You are probably familiar with the classic trick of decorating with mirrors at home to add more space to a room. Now we also want to recommend the gallery wall with mirrors. The mirror is a wall decoration that adds that little extra to an already stylish gallery wall.
Just like with a TV or other wall details, it is perfectly possible to build a gallery wall around a mirror. Combine modern posters, photographs, and candle holders with one or more mirrors and other classic works. Gather all your best wall decorations and then let them create a beautiful whole together. Forget the picture rails and instead find inspiration on how to build stylish photo walls with mirrors in this article.
Focus on the Center Point of the Gallery Wall
When building your gallery wall, you should start from the so-called center point. This could be, for example, the largest poster on the gallery wall or a mirror. Start by hanging up the mirror and then build your gallery wall upwards, downwards, and to the sides. The gallery wall is then easy to make stylish and you can smoothly expand it when more art is added.
You know there are plenty of tips on how to create stylish gallery walls on Posterton's website. Here you will find, for example, inspiration on how to place a gallery wall above the bed in the bedroom or behind the sofa in the living room. Also check out our post with useful gallery wall templates. It is always a good idea to follow a template when building a gallery wall with mirrors. Make sure to keep an even distance between all the frames so that the impression does not become too cluttered.
Gallery Wall with Mirror Sconces
We mention above that mirrors add extra dimensions and a sense of space – but think about what a collection of mirror sconces can do. The flickering flames reflected in the mirrors bring life and atmosphere to a space. Mix the mirror sconces with other atmospheric posters.
The best thing about including mirrors in the gallery wall is that you never have to worry about the mirrors taking over or becoming “too much.” Why not buy mirrors in different looks and formats – we promise a creative and delightful result.

The mirror is always a stylish interior detail that fits all rooms. Therefore, it is also a good idea to let it become part of your gallery wall. Below you will find inspiration for gallery and photo walls with mirrors that you can use when putting together your very own.

Above you see a smaller gallery wall with a round mirror. Here, the mirror and the paintings have been adapted to the limited space while keeping to the room's otherwise earthy design. You can also clearly see how the mirror and the painting below the mirror have been used as the gallery wall's focal points, after which the other paintings have been placed on the sides of these.
This is a very stylish and simple gallery wall where a few motifs and a very fitting oval mirror have been used. The mirror's frame goes well with the other dark brown interior and the black-and-white photographs in black frames. This is a good example of how nice it can be to match the mirror's frame with the frames of the paintings – but also with the rest of the interior. The mirror has also been made part of the symmetrical shape of the gallery wall.
Above you see another example of a gallery wall with a mirror where the mirror and its frame clearly match the room's other decor. All the posters have a gold frame and the room has several other gold details. Here, the mirror has also been made a clear focal point as it is roughly the same height as the gallery wall as a whole and the paintings have then been placed on the sides of this.
