Mirrors are generally considered to be good feng shui, enhancing positive energy in a space as well as expanding the space and creating more light. Large mirrors in the master bedroom can help you love life more than ever before, allowing you to wake up in a bright and cheery atmosphere.
Whether you’re looking to follow best practices for good bedroom mirror feng shui or go against the grain and leave feng shui by the wayside, the bedroom mirror ideas in the list below are sure to give you inspiration for your next interior design project.
An Oval Mirror to the Side of the Bed in a Blue-toned Room
Darker-toned walls, like these blue bedroom walls, can pose a lighting challenge, particularly in smaller rooms. Hanging a large oval mirror on the far end of a wall perpendicular to the windows can help reflect the natural light and brighten the room without the need for extra light fixtures.
This layout can open up a whole world of design possibilities, allowing you to create the master bedroom or guest room of your dreams.

A Round Mirror Centered Above the Bed in a Grey and Tan Bedroom
Mirrors directly above the bed are often advised against in feng shui practices. However, this is usually due to the weight of the mirror and safety concerns regarding a heavy object hanging above you while you’re sleeping.
Of course, there is no “wrong” location to hang a mirror and these concerns can be alleviated by using the proper mounting materials and methods, such as an anchor point and mirror-specific hardware. This round mirror is the perfect addition to this grey and tan color palette, balancing the room by filling in empty wall space in a subtle way.

A Round Gold-Toned Mirror in a Sandy Colored Bedroom
Similar to the previous idea, this round mirror is an elegant way to decorate the wall above the bed. The color of the frame pairs very well with the coloring of the bedding, while the printed lantern adds a pop of fun texture to the bedroom.
The placement of the mirror in relation to the window helps to disperse sunlight throughout the room, further brightening the space.

A Frameless Round Mirror in an Earth-Toned Bedroom
This understated mirror perfectly matches the feeling of the bedroom as a whole. The wealth of florals in the room combined with the earthy color palette makes for a relaxing, slightly rustic design.
Additionally, the brown shades found throughout the bedroom are echoed in the strap used to hang the mirror, further pulling everything together. A ceiling painted with a lighter color and a matching floor can also help brighten the bedroom and create a cozy air.

Multiple Small Mirrors With Contrasting Shapes on a Ledge Above the Bed
Add multiple smaller mirrors above your bed to create even more dimension to the bedroom. These mirrors are both different shapes and different sizes, as well as positioned at different heights and angles, further enhancing their effect. This design helps to bring sunlight deeper into the room without brightening it too much and losing the dramatic effect of the dark tones.
A Small Round Mirror Above the Center of the Bed in a Unique Closet-Centric Bedroom
The location of the bed in this example creates a darker area around the bed by nature. The small round mirror brings in ambient light from the outer room and helps the niche bed area appear visually brighter. This mirror is also an appropriate size for its location, filling only a portion of the wall to avoid overcrowding the bed.
