The short answer: treat several mirrors as one object. Keep the gaps between them equal (5–10 cm for small mirrors, up to 15 cm for large ones), hang the middle of the whole group at 145–155 cm from the floor, and let the group cover about two thirds of the width of the sofa, sideboard or console below it. Three mirrors usually look calmer than two or four, and one shared element — the same finish or the same shape — holds a mixed group together.
How many mirrors, and how wide should the group be?
Start with the wall, not with the mirrors. Measure the free stretch of wall and plan the group at about two thirds of the width of the furniture under it: above a 200 cm sofa, a group roughly 130–140 cm wide. Three is the number that works most often, because it gives you a centre and two sides. A pair suits a narrow wall; five or more only makes sense on a wall wider than about 3 m, and then you are building a gallery rather than a mirror group. If you are unsure how much wall you really have, our guide to measuring a wall for a mirror shows how to mark it out with tape.
Three layouts that work
- The row. Three mirrors of similar height on one line with equal gaps. It is calm and formal, and fits above a console or sideboard.
- The cluster. One large mirror as the anchor and one or two smaller ones beside it, with their centres at different heights and the same gap everywhere. It is livelier and suits a wall above a sofa.
- The column. Two or three mirrors one above the other on a narrow wall or next to a door. Keep the gap equal and the left or right edges aligned, or centre them on one vertical line.
Mixing shapes and finishes without clutter
Change one thing and keep the rest. Either use one finish in different shapes — for example a round and an arched mirror, both in brushed gold — or one shape in different sizes. A group that mixes three shapes and three frames reads as a collection of leftovers. A frameless organic mirror next to a framed round one can work, because the contrast is deliberate and the colour stays the same. For the shapes themselves, which mirror shape to choose compares round, arch, organic and rectangular.
Height and spacing at a glance
| What | Where to measure | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Group on an empty wall | Middle of the whole group | 145–155 cm from the floor |
| Group above a sofa, sideboard or console | Lowest edge of the group | about 15–25 cm above the furniture |
| Gap between mirrors | Edge to edge, equal everywhere | 5–10 cm (small), up to 15 cm (large) |
| Width of the group | Outer edges | about two thirds of the furniture below |
The 145–155 cm centre is the same eye-level range as for a single mirror, explained in at what height to hang a mirror. For a group, apply it to the middle of the whole arrangement, not to each mirror.
Plan it on the wall before you drill
Cut a piece of paper or cardboard to the size of each mirror, tape them to the wall with painter's tape and step back 2–3 m. Move them until the gaps look equal from where you normally stand, and leave them up for a day. Only then mark the fixing points through the paper. It costs nothing and saves the holes you would otherwise have to fill.
Each mirror needs its own fixings. Use anchors rated for the weight of that mirror, at least two fixing points on anything wider than 100 cm, and a safety hook on large formats; the full walkthrough, including drywall, is in how to hang a mirror safely.
What will the group reflect?
Several mirrors multiply reflections, so look at what each one will show from the places where you sit and stand. A window on the opposite wall brings daylight into the group; an open shelf, a cluttered corner or a television does not. If one mirror in the group shows something you would rather not see, move it or change its position before you fix it.
Which of our mirrors work in a group
Our mirrors are made for statement walls, so the smallest round one is Ø 60 cm and the smallest frameless one is 120 × 60 cm. That makes them good anchors and good partners for each other rather than a collection of small pieces.
- Solaro — round, slim brushed gold aluminium frame, eight sizes from Ø 60 to Ø 200 cm. A small and a large Solaro together give you a pair with a clear anchor.
- Grand Arcadian — arched, slim brushed gold aluminium frame, nine sizes from 160 × 80 to 200 × 140 cm. A tall anchor for a wide wall, and it matches Solaro in finish.
- Aurora — frameless organic shape, five formats from 120 × 60 to 210 × 100 cm. Best as the single large piece with something round beside it.
More shapes are on our round gold mirrors and organic mirrors pages. If the group needs a size we do not list, see made-to-measure mirrors.
Production and delivery
- Production: every mirror is made to order from 4 mm Optiwhite glass in our workshop in Wrocław, Poland — the production time is stated in our shipping policy.
- Delivery: free across Europe for sizes up to 120 × 60 cm; €100 flat for larger sizes — the exact amount shows in your cart.

Frequently asked questions
How many mirrors should I group on one wall?
Three is the number that works most often: it gives a centre and two sides. Use two on a narrow wall, and five or more only on a wall wider than about 3 m.
How far apart should the mirrors be?
Keep the gap equal everywhere: 5–10 cm for small mirrors and up to 15 cm for large ones.
At what height should I hang a group of mirrors?
Put the middle of the whole group at 145–155 cm from the floor. Above a sofa, sideboard or console, leave about 15–25 cm between the furniture and the lowest edge.
Can I mix shapes and frames in one group?
Yes, if you change only one thing. Use one finish in different shapes, or one shape in different sizes. Three shapes with three different frames looks cluttered.
Does each mirror need its own fixings?
Yes. Each mirror needs anchors rated for its own weight, at least two fixing points on anything wider than 100 cm, and a safety hook on large formats.
