Mirrors are essential for everyday personal care, like brushing teeth, shaving, doing makeup, getting dressed, and making sure you look like an overall presentable human being before leaving the house. But mirrors aren't just for catching your own reflection. The right wall mirror can add light, dimension, symmetry and a decorative element to any space, but if you're going for something a bit more edgy, fun or whimsical than the average wall mirror, this list is for you.

A funky wall mirror can be more of a statement or accent piece than the typical wall mirror while still serving its purpose. It can double as a piece of art, so when you buy one, you're investing in both function and home decor.

What to Consider When Buying a Funky Wall Mirror

Size:‌ Before you settle on a mirror, you should first measure the wall space. A large mirror generally looks better on a wall with a lot of empty space, while a small mirror can look good on a wall with other hanging decor. A small mirror on a large, empty wall can look insignificant and out of place.

Shape:‌ Mirrors come in a variety of shapes, including squares, rectangles, triangles, circles and even funkier irregular shapes. If your home decor is already busy and colorful, you might want to go with a simpler frame that doesn't detract from your existing decor. Simple frames can still be funky and fun. If you want a mirror that'll add some pizzazz and double as a full-blown art installation, irregular shapes or mirrors with large and loud frames are a great choice. Several small mirrors grouped together can work well on a gallery wall.

Function:‌ Mirrors have different functions, so think about what you intend to use your mirror for before you start your search. Do you want a full-length mirror so you can see your head-to-toe outfit; a smaller mirror for the bathroom so you can apply makeup, do your hair, etc.; or do you intend to hang more of a decorative mirror on the living room wall where the mirror part isn't as important as the design?

Price:‌ The price of wall mirrors can range from under $100 to upwards of $1,000 or more. If you don't want to spend a lot, be sure to read reviews to make sure the glass is high quality, otherwise, deformities can make it look cheap.
