5 Smart Tips To Style Your Home With Mirrors

In the world of interior designing today, mirrors could well be considered avant-garde luxury. Because apart from telling you how beautiful you look, a mirror plays a major role in enhancing a room.

* Luminosity

Mirrors work well for home décor especially because it lets light reflect into a dark corner. Achieve this by using a wall mirror to help reflect light from a window or light fixture into dark spaces.

* Illusionary

Make small rooms look bigger with mirrors; the reflection gives the illusion of an extended room. If you are up for a ‘Matrix’ feel in your home, you could even hang two mirrors across from each other in the room of your choice; the reflections will make the room look like it is never ending.

* Getting Reflective

You have to be careful while selecting a place for hanging or even resting a mirror. Ensure you place it where it reflects something that’s worth looking at, such as a window, a piece of art, a wall or something else that you enjoy looking at. Such a drab world it would be if you installed your mirrors staring at the ceiling or an unattractive piece of furniture!

* Positive Vibes

If you are a believer, you may consider placing a mirror in the house according to Vastu. That would also mean that you avoid placing them at the home entrance or in such a way that it directly faces the bed; it is believed that in such positions, they will not reflect positive energy.

* Limited Addition

As tempted as you may be, try not to go overboard with mirrors. At the most, you may play around with a group of 3–5 mirrors in any room.
