Mirrors are versatile home décor pieces that can enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home. With professional glass and mirror services, these pieces can be tailored to fit any space, creating an illusion of expanded room size and better lighting. Here are six different areas where you can place these mirrors in your home:
1. Living Room
A good spot to place a mirror in your living room is above the fireplace. Here, a mirror adds elegance and reflects the room’s ambiance. Replacing artwork with a mirror can also offer a refreshing design twist, reflecting interesting aspects of the room from unexpected angles. Hanging a mirror on a wall opposite a window can brighten the room by reflecting natural light. A vertical decorative mirror on a short wall can scatter light from the opposite window throughout the room for a cozy living space.
2. Dining Area
Glass and mirror services can provide a large, dramatic mirror. A large mirror is a classic choice that can be hung at standing eye level, ideally around a few inches above the floor. This can help to match the decor and reflect beautifully set tables. A mirror placed opposite a window in a dining room low on windows can maximize natural light, brightening up the space. Highlighting decorative light fixtures with mirrors is an innovative way to enhance the room’s ambiance. Placing mirrors around windows can also contribute to a more spacious feel.
3. Entryway
An oversized mirror can be an excellent choice for the entryway as it can make a dramatic statement. Different areas in the entryway can host mirrors. A mirrored console table adds functionality, while a mirror above a bench provides convenience. Mirrors also provide a last-minute appearance check before leaving the house.
4. Kitchen
A mirror hung in a small kitchen can make the area seem larger and more open by adding depth and a sense of spaciousness. You can use mirrors as a backsplash, playing with perspective and maximizing visual impact. Mirrors on cabinet doors can also enhance the perception of space while reflecting available light to brighten the room.
5. Hallways
Hallways, especially those that are narrow or lack natural light, can greatly benefit from the addition of mirrors. Mirrors can serve to reflect light, both natural and artificial, brightening up these dim spaces. When positioned at the end of a hallway on a blank wall, a full-size mirror can create an illusion of extended space, making the hallway appear longer. If placed opposite a window or a light source, a mirror can maximize the brightness in the area, making it more inviting. Decorative mirrors add a touch of personal style, transforming a simple passageway into a visually appealing part of the home.
6. Bathroom
Mirrors hung above the sink, providing a clear view of one’s upper body for grooming tasks. Instead of a plain mirror, choose a stylish one with a unique shape or a decorative frame. To accommodate all users, hang the mirrors where everyone can comfortably see their reflection.
