There are a variety of different ways that mirrors can be used to decorate a home. If placed well, they can add energy, enlarge a space and completely transform the overall look and feel of a room. Use these decorating tips to help decide where you should put it. Strategic Reflections A mirror can be placed on a wall adjacent to an art piece, floral arrangement or a window, so the reflection seemingly adds an additional view with a simple optical illusion. It is always bad practice to put one on your ceiling. As Decorative Centerpieces Place a mirror on large, empty wall to double the space in your living room/family room. You can also place it above a fireplace or fireplace mantle, or use it to reflect a piece of furniture. Enlarging Small Spaces Want to decorate a small space, but have no idea what to do? Try adding a large mirror; it can dramatically increase the perceived amount of open space. For A Vintage Look Want to change the look of your room to be more vintage and classic? Look for older, antique that you can add to your wall space. In An Entryway Adding a mirror to an entryway will not only brighten up the area around your front door or foyer, but it can also be used for ambiance and a way to make visitors feel welcome in your home when paired with an end table containing candles, pictures, art pieces or other decorative items. Bedrooms & Bathrooms Try putting one in your bedrooms and bathrooms. They are simply a necessity, versus a decorating piece, in these spaces. They are great for dressing rooms and closets, but avoid putting one facing your bed, no one wants to see him or herself as soon as they wake up. Accent Natural Lighting Outside of opening the blinds or curtains on a window, mirrors in dimly lit rooms are good at helping reflect light, especially when in corners and directly across from an actual source of natural light. On An Empty Wall If you have a bare wall in a room where you want to add some life and energy, adding a mirror can enhance the room by providing an illusion of depth. Make sure, however, that the reflection is of something interesting, aesthetically pleasing and not dirty or plain. In Hallways & Staircases Adding smaller, horizontal mirrors to hallways and staircases is generally good practice for widening narrow spaces. This is a good trick for creating a better flow from room to room. Find quality, custom mirrors and windows in Michigan with Voss Glass.
