How to choose a hallway mirror
The hallway is the hardest-working wall in the house, and usually the most awkward. It's narrow, it's the first thing you see when you walk in, and it's the last place you check yourself before you leave. The right mirror does three jobs at once: it throws light down a dark hall, it makes a tight space feel wider, and it gives you a full look on the way out. Here's how to choose one that fits.
Width is the constraint, so measure it first
In a hallway, width decides everything. Measure the wall, then leave breathing room on each side so the mirror doesn't crowd the space or catch a shoulder as you pass. As a rough rule, leave at least 100 to 150mm clear on either side. A slim full-length like the Sienna 1700 x 610 is built for exactly this: head-to-toe height at only 610mm wide, so it works where a wider mirror would feel tight.
Full-length, or above a console
Two setups work in a hall. A full-length mirror gives you a proper top-to-toe check before you leave. Choose a wall-hung model, or a model with a safety top bracket if you want to lean it securely anchored. Or a smaller mirror above a console brings light and a quick glance, with somewhere to drop your keys. If you have a console or shoe bench, the shorter arch of the Vittoria 1100 x 900 can sit above it. It's 1100 mm high and 900 mm wide, so check both the height and the width above your furniture. If you want the full reflection, go tall and slim. Our console styling guide covers the above-furniture option in detail.
Let the shape set the mood
An arch softens a boxy hallway and never dates, which is why it's our most-picked shape. A sculptural piece like the Sofia adds character to a plain corridor and reads almost like art. Browse the arch mirrors and wall mirrors to see what suits, or read arch or rectangle if you're torn.
Match the finish to the entry
Pick up what's already in the hall: door handles, light fittings, the console. Brushed gold warms a space, matte black sharpens it, antique copper is softer than gold, and white satin disappears into a pale wall. If you're unsure, hold the finishes against your hardware before you commit. Our finish guide walks through all four.
Hang it safely
Check the mounting drawing for the model you choose: framed and LED mirrors use heavy duty brackets, while frameless mirrors use slim aluminium brackets. Choose wall fixings to suit the wall and bracket. Mirrors with the top bracket lean against the wall and fix to it with that bracket. Sienna LED stands on its removable legs and fixes to the wall with its top bracket. Felicia LED and Allira LED have no top bracket or legs, but they're light enough to lean; we recommend a wall hook if you have children or pets. Our guide to hanging a heavy mirror covers it in a few minutes.
