There are many interior decor elements and mirrors are one of them. And the uniqueness brought by mirrors can transform a room. You can use mirrors to add or alter depth, light and dimensions in a room and they are great at providing useful illusions such as making a small room bigger.
You first need to select the right size hanging mirrors for the room. Think about the proportions of the room and where you intend to place it. A larger mirror is preferable if your intention is to give the impression of a larger space. It will reflect the room back tricking your mind into thinking that a small room actually extends further. You will not get the same effect with a small mirror. Small mirrors are used as accent pieces in a room. Think about the shape of the mirror as well as it can give a different impression. For example, if you are looking for a cosier element, you can select a round mirror which gives a more casual feeling. Square and rectangular mirrors are great for a modern interior. It is important to think about where you are placing the mirror. Think about which location will give you the maximum benefit according to your purpose. If you want to create the impression of a larger space, you will need to place a larger mirror opposite the wall that has a window so you can utilise all that natural light.
If there are other decorative elements in the room or an artwork that you want to highlight, you can use a mirror to achieve the effect. For example, you can amplify the light from a light source by adding a mirror to reflect the light. One way you can do this is by adding a mirror behind a lamp. This will also create an interesting element in the room as you will be seeing two lamps where there is only one. You can even have a mirror at a higher location to reflect a decorative pendant light. You can use a mirror as a centrepiece in a room. This will be the focal point of the room. You can choose between choosing one ornate mirror or a group of smaller mirrors in different sizes and shapes or even a uniform group. This can create a lot of visual interest in an otherwise dull room.
Consider different types of frame designs. The frame also brings a certain visual element. For example, go for sleek and minimal frames when it comes to modern interiors while decorative and ornate frames can fit more classic interiors. The material you choose for the mirror will also give an interesting effect. You also need to think about how furniture is placed in the room when choosing a location for the mirror. For example, you can locate a mirror above a sofa. The placement matters a lot as fixing the mirror too low or too high can make the space look and feel unbalanced and awkward.
