The best places to buy mirrors in 2025 – our Style Editor's top stores for looks, quality, and price

A mirror is a must-have, if not in every room, at least in every home, so knowing the best place to buy mirrors is essential for any homeowner. They are, of course, practical pieces that need to serve a function, but if you are decorating with mirrors, you want them to look really beautiful too.

From my experience as a Style Editor who virtually shops for a living, I think the best places to buy mirrors not only deliver timeless designs, but they also tap into what feels of the moment. They anticipate what’s next, offering pieces that are part-reflection, part-forecast of interior design trends to come, but also offer pieces that aren't going to date. Of course, different brands will offer a different balance; some lean more trend-led (Anthropologie is always my go-to for designs that embrace the trends), and some are best for simple, classic styles (Pottery Barn can be relied on for sticking with the classics).

With that in mind, I’ve curated an edit of the best stores to head to if you are after a new mirror in 2025. There's a brand here to cover all budgets and styles, plus I have included the best-sellers and highly rated buys from each store for some shopping inspiration.

1. Anthropologie

In a landscape where home decor is beginning to appear amorphous, Anthropologie offers a very welcome detour. Its mirror selection feels more like winning big at a charming flea market than something sourced from the national chain that it (technically) is. Out of all its furniture and decor offerings, mirrors might be Anthropologie’s strongest suit, offering not one, but many, iconic designs (like the Gleaming Primrose, which has amassed a devoted fandom).

Price-wise, Anthropologie mirrors sit at the slightly higher price point – they definitely aren't impulse buys, but very much within reach when you’re after something that feels special. Anticipate heirloom-worthy details, whimsical upholstery pairings, and playful wood frames.

Wayfair

Wayfair is best approached like a treasure hunt, and mirrors are no exception. Whether you’re after a sculptural accent piece, a simple bathroom vanity mirror, or a full-length floor option, chances are it’s in stock, in your style, and in your price range.

Expect a dizzying array (some duds, some diamonds), but the real ones know the review section is your best friend. With a bit of patience (or a shopping editor’s eye), there are serious finds to be had. And with fast, often free shipping, the gratification is pretty instant. I’ve linked a few of my latest finds below.

Pottery Barn

Clean-cut, classic, and calm are three traits that come to mind when describing Pottery Barn’s mirror selection. The lineup doesn’t chase trends, but doesn’t ignore them either. Expect timeless silhouettes with the occasional 2025 twist, like asymmetrical frames or weathered wood finishes. These are family-friendly mirrors that play the long game.

The pricing sits comfortably mid-range (surprisingly reasonable given the quality), and if you’re near a store, the ability to see pieces IRL is a game-changer. They also offer free in-store and virtual design services, which is a godsend if you stress over symmetry (guilty).

Target

Target is one of the rare budget retailers where buying a mirror doesn’t feel like settling for less. Obviously, you’re not getting artisanal finishes or heirloom-level craftsmanship, but the style is surprisingly on point. That's especially so when you factor in its design-forward collabs, like Threshold with Studio McGee or Hearth & Hand with Joanna Gaines, which deliver trend-right silhouettes for a fraction of the price.

Target mirrors are ideal for frequent movers, budget hunters, or anyone who wants to trial trends without committing long-term. You can find a handful in-store, but the online selection has a wider range, better stock, and easier-to-find under-$100 steals.

Lulu and Georgia

Lulu and Georgia makes mirrors for people who treat furniture like fashion. The silhouettes are unexpected but still approachable, and the same goes for the elevated-but-not-fussy materials. Collaborations with names like Sarah Sherman Samuel and Aimee Song give the lineup an edge that doesn’t feel ‘trendy,’ but is definitely ahead of the curve.

From bathroom medicine mirrors to art-forward accents, these are investment pieces that finish a room the way a good shoe finishes a look – that is, with a clear point of view.

Best for: low-key luxury accents to elevate every room

Walmart

Walmart is one of those needle-in-a-haystack kind of places – overwhelming in its sheer volume of choice, but often worth the scroll. It’s especially handy if you’re working with a tighter budget. Personally, I use it as a price barometer: if I spot a mirror I like elsewhere, I’ll search Walmart first. Nine times out of ten, it’s there for less.

Two labels worth watching here: Beautiful by Drew Barrymore (cheerful but sophisticated, exclusive to Walmart) and Creative Co-Op, which partners with global artisans to offer pieces that don't reak of 'big box' in the slightest.

FAQs

How much should mirrors cost?

‘Like with many things, expensive isn’t always best,’ says Gabie King of Trove by Studio Duggan, ‘But when buying a new mirror, price will almost always reflect the quality of materials and craftsmanship.’

According to Gabie, cheaper mirrors – say, around $100 for a small design or under $300 for something larger – might pass the aesthetic, but they often compromise on function. ‘Low-quality mirrors can cause optical distortion,’ she explains, ‘resulting in warped views or slightly blurry reflections.’

Higher-end mirrors – think $400 for a modest wall design, up to $1,000 or more for a full-length piece – offer more than just polish. ‘They typically have a denser protective coating to prevent oxidation, which keeps them looking newer for longer,’ she says. Add to that sturdier frames, reinforced fittings, and built-in hardware, and the investment starts to make more sense – especially for something you’ll be staring at daily.

What is the best size for a mirror?

Sort of like a sofa, a mirror should feel proportionate to the furniture or space it’s paired with – substantial, but not so large that it overwhelms. As a general rule, mirrors should span about 70–80% of the width of the furniture beneath them. So, above a bathroom vanity, for example, you’d want a mirror that covers most of that space without going edge to edge.

The goal, like with any piece of furniture, is balance. A mirror should sit comfortably within the visual conversation, not crammed or awkward. Allocating a few inches of breathing room on either side usually does the trick.

Ultimately, the best mirror size depends on where you’re placing it (more on that in the Q&A below), the scale of the room, and what you already own. But really, a measuring tape will tell you everything you need to know.

Where are the best places to put mirrors?

Beyond the obvious (cough, cough bathrooms), Gabie King swears by mirrors in transitional spaces. ‘Mirrors in entryways and half landings are always perfect for enlarging spaces and adding depth or height to any room,’ she says. They’re also a smart way to sneak in storage. Trove’s own Tiger mirror, for instance, comes in a version with a slim shelf and drawer for keys – ‘it’s perfect for narrow terraced houses,’ adds Gabie.

Another place you didn't know you needed a mirror? The end of a hallway. ‘I love placing a mirror at the end of a hallway – it instantly elongates the space and draws the eye forward,’ says Jessica Nicastro of Jessica Nicastro Design. Even better if it’s not totally basic. ‘It’s especially striking when the mirror incorporates an unexpected detail, like an amber or smoked glass corner. It adds a layer of visual interest and warmth. It turns a transitional space into a thoughtful design moment,’ she notes.
