No bathroom is complete without a mirror, but what if you want to go beyond a mirror’s functional aspect and use it as a design element?
We sometimes include affiliate links and curated AI content to highlight top design styles.
Before you do that, you’ll need to know how to decorate the bathroom wall with mirrors.
There are several ways to decorate your bathroom with mirrors. Below are some great ideas and tips to transform your space.
Why Mirrors?
Mirrors are perfect for bathrooms. Here’s why you should add them to your bathroom walls:
- Mirrors brighten up the room by reflecting light, great for dimly lit bathrooms.
- They change the perception of depth and size. A full-wall mirror can make a small bathroom feel twice as big, making it less cramped.
DIY or Professional Installation?
When considering adding mirrors to your bathroom, an important question to ask is whether to do it yourself (DIY) or hire a professional to do it.
Framed mirrors only need to be hung on a nail, so anyone can do those. Some that we’ve included are wall decals with adhesive backs so you can stick those yourself, too.
However, some mirrors are huge or lack a way to attach them to the wall. In these cases, it’s best to get professional help to avoid them falling and shattering.
Mirror Decor Ideas for Bathrooms
Now, let’s check out six ways to decorate your bathroom walls with mirrors. As you’ll see, there’s a style for everyone and every bathroom.
1. Single Large Mirror
If you’ve ever been jealous of the amount of mirror space public bathrooms have, this is the design concept for you.
All you have to do is get one mirror big enough to cover most of one wall, and you’re good to go! What’s really nice about this idea is that there’s no need to worry about frames.
Here’s an example of this concept in action:
Here are a couple of large mirrors that you can buy to install in your home. Both have the option of expert installation, so you don’t have to try to install them yourself.

Not as large as the other one, this 30″ x 40″ mirror also has beveled edges which make it a beautiful addition to any bathroom.
2. Dual Mirrors
Adding a second mirror can increase the feeling of space and light in your bathroom. You don’t need a large wall—just a corner for matched mirrors.
These can also be framed or unframed, and you can use nearly any type of mirror to match the style of the rest of your bathroom. This provides a lot of flexibility when choosing this design.
Here’s an example of this in practice:

For a style that matches the one pictured above, you’ll want to go with this LED-backlit mirror. It has adjustable settings and an anti-fog function, so you don’t have to worry about steaming your mirror.
3. Mirror Collection
Why stop at just two mirrors? If you want a decorative element that adds light, color, texture, and lines, consider adding several mismatched mirrors to your bathroom.
Depending on the size of the mirrors, you may want them as a design element only, not something that you’ll have to use to get ready in the morning.
If you have enough space over your sink, however, you certainly could have a small cluster of decorative and functional mirrors.
This is what we’re talking about:
Now, let’s look at a few mirrors you could choose for your own bathroom to create a mirror collection that’s sure to impress your guests.
This round mirror is simple with a black frame, which makes it great for adding to any cluster of mirrors.

This small vintage oval mirror works well in a mirror cluster because of its fun and ornate frame. If you want to paint the frame, you can ensure it matches any decor or adds a touch of color to a wall.
Another frame with an elegant feel, this gold Baroque-inspired mirror has a unique shape, which makes it ideal for a mixed mirror group.
4. Fitted Square Mirrors
Arrange a bunch of square mirrors close together to cover as much wall space as you want. You can align them parallel to the floor or at an angle for a jagged look.
Another option is to offset them for a diamond-like pattern. Framing is optional, but this style often looks better without frames.
Here’s what we’re talking about:
Here are a couple of mirrors you can order to achieve this look in your bathroom:
Although designed to work as a centerpiece, there’s no reason you couldn’t mount these 12″ square mirrors on the wall to create your own mirror masterpiece.
If you have a larger bathroom, you may want to use this 24″ square mirror to decorate your wall. It also comes with an installation service, so you don’t have to try to mount it yourself if you lack the tools or ability.
5. Small Scattered Mirrors
This look would be perfect for an accent wall in a bathroom. You can use any shape or even combine shapes to create this look.
Circles would be particularly great in the bathroom to resemble bubbles floating along your wall.
Another great aspect of this design is using mirrors of the same size or mixing sizes for an eye-catching cluster. The possibilities are endless, so you’ll find the right option for your bathroom.
Here’s an example of this look in action with diamonds:
Here are a couple of mirror options to choose from to decorate your own bathroom with this style:
These assorted circle mirrors are tiny so you may need a few packages, but it could also be just what your bathroom needs. You’ll also want to pick up some heavy-duty glue so you can secure them to your wall.
These cloud-shaped mirrors will benefit whimsical bathroom themes. This is particularly true if you have blue walls, as they’ll make you feel like you’re outside.
You may also consider trying these heart-shaped wall stickers. They’re made of plastic and not super high quality, but they may be worth trying if you want something fun and unique in your bathroom.
6. Full Mirror Wall
If your bathroom feels twice as large, consider filling an entire wall with mirrors. It’s a big DIY project, but it’s worth it.
You can tile mirrors closely together or use large panels like those in a gym. The choice depends on your preferences.
This is what we’re talking about here. As you can see, this bathroom is long and narrow but looks much larger thanks to the mirror wall.

These 10″ x 10″ mirrors are perfect for covering a bathroom wall. The only drawback is that they’re meant for decorating tables, so you’ll also need to use mirror clips to mount them to your wall.

However, read the reviews carefully, as some buyers have reported they distort images and don’t stick well.
