Mirrors: enhance light and space with thoughtful placement
Mirrors do more than reflect: they amplify light, create the illusion of space and act as decorative focal points. Choosing the right size, shape and frame helps integrate a mirror seamlessly into your interior design.
Placement and style tips
Place mirrors opposite windows to increase daylight or above mantels and consoles to draw the eye. Consider frame materials that echo other finishes in the room, and choose bevelled edges or frameless options for a minimalist look.
Types and uses
- Full-length mirrors ideal for bedrooms and dressing areas to check outfits and add vertical emphasis.
- Accent mirrors in varied shapes that serve as art pieces or groupings on gallery walls.
- Functional mirrors with shelves or lighting for bathrooms and hallways.
- Decorative finishes such as antiqued glass or textured frames to complement period or modern interiors.
Consider clearance pieces when updating multiple rooms to stay within budget. Proper hanging hardware and secure fixing are essential for safety. A well-chosen mirror can refresh a room instantly while serving practical needs.
