Along with this decorative element, mirrors have become a leading trend in home decor this season, bringing a fresh, modern vibe to any space.

The appeal of mirrors in interior design is clear. Mirrors serve a triple function in the home. They are practical for quick appearance checks before heading out, while also enhancing lighting and spatial perception. They provide a functional convenience and a visual boost that suits various daily routines.

In addition to practicality, mirrors contribute a decorative tone to any room. Thousands of shapes and sizes now exist to match every style—from minimalist to ornate. Strategically placed mirrors reflect natural light and create an impression of greater openness in a room.
Standing mirror sweeping sales from Zara Home
Among this season’s popular finds, a standing mirror with a simple oak frame stands out. Its rectangular silhouette features smooth lines and rounded corners, offering a timeless look that fits many decor schemes. The product is designed for both wall mounting and free placement on the floor, depending on the space and preference. It is priced around 100 euros and available at Zara Home stores and on the brand’s website.
The mirror, while often chosen for the bedroom, can be adapted to other rooms such as the living room or hallway, enhancing style and light wherever it is placed. The Inditex group offers dimensions of 160 x 40 x 3 cm, with a back-mounted system, anchors, and a hinge that simplify wall installation. It can also be positioned on the floor.
Feng shui, the ancient Eastern philosophy that explores energy flow in the home, views mirrors as powerful elements. When placed thoughtfully, they can help circulate positive energy throughout a space. To honor this philosophy, it is generally advised to avoid positioning a mirror directly facing the bed, since seeing one’s reflection while resting may disrupt sleep for some people.
Mirrors and feng shui: all the keys to achieving harmony in your home
Effective mirror placement is about balance. A well-considered arrangement—combining mirror size, location, and angle—can enhance daylight, reflect decorative accents, and visually enlarge the room. This approach works across bedrooms, living rooms, and entryways alike.
