The Power of Mirrors

Turn a plain wall to an artsy corner in an instant

Never Underestimate the Power of Mirrors – Here’s Why

Mirrors are known as a bathroom and bedroom essential, but not a lot of people know that these fixtures actually make excellent interior design features. They don’t just reflect light and create an illusion of space, but also accentuate spaces and influence a room’s overall look and feel. They make walls look more alive, rooms brighter, and any given space more dramatic.

THE MIRROR EFFECT

There are many ways to use mirrors for home interior design. Its versatility as a fixture and feature allows it to be used in any kind of room, open space, or nook and cranny of a house. This ubiquitous looking glass also comes in various shapes and sizes. And it is easy to find mirror pieces that go well with just about any interior style – from coastal themes to modern minimalist.


Furthermore, mirror decors add character to a room or area. Designer mirrors, for instance, can lend an air of sophistication to any simple room. Unique and luxurious pieces instantly become focal points. They can be found in different styles that suit any existing interior design and homeowner’s personality.



FROM BORING TO STUNNING

A plain, lifeless wall can become a lot more interesting with the help of a mirror. You can use it to illuminate the space facing the wall, create a more open and spacious feel, or simply transform the wall from boring to stunning. You can also partner it with other design features such as table lamps, vases, and artworks.


Wall mirrors can also be used to dictate the center or create a sense of balance in the room. While you can always play with design elements and go eclectic with your interiors, it is smart to use mirrors to achieve symmetry and harmony. Mirrors when used properly can bind elements together, so it pays to consider finding an ideal piece.



CHOOSING YOUR MIRROR

While mirrors in general are wonderful pieces to have in your living space, you would want to find pieces that can actually do the trick and the magic for you. To choose the perfect mirror, you have to think about different factors – the amount of available space, your existing interior style, your personal taste, and of course functionality.


Round mirrors, for example, lend a softer feel to angular rooms. Framed designer mirrors are excellent if you want to make a statement. Table top mirrors go well for smaller rooms, whereas floor mirrors are perfect for spacious areas. Some manufacturers are even open to customization just in case you are very particular with the size, shape, and framing of your mirror.

There are plenty of options out there so don’t get overwhelmed. It all boils down to two main considerations when buying a mirror: style and function. Keep these two things in mind so you can find the perfect mirror for your home.
