The Best Mirrors For Under $80

The Loch Ness Monster. The number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. The way some towels still smell musty after a wash. These are just a few of life's biggest unknowns. However, none of these are more confusing than figuring out why mirrors are so expensive. I mean, come on, people. Why does a nice mirror cost the equivalent of six rounds of selling plasma?

Luckily, dear reader, it doesn't have to. Finding the best mirrors under $80 is tough, but it's no match for House Digest! Whether you're looking for something colorful, wooden, or antique-inspired, we've found some great options across the interwebs. Plus, according to the Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, mirrors can help a small space look larger. Mirrors can also make a space fill up with more light, especially when placed near a window. As if you needed more reasons to stock up on affordable mirrors.

Fit check time! Grabbing a floor-length mirror will not only help you evaluate your outfit before heading out for the day, but it can also make a room feel larger. Full-length mirrors are not cheap, so finding options on sale is always a smart move. Check out this 65-inch-by-31-inch mirror from Kirkland's Home, which features a silver-colored border with a textured feel. In the reviews, some customers showed how they placed the mirror: Longways across a wall, propped up against a corner, and even within their closet.

When looking for a floor-length mirror, it is important to keep in mind how you plan to use it. If you want something for decor purposes versus one for checking out an entire outfit, you'll likely have different qualifications.

For those who plan to use their floor-length mirror to fine-tune their fashion sense, consider measuring yourself ahead of time. Yes, we did say to measure yourself. You'll want to ensure your mirror is long enough to accommodate your entire frame (via Fab Glass and Mirror). Make sure the option you choose is at least half of your height to get the desired effect.

A traditional rectangular mirror doesn't have to be a boring addition to your space. Check out one that incorporates multiple materials –– like this wood and metal combo from Home Depot! Referred to as the Galvanized Antiqued Farmhouse Accent Mirror (say that three times fast), this piece can be a stunning addition above a console table, in a bathroom, or as soon as you walk into your foyer.

Plus, this mirror even has handy dandy D-rings to expedite the mounting process. When mounting a mirror to a wall, it's wise to gather all the needed materials ahead of time, according to Home Depot. Before getting started, grab a stud finder, a level, a hammer, nails, and optional mounting clips. If the mirror is particularly heavy, utilize a friend or your partner to help make the process go a bit smoother (and safer).

If you pick a rectangular mirror, make sure you don't choose something run-of-the-mill. This will help you avoid creating a cookie-cutter look in your space since many mirrors are rectangular.

This rattan mirror from World Market screams, "I live in a studio in NY and need every inch of storage possible," but make it chic. The Rattan Arch Wall Mirror is "handwoven" and made in Indonesia. This arched mirror is coupled with a rounded basket at the base to hold things like brushes, hair products, and makeup.

According to Vaunt Design, rattan isn't wood but rather a "tropical vine" that is used to create furniture, and it has recently made a comeback as a popular design material. This is likely due to the material's boho style, which coincidentally also has a lot of longevity. With proper care, rattan furniture and decor, like the Rattan Arch Wall Mirror, can last for years. Rattan pieces are challenging to find for a reasonable price, making this under-$80 mirror a downright bargain.
