5 Gorgeous Ways to Decorate with Mirrors

1.      Think Outside of the Box

Sometimes you need to think outside of the box, this ‘box’ being interior walls of your home. Some people believe that mirror only has its function while it is indoors, but this is as far from the truth as it gets. Why not enhance your patio by placing a huge mirror on the wall behind sitting area? Not only will it seem impressive on its own, but by distorting the light it will create a completely new impression of your home. During the day, it will enhance the intensity of natural light and thus increase the illumination. At night the reflection of the candlelight may seem simply majestic.

2.      Vintage is Evergreen

If by any chance you stumble upon a vintage mirror in your basement of see one during a garage sale, make sure to acquire it. There are many reasons behind this, foremost being that you can combine it with virtually anything. A lot of people live in delusion that in order to make your vintage item fit, your entire home needs to be vintage. On contrary, vintage is evergreen and there are many styles you will be able to work with. For example, such an item would go well with rustic, colonial or even Victorian setting. Under specific circumstances it can also mix well with contemporary interior design.

1.      Kitchen Cabinets

Bedroom and bathroom are not the only two places that could benefit from a smooth silvery surface. This could also go well along with your kitchen. In a recent interview with people behind Imperium Wardrobes & Showerscreens we learned that there are many kitchen elements that go well with mirrors. Seeing how your marble countertop is already a reflective surface, adding mirrors on the hanging cabinets in your kitchen could be a nice final touch. All in all, this is definitely an idea you might want to ponder on a bit more.

1.      Mirror on a Window

All you need to do is find a mirror with a frame that will fit the frame of the window and there you have it- your own gorgeous optic illusion. Daring as it may be, there is nothing that is more likely to make a strong impression on your home’s visitor than this completely unorthodox sight. To make it all even better, you can make this into a DIY project and add a personal dimension to all of it.

1.      Wardrobe Panels
