Mirrors aren’t just for the bathroom and hallway; they can be used in just about any room of the house. Hanging or installing mirrors in your home is a great way to maximize the light that enters your house, making it appear brighter and more open. How can you customize your home with mirrors? Check out these ideas:
Wall Mirrors
Adding a wall mirror to a room will make it seem dramatically bigger! Wall mirrors can be made of many small pieces or several large pieces, depending on the size of your room. When placed across from a window or a light source, wall-mounted mirrors can create a light and airy feel to your room. When you place the mirror, keep in mind what it will be reflecting. You don’t want to inadvertently showcase items in your room that you’d rather not have on display.
Mirror-Front Cabinets
Cabinets with mirrored front panels make a unique decorative statement. They can be used in the bedroom or bathroom instead of a standing mirror, freeing up valuable floor space. In the kitchen, mirrored cabinets add a decorative element that has an effect like glass doors but without transparency.
Statement Framed Mirrors
Oversized mirrors that lean against a wall are trending right now. These mirrors reflect much light and serve as a statement piece in a room. They also add a vertical element that makes the room appear larger. To secure a leaning mirror to the wall, use furniture straps. You may also want to use a grip surface on the bottom to prevent it from slipping.
Home Gym Mirrors
Many people added gym space to their homes when the COVID-19 pandemic started. Adding a mirrored wall can take your home gym to the next level. This will help you perfect your form and keep you motivated as you work out. If you do exercises requiring you to be aware of your space (like yoga or boxing), a mirror can provide a reference point.
Bar Mirrors
Mirrors can serve several purposes in a home bar. They make the space look bigger and encourage social interaction. Plus, they add a look of luxury that will create a great ambiance for your home hangout. Mirrored shelves to display bottles and glasses can also be a great addition to a home bar.
