Mirror ideas for your home
 
Visual tricks
Mirrors create a feeling of space, absorb the image and light of a space and make it bounce. In this way, it provides a double sensation in both shine and depth. You could say that strategically placing a mirror in a dining room location would be like adding windows.

This is possible if we place the mirror in front of one of the windows with more light and we have a very wide view of the outside. In this way, the exterior will remain inside our house, as well as all its light, turning a simple dining room into a beautiful viewpoint that will give us a pleasant feeling of well-being and spaciousness.

It is important to remember that one of the keys to balancing the energy of a home is in its decoration. Specifically in the strategy of elements that distribute space and light. Therefore, by decorating with accent mirror we will contribute to the harmony of the home and our interior.

Large-scale wall mirror - sometimes more is more
Surely they have always told you that less is more, right? Well, although this statement is completely correct, if we want to decorate walls with mirrors in a minimalist way, there are times when excess can also bring us more benefits. We explain it to you.

Imagine your living room. You will surely have a table, some windows, furniture, lamps, and some other door. Well, now imagine that one of the walls, preferably the one that is taller, wider and focused towards some window or point of light, is full of mirrors. The feeling of space will multiply! Not to mention the elegance and distinction that all these mirrors will provide covering an entire wall.

Also, if your dining room was small, the mirror mural will double that space, extending the floor and ceiling. Although each house is different, therefore each room will have a different result when applying this wonderful decoration trick.

Asymmetry in mirror wall decoration
Do you like puzzles? Imagine seeing your room divided into 20 parts or your own reflection? This is possible using a framed mirror. Of course, these types of mirrors are not ideal to be able to see your face well while you are putting on makeup. You would have to look at each small square to get a sharper picture of your face.

Its function is purely decorative, to bring dynamism and fun to the room. They are often used strategically in hallways or walls that reflect a wide area. And so, the puzzle effect is even greater.

Size always matters
At this point something similar to a wall full of mirrors happens. Don't be afraid to go for a large mirror, preferably a mirror design that matches the room and is also fashionable. If you have a small room that you want to add depth to, a full-length mirror is your best alternative.

You can see that by placing a large decorative wall mirror against the wall. With no hangers or feet, just place a large, elegantly framed mirror against the main wall of the room. In this way you will create a great spaciousness, in addition to giving the place an undeniable romantic touch. They are also useful in narrow corridors of the house, which in appearance do not add anything and are difficult to decorate. Placing a large mirror there will totally change that perception and all the attention will be on it.

Mirrors as part of the gallery
Another very original idea and increasingly used among young couples is to treat mirrors as decorative units the original source within the same wall gallery.

For example, if you like illustrations with rustic frames and you have some walls decorated with them, dare to introduce several mirrors to complement that wall. Just use similar frames for the mirrors and attach them to one or the other of the illustrations. As if everything were part of the same collection of photographs.

Without a doubt, it is a modern option that will fill your home with personality.

Style always makes the difference
The appearance of a space will largely depend on the style in which it is decorated. It won't make us feel the same when walking into an all-white room, filled with light-colored wooden furniture and lace tablecloths! Compared to as if we were going to another room with saturated colors and metal furniture, right? Well, so will the mirrors. They have to be in harmony with the environment. And if possible, apply a touch of contrast and distinction that balances all the elements.

For example, we can place a mirror without a frame, totally naked and polished in the center of a large room as a housewarming gift. We will be transmitting elegance, sobriety and distinction. But on the other hand, if we want to create an intimate and reflective space, we can place a small mirror with a vintage-style gold frame that enhances that feeling of intimacy, typical of a room or a dressing table.

Placement
This is a more technical aspect of mirror wall decoration, but it is no less important for that. Sometimes a beautiful and also very expensive designer mirror can be a real failure. Especially if we do not know how to place it. Height and reflection will always be the key. Unlike artistic paintings that must always be at eye level, mirrors do not always meet this standard.

There are mirrors that obviously have to be at a height that allows us to observe our reflection. True, but most of the time they should be at a height that allows them to capture as much light as possible. At the same time it provides a sense of space by reflecting the outdoor areas.

Geometric forms
Possibly, when you consider choosing a mirror, the most common is that you think of a rectangular, round or curled-edged mirror frame, but the truth is that there are many more options. The key is to be able to combine all the elements well, at the same time that we bet on something much more innovative and only suitable for more modern decorations that like to bet big.

We are talking about mirrors with geometric motifs, without a doubt a choice that will make some fall in love from various gifts for housewarming. It all depends on the person. But the truth is that a large mirror with a gold geometric frame and metallic reflections doesn't sound too bad, does it? It all depends on the environment.



Hanging mirrors, why not?
Sometimes a mirror doesn't have to reflect anything, it doesn't even have to attract attention. Sometimes a set of small custom-made mirrors, whose main function is to hang at a key point in the house, can also be your destination.

Use the mirrors as if we were looking for a merely decorative element. Something that gives the house a just touch of elegance, but without having to obscure the rest of the elements. Hanging mirrors would work great as entry mirrors this time around. It would be a way of confirming that the expression of less is more valid also to decorate with mirrors.

In conclusion, if what you needed is a good reason to start decorating walls with mirrors, here you have it. Mirror decoration is becoming increasingly popular in interior decoration, either because of its multiple design options or because of the number of features it can have, a wall full of mirrors can become your best ally.
