In old times mystic power was assigned to mirror, frequently it was thought as a door to other worlds. It still has an important role in our lives, not only in dressing but as a useful element in interior design also.
The main feature of mirror is reflecting the light and doubling the sight of the objects. This is exploited when a space is furnished with it. If light can’t be brought in a room, for example an inner corridor or hall, hang bigger mirrors on the wall, even opposite to each other, this way the light will be reflected to and from between them. This is the solution if the space is narrow also. Even one single big mirror can multiply the sense of space. They can be used as decorations instead of pictures. Let’s hang old faceted mirrors in different sizes on the wall in a desired arrangement. They will be as elegant as paintings.
However, some things have to be considered when placing them. In a bedroom a mirror should be placed only if it is not visible from the bed because in the other case we would react to every single movement of ourselves and falling asleep would be harder. In the dining room it should be placed on such height that the guests sitting at the table couldn’t see themselves in it while eating. It is practical to hang a full size piece near the entrance door, this way a last checking glance on the dress can be done when leaving.
It is a decorative solution in a kitchen to put antiqued mirrors in the doors of the upper cabinets instead of glass. This can be a good option for the backsplash also between the two cabinets instead of tiling. Pieces in floor to ceiling size can be placed in the gardrobe, home fitness room or bathroom.
If you think that some mirrors could renew your home also, ask for help of an interior designer for choosing and placing the proper pieces.
