Why are mirrors sometimes known as a decorator’s secret weapon? Done right, they can make a room look larger or brighter, frame views and add interest to any room.
Here’s how to use mirrors in your home’s design:
Let there be light
Placed next to or opposite a window, a mirror can amplify the natural light that fills a room. If you’ve got an extra-large space to illuminate, place a mirror next to the lamp or wall sconce. You can even bring the outdoors inside by arranging a mirror or group of mirrors opposite a picture window.
Center of attention
Use mirrors to create a focal point in a room. If you’re not sure what to do with a blank wall, try putting a unique mirror there, like a sunburst or an antique mirror. You could even try hanging multiple mirrors of different sizes to create a one-of-a-kind arrangement.
Go big
Want to make a room look larger? Prop a mirror against the wall. This works particularly well with short passages you want to appear longer.
