There’s something transformative about well-placed wall art and mirrors. They’re more than decorative – they reflect your personality, tell stories, and shape the feeling of a room. At CharlesTed Home, we believe your walls should inspire you. Whether it’s a statement mirror or a gallery wall of curated prints, here’s how to style your space with intention and elegance.

Start with Eye Level

A simple rule with big impact: hang larger artwork and mirrors at eye level. The centre of your piece should sit around 145-150cm from the floor. This keeps your art connected to the rest of the space and avoids the dreaded “floating art” look.

Our CharlesTed oversized arch mirrors make a stunning anchor in hallways and living areas – just the right size to draw the eye while reflecting natural light to brighten your room.

Grouping with Intention – The Gallery Wall

Smaller pieces have more power when they come together. Create a gallery wall with a mix of CharlesTed botanical prints, abstract art, and minimalist sketches. Choose a unifying theme – colour, frame type, or subject – and lay out your arrangement on the floor before committing to nails in the wall.

Tip: Keep spacing consistent (around 5-8cm between pieces) and work around a central anchor piece.

Balance is Everything

Think of your wall as a scale – visual weight matters. A large mirror on one side of a room might need a bold artwork on the other to keep the balance. If your furniture is heavy or dark, choose lighter or more vibrant art to contrast and lift the space.

Our Antique Gold Framed Mirrors are perfect for this, pairing classic design with modern sensibility.

Match the Mood to the Room

• Living Room: Go bold. Oversized prints or layered frames above the sofa create instant drama.

• Bedroom: Think calm and cohesive. Choose soft tones, calming abstract prints or twin artworks for above the bed.

• Hallway: Mirrors work wonders here. Use our CharlesTed round mirrors to open up the space and make a warm first impression.

Hanging Made Simple

Use picture-hanging strips for lighter pieces and secure fixings for heavier mirrors. Always check wall type before drilling. Use a spirit level (or your phone’s app!) to ensure everything is straight.

Reflect Your Style

Art and mirrors aren’t just for filling wall space – they’re an extension of your personal style. Whether you're a minimalist or maximalist, CharlesTed Home has something for you – from modern monochrome prints to vintage-inspired mirrors that bring warmth and texture to any interior.
