Mirrors, being reflective surfaces, bring in a lot of light into the room. You can make the most of them by using them creatively and placing them in strategic niches. Here are 4 creative ways of using decorative mirrors.
Placement of mirrors is subject to the size of your room and light availability. For example, in small rooms, angle the decorative mirrors such that natural light falls of them. So, they reflect the light and illuminate the entire space, thereby making the area look larger and more spacious. In large rooms, you don’t need to add space. So, place mirrors in niches that reflect images of ornamental articles in the room.
Whatever be the size of the room, the decorative mirrors you choose should always blend with the decor of the space. If your room is contemporary, choose mirrors that have sleek frames with only a bit of ornamentation. For traditional homes or Victorian homes, mirrors can have ornate and intricate frames.
While use of mirrors is excellent, never overdo it. Mirrors reflect heat in addition to light. So, by incorporating too many mirrors, your room feels stuffy and hot. Visually, they create confusion because so many things are reflected simultaneously. Always place decorative mirrors on walls that are painted in a darker shade so that they reflect lighter walls. This makes the area look very spacious.
