What about one that mimics a window?

pennydesign would thst style look ok in this hall? I'd love it to look modern

That's really tiny...

what's really tiny ?

Get some painters tape and put it up on the wall to see what you think for size. You need a mirror that leaves at least 2-3 inches from each side of the wall. You can be more flexible with height, but I would try to keep the top below the top frame of the door, and the bottom somewhere around door handle height. You can try the longer one you're considering if the width is okay. ( I think penny design was saying the current art you have in the hall is really tiny. )

calidesign thank you for the suggestion! I'm going to try the larger one!

Mirror + crystal fixture at end of "hall" to closet.

I found this:

DO use mirrors in narrow hallways and staircases.

“A smaller, horizontal mirror works in a narrow hallway or staircase,” says Deleon. This will act to widen the space, which creates a better flow from room to room.

Personally, I would use a large round mirror like is shown in an above post.

Or have you thought of a large wall, floor, or leaner mirror? Both of my girls have them in their homes. They just sit on the floor. I really like how it opened up their spaces.

These are random examples from Google

Yes, thanks cali :) I was referring to the existing mirror as being too small.

And Jeffrey above is showing a picture of what I was talking about...a fabulous light fixture that will be reflected in the mirror that you can see from the lower level..

ETA I'm not always getting notifications here...like a lot of people.

thank you everyone
I love these suggestions. I like the idea of a leaning mirror but am hoping I can stick it on the wall instead. will this give off a different look if it's on the wall? If I go with a full length mirror how low should I hang it? where should the bottom end?

I think you need another light vs mirror at the end of the hall - if there is an outlet on that wall do a pretty, light color painting (tall) or some type of interesting piece with an art light over it so it pulls you in.

Some ideas. I would consider stacking a set of mirrors or other decor like below. I would think you need to keep it somewhat narrow to look right and not be too busy. although, I'm partial to art there also...

A mirror hung on the wall at about the same height as my first example will give you about the same view as a leaning mirror. Normally, a leaning mirror can also be hung. Look on the back to make sure. A leaning mirror will give you a tad bit more of a ceiling view (which can be undesirable unless there is something pretty to reflect off of it. The suggestion of a pretty hanging light fixture is excellent!)

I also like the first idea from kulrn . Either horizontal mirrors in rectangle or square shapes or artwork.

hi everyone.. going to pick up one tonight. with our honey oak floors and beige walls which frame should I go for.???

both full sized.

The second frame that looks like linen.

calidesign should I go light or dark

Pick whatever matches... what is the hardware on lamps/color of picture frame? They should be uniform I would think

all light.

I just dont want it to look cheap.

It's not cheap, but it might be a little bit boring with no table or chandelier to give us all something else to look at...

I do prefer the hexagon mirrors that kulrn shows...

The light colored one in the second photo. You don't want the frame standing out with a lot of contrast if you're using a full sized mirror.

okay.. it is quite wide. is that okay with the wall barely showing on either side of it

they also have a black frame in the same mirror.... should I use black? I heard every room needs a bit of black!!

bump

Okay well this isn't a room it's a hall.

I really think the lighter one. It will be softer...

pennydeisgn okay!

Yes, the lighter one.

thanks everyone! if getting a full length mirror is the wider the better for it for the back wall?

a couple more photos for you all!

You obviously want a full length full width mirror, so get one and try it. It looks like you found one at Home Goods, so you can return it if you don't like it. You had plenty of advice to do something else in the space, but you're stuck on the full mirror. Try it and see if like it yourself. If you don't you can take it back and consider all the other options.

what do you guys think?? how high should I hang it. quite wide

Center it on the wall, and for height, center it with the adjacent doorway - which looks like about a foot from the floor trim? Prop it up on a box or some cushions and look at it from below to make sure it gives you the look you wanted.

I think it’s important to remember that if you hang a large mirror at the end of the hallway, when you view it from the lower level it will be reflecting the upper third of the wall space above the staircase and a portion of the ceiling. Not a particularly desirable view.

That's why I'm still pushing for an amazing light fixture :)

calidesign it should be in line with the top of the door trim? or should it be lower? I do like the mirror. I like the colour of frame and like the way it looks in the space just want to know how high it should be ?

Lower than the top of the door trim. Are the doors in the hall the same height? I'm looking at the doorway to the right of the back wall. The mirror should be centered with the height of that door - so the same amount of space between the top of the baseboard to the bottom of the mirror as from the top of the mirror to the top of that doorway molding.

calidesign yes all doors are same height

You did good!

Now, lets talk about sparkly chandeliers that will you will see the reflection from the bottom of the stairs .... :)

For a full length mirror, the color, size, and style are all good. Good placement on the wall.

thank you both so much!!! I really like it

Have you thoight about reflective wallpapers in this space?

More things can be added to increase the interior look of the house.

please share HU!

Plus art. You need some art on the wall....

Cc- Take a photo from the lower level.

I agree about the hanging light fixture and art work.
