How to Make the Perfect Mirror Placements

Mirrors can either enhance or disrupt the entire aesthetic of a house. Their correct placement can brighten an area and give it the of being bigger than it is. This blog goes into detail about how to strategically position your mirrors for additional functionality in your household.

Mirror Placements as an Important Décor Item

A perfectly positioned mirror can make your house look spacious. Some areas to place them are:

• Bathrooms: The bathroom is the most obvious place for a mirror. Mount it above your wash basin and fix it on a wall where it would be able to display the adjacent wall. If you have a long wall for a bathroom vanity, then a pair of large mirrors will do the trick. Arrange them side by side and remember not to keep it directly across the toilet as it might end up looking more crammed and closed. If you do not have an open wall for the mirror, then custom mirror doors for cabinets will be a good alternative.

• Living Room: A living room is one area which sees the most commotion throughout the day. You can incorporate a large mirror as a centerpiece. If there is a big window overlooking the garden in your room, keep the mirror opposite to it. This helps the mirror reflect natural light. An enormous antique living room mirror can act as a stimulating topic of discussion between you and your guests.

• Mirror Walls: A very interesting way to have mirrors in your home through mirror tiles. A mixture of wood or marble added to a mirror, if one whole wall is turned into mirror tiles; it creates the impression of added space. You can also turn the doors of your wardrobe into mirrors imitating a walk-in closet, making your room look luxurious.

Pro Tip: "Whenever you are incorporating mirrors in your house, avoid going overboard with it. Keep the colour, shape and texture of the mirrors in tandem with the interiors."

More Functional Arrangements of a Mirror

• A single large mirror can be hung as a statement piece.
• You can place a round mirror exactly in the middle and on top of your mantle piece. Add a few flower pots on each side of the mirror to make it livelier.
• Depending on the décor and interiors, you can place several small and oddly-shaped mirrors.
• Mirrors work wonderfully as backsplashes of both the kitchen and the bathroom as well.
• Empty narrow spaces or hallways can appear wider and longer if you place a long vertical in the centre of a wall.

Custom mirrors, unlike conventional framed pictures, can make small rooms and lean hallways appear bigger or broader than they are. Follow these above-mentioned tips to see how your house can transform into something bigger and seemingly lavish.
