There need to be some visual cues along with a style viewpoint.

Let’s start this convo with a quick tip;
Mirrors can change the dynamic of any space. Mirrors come in so many shapes, forms, sizes, materials, and colors with beautiful reflections, giving a gorgeous ambiance wherever you may choose to place them.

There is no wrong or right when it comes to the placement of a mirror or the number of mirrors used in space. Hey, more is more.

Here is an example of a solid wood mirror. This a great example of entryway decor. This mirror is perfect for modern styles. if you want a full-length mirror that leads to your living room.

Entry Mirrors Here, Mirrors There, Mirrors Everywhere !!

A decorative mirror for the wall can be placed everywhere. Mirrors definitely serve a multi-purpose. Functionality is one option, like a vanity mirror. Ornamentation and energy give you the ability to strategically use mirrors to define and create the best space. They reflect light and bring space to life by making it brighter and making the room appear larger.

A smaller mirror may remind you of a bathroom mirror or a bathroom vanity, but they look great in entryways too. Imagine you have a table against the wall with a mirror above it. I think it will be more noticeable than a picture or artwork.

Entry Mirror placement ideas

Adding a Mirror is a very inexpensive way to enhance your entryway. And this will work for a large house or even if you have a small entryway.

First off mirrors do not discriminate so if your space is small or large a major and key placement area is the entryway Why? Because it is a place for coming and going, a very high traffic area.

Trust me, you need that final check before you head out the door and if your fit is legit or your hair is just where it needs to be, need I say more? Selfie, me, please.

A mirror in the entryway really can be purposeful and is usually well appreciated don’t forget the drama..it will bring
to the space.

Now, entryway mirrors can sometimes be a tricky placement because the entryway can have many factors like height, length, width and etc. for Example; a tall entryway may need a tall and/or very oversized mirror, but a small entryway may just need a larger mirror.

What about if you do not have a designated entryway, so you may need to create one? This can definitely be achieved by placing the best mirror for that area or space. So this may take a little planning. Things to keep in mind; Measure the space, which will give you an idea of what shape and size of mirror you may need.

BE BOLD, this will be the first thing you and/or your guest will see as they enter your space, so rock this entryway space and make it the best ever. Any shape, size, or color of a mirror will always elevate any area where it’s placed, there is no right or wrong. Just be sure that the placement makes sense and that you love it.

As you know there are so many different types of mirrors. I find that these 3 mirrors work best in any space but especially the entryway. Hanging mirrors are common styles that you see in entryways.

1. Floor Mirror
   A floor mirror will make any small space feel and look larger. Your eyes will be drawn to the mirror which will reflect the space, giving the illusion of a much grander area. Floor mirrors in any shape or size provide a view from head to toe, so they are ideal and practical for entryway placement. A floor mirror is also a great space filler. So if you have a big empty space in the entryway, place a floor mirror. It will definitely fill a big chunk of that space, by using useful decor such as
   a floor mirror.
2. Round Mirror
   A round mirror captures light in such an amazing way. What I love about round mirrors is that they bring clarity and precision to your space. A round mirror has a purpose: you automatically know why it’s there. Show me a round mirror, that doesn’t command your attention. The great thing about placing a round mirror in the entryway is that it will become the statement piece of that area demanding
   every look and vent gaze.
3. Rectangular Mirror
   A rectangular mirror, let’s just say I’m totally obsessed. Why? Because rectangular mirrors can be used vertically or horizontally, it’s like 2 mirrors in 1 and I am all the way here for it. Rectangular mirrors will ground and bring stability
   to the entryway. A rectangular mirror looks amazing with a console table underneath it, as part of a gallery installation in the entryway, or just by itself. If there’s any doubt, rectangular mirror it out, trust me you won’t regret it.

Mirrors are one of the best functional decor pieces to use in any space but in the entryway a mirror will create, define and identify the space.

I will love to see what you’ve done with your entryway and what mirror you’ve decided to go with.
