There are literally hundreds of different designs to choose from for your Christmas mirror decorating look; from simple stars and baubles to complete nativity scenes with the three wise men. Turn your mirror into an advent calendar and strike off the days; create a snakes and ladders game with trees as the ladders and reindeer as the snakes. Or just use a vase, add twigs and your advent calendar to individual twigs.
This Christmas decorating post is about creating a feature or focal point using your Mirror. Most of us have got one, often in the hallway, and if not there, then the bedroom, living room and bathroom. You don’t necessarily need to decorate your mirror to create a festive feel. The placement of a mirror makes a huge difference to how a room is presented. It’s so important to think about reflections – and when it comes to Christmas, you can get twice the impact of your decorations by simply placing your mirror effectively. Another key aspect of Christmas is sitting down to a big festive meal. Often the dining room has to pull out all the stops at this time of year (it may not have been used for that purpose very much the rest of the time). So if you have a mirror in the dining room, then enhancing this with some extra Christmas decorations can give the room a lift and tie in with your table decorations too. Hallway In the living room, a mantel is always helpful as a prop but you shouldn’t let that stop you. And if you prefer a more minimalist feel, honor that too. Also, in terms of safety, it should be paramount that any candles you have burning next to your mirrors are never left burning unattended. For the sake of energy usage more than anything else, electronic lights should also not be left running whilst no one is around. Look After Your Mirror TooApart from dressing the tree, wreaths on doors, large feature ornaments that come out every year, dressing the staircase, coffee table, dining table… there’s your mirror! From burlap to paper cut outs and wall decals, I’m hoping there’s something here for you! The hallway mirror is also a prime location for some festive touches, as an entrance point this is where you will first get that Christmassy feeling when you come in the door. If you have any family or visitors popping over, then this will also be a perfect first bit of decorative magic to welcome them into your home in the right fashion. Bedrooms If you’d rather take a more ‘in your face’ approach with baubles, you could do something like this: This well-placed rustic mirror makes the room feel more spacious and offers a near 360 degree view of the beautiful tree decorations. Try a combination of baubles and garlands for a cosy Christmas feel. Wrapping lights around the garlands can be fiddly, but there are plenty of options with ready-fitted lights and other embellishments like ribbons, berries and pine cones. The warm glow is a lovely contrast to the rich dark green of the garland.
Simple yet beautiful: hanging an arrangement of baubles in the centre of a mirror is a great way to add a subtle festive touch. Larger baubles tend to work better, and less is more – otherwise it could look bulky. Battery powered fairy lights give it a magical touch! Try enhancing your mirror by adding a smaller garland. Here, large bows are used as embellishments and they wonderfully reflect the matching tree decor. You could get creative and make your own arrangement or use a shop bought option. You can always buy one to create your Christmas mirror decorating feature. It doesn’t have to be expensive. You can even make one using ordinary glass and applying a simple spray can of mirror paint.Your mirror is such a natural place to add a Christmas message to family and friends; somewhere that is visible, and because you walk by so many times during the day, somewhere you can reinforce your heartfelt Christmas message! You can go wide, bright, subtle, elegant, rustic, minimalist or loud. It’s up to you.You can still add a wreath or some greenery for a fuller layered look, or some lights, but it also depends on the size of your mirror and of course, what other decorating you have close by. These mirrors are all decorated with a wonderful Christmas theme in different styles and colors to grace your home. Even simple paper cut outs below are a wonderful addition, a little color, to a simple white framed mirror. The fireplace is often the fundamental focal point of what is itself the hub of the home (especially at Christmas). As such, this creates a prime opportunity to build on the theme set in motion by your Christmas tree. You might use off-cuts from the tree (or a foliage garland) to layer below and around the mirror and run some fairy lights through the warm, rich greens of the spruce, fir or pine. Just think: this is where Father Christmas will traditionally be entering the home, so it will only be right to offer him a cosy festive scene as a welcome! Dining Room
