The peculiarity of mirrors is not only in the power of decorating and transforming a space. They can make a room brighter and larger depending on their location. In rooms that lack natural light, one of the easiest and most effective ways to improve the atmosphere and bounce daylight around a room is to use mirrors. So, mirrors are a powerful tool in the right hands to enhance the interior design of a home. Here are our top design tips for using mirrors to transform your home.
Placement
Place a mirror next to or in front of a window to brighten a room with natural light. Another effective way to add extra lighting to a room when you need it most is to hang a mirror behind or above the lamps.
Having two or three mirrors in the right places will get the space lit and bright within no time.
Positioning a mirror in a room in a way that light from the well-lit parts of the house reflected in the less illuminated part will help create a spread-out projection of light in dark corners.
Size
Long Mirrors
Large mirrors can be incredibly effective when it comes to reflecting more light into a space or expanding a room. Make sure you arrange them neatly because the stylish design of these mirrors deserves to be the center of attention.
Small Mirrors
Round and classic small mirrors are an integral part of the interior. While a small mirror on its own will not reflect much light into a room, a group of small mirrors can still brighten a space.
Decoration
Decorative mirrors come in different sizes, shapes, and styles that you can choose from to suit any needs and budget. Depending on where they are located, mirrors will enhance the room and give it an appeal of entirety. When placing a mirror, make sure that the mirror echoes the shapes, patterns, or colors of the room.
