Whether it’s providing a decorative touch or giving the illusion of more room through strategic positioning, there are numerous ways to play with a mirror’s reflection to style your space. So, let’s explore the various inventive ways contemporary mirrors can bring new meaning to your home.
Mirrors are all about making a statement in your home using the subtle power of persuasive reflection. Generally, the larger the mirror, the greater the impact. Whether it is an arched bathroom mirror, a wall mirror, floor mirror or rectangle mirror the benefits of installing contemporary mirrors throughout your home are endless.
Sometimes you should leave the vanity aspect of a mirror behind to concentrate on its space-expanding potential and ability to reveal hidden-from-view items of interest. You should therefore spend time thinking about what you would like to see in your living room when you’re there and thus place the mirror opposite where you sit to reflect this.
You also want to try and optimise what natural light you do have. The key to doing this successfully is to choose the biggest mirror you can afford as it equates the more space you can create.
The use of mirrored walls to increase the depth of field within a room makes them a powerful tool to manipulate space cohesively. In addition, their ability to reflect light can turn a drab room into something that shines. It can also be an innovative solution to a bare wall by opening up that space to greater potentials through reflection. In addition, consider using them to divide rooms by adding them to wall partitions too.
With a bit of visual trickery, mirrors can work as windows as well. If they are positioned opposite other windows, they can reflect a room with a view superbly, providing the illusion of all-encompassing vistas.
