Ever scroll through TikTok and stop dead on a post about mirrors? You’re not alone. The TikTok mirror trend is everywhere, and it’s not just for influencers. We’ve seen UK homes light up with these simple yet stunning decor hacks. Here’s how to make your mirror the star of your space—without breaking the bank.
Mirrors aren’t just for checking your hair anymore. On TikTok, they’re the secret weapon for making rooms feel bigger, brighter, and totally Instagrammable. Users are nailing it by angling mirrors to catch natural light, adding quirky frames, or even taping them to walls for a ‘just-right’ look. One of our favourite tricks? Placing a mirror above your console table. It reflects your entryway and makes your front door feel grander.
Ready to jump on the trend? Start with these easy steps. First, pick a spot where light hits your mirror in the morning—like above your kitchen sink. Next, add a few small props: a potted succulent or a stack of books. For that ‘TikTok-ready’ vibe, try layering a string of fairy lights behind your mirror. We’ve tested this with our Velvet Frame Collection, and it’s a game-changer. Finally, don’t overthink it—your mirror should feel personal, not perfect.
Plus, the trend’s extra special because it’s so adaptable. Whether you live in a tiny flat or a spacious country home, a mirror fits. And if you’re shopping online, we’ve made it easy. Just look for ‘TikTok-favourite’ tags on our Trends page. You’ll find everything from minimalist wall mirrors to statement pieces that work with your existing decor.
Don’t forget to snap your own mirror moment. Tag us @IlluminateByBeth for a chance to be featured on our page. We’ve already seen stunning entries from our UK customers—like Sarah’s sunlit bathroom mirror with a woven basket. Her tip? ‘Add a sprig of eucalyptus for that fresh, lived-in feel.’
With the TikTok mirror trend, you’re not just decorating—you’re sharing your story. And honestly? It’s the easiest way to refresh your home without a full renovation. So grab your phone, your favourite mirror, and start creating. Your next social media hit could be just a reflection away.
