STATEMENT MIRRORS TO COMPLEMENT THE ARCH DECOR TREND
Written by Emma McLaughlan
The arch décor trend continues to elegantly influence the world of interiors. Contemporary home designs are shaped with architectural archways that adjoin open-plan living spaces. Colour-blocked walls take on a playful appearance with arch motifs. Furniture is curvaceous and modern chandeliers drip with inverted arch silhouettes. No space would be complete without the light-reflective qualities of a statement mirror, so what mirrors best complement the look? Let’s explore 6 fabulous designs that will elevate your room with style and grace.
FULL LENGTH MIRRORS
Greystoke Arch Leaner Mirror by Bodhi
A long mirror instantly increases the sense of space in a room, reflecting the layout over a large expanse of glass. An arch-shaped full length wall mirror is a space-saving décor solution for compact rooms, whilst a floor standing mirror is an attractive piece to fill a disused corner. This full length mirror by Bodhi is a flexible option that can be wall hung or propped as a floor mirror with the anti-topple kit included.
BEVELLED MIRRORS
A bevelled mirror provides added dimension with a crisp light-reflective cut, with or without a decorative frame. This embellished round mirror offers layers of interest with an eye-catching silver mirror frame around bevelled glass. Its 3D profile bows gracefully toward the arch motif. This large mirror provides a focal point above an arched fireplace, brings light to a vaulted hallway, and makes an attention grabbing dressing table mirror.
WINDOW MIRRORS
Kelford Cream Metal Window Mirror by Bodhi
Where arched architecture and large windows are lacking, an arch-shaped window mirror offers an easy way to construct detail and increase natural light. This arch mirror comes in a vintage cream painted finish, which blends gently with neutral wall décor. The faux window frame effect creates an optical illusion of an opening where there is none, but can also be used to duplicate a gorgeous view.
SUNBURST MIRRORS

A sunburst mirror pursues a curvaceous theme whilst displaying distinctive flair. Opt for a gold mirror frame to make a warm juxtaposition with a pale neoclassical backdrop of white stucco or cool industrial-style concrete. A gold sunburst mirror also sings out from muted sage, blush, and greige paintwork, making it a fabulous accessory for a colour-blocked focal point above a curved sofa or arched headboard.
GEOMETRIC MIRRORS
Whilst smooth silhouettes are first to come to mind to complement interior arches, the arch design trend also works well under the sharp contrast of a striking geometric mirror. To complement both aesthetics, choose an even, octagonal shape like the Estelle mirror. This design flies close to a rounded motif, whilst delivering a fashion-forward geometric wireframe format.
CONVEX MIRRORS
Harris Convex Mirror Grey Wash (Set of 3) by Bodhi
A convex mirror set offers an alternative approach to mirrored wall décor. It can be arranged to suit the flow of your furniture, structural archway, or feature alcove. In this trio, each mirror is finished with a textured resin frame that complements fashionably fluted furniture and en vogue slatted walls.
With a statement mirror in place, your arch-themed décor scheme will really shine. Add to the curvaceous layers of the room with some smaller décor pieces too, like a unique side table, a quirky decorative vase or an arch sculpture. Including the curved motif in subtle details will achieve a well-rounded aesthetic with a cohesive flow.
