Choose metallic and frameless mirrors that are large in size and fill a good portion of your wall space. Tiny mirrors lack the greatest impact. When it comes to decorating your walls using mirrors as wall art, size does matter. Typically, one large mirror makes a much bigger statement than several smaller mirrors. One large piece of wall art, like a mirror, becomes the focal point of almost any room.

Choose a mirror that will stay true to the overall motif in your home. Fashion in home decor is more about staging your stylish pieces than about filling every nook and cranny. Mirror styles range from simple and rustic to glamorous and dramatic, so keep your eye open for designs that fit your personal style and display them in prominent locations to complement your home decor style.

Place your decorative mirror at the correct height on the wall. If a mirror is hung too high on a wall, then the room will be off balance and seem top heavy. On the other hand, a mirror that is hung too low on a wall will cause everything to appear smaller than it really is. The best location for a mirror used for wall art is to hang it to where the center of the mirror is 5 feet from the floor. Whether your mirror is small or large won't make any difference as long as you stick with the 5-foot rule.
