Who's the fairest of them all…
I couldn't resist the photo of this cute kitten looking inquisitively at itself in the mirror! Mirrors offer an interesting reflection of our surroundings. Mirrors can be used as functional elements or can be used to create focal points and add a bit of glitz and glamour to a space. The most functional use of mirrors is to reflect light within a room and they can also give the illusion of more space if properly placed.
Here's some interesting and creative uses for mirrors…
Placed as a grouping or as a collection of vintage mirrors they add visual interest as well as reflecting light.
Simple and inexpensive, full length closet mirrors hung horizontally make a great statement as does the grouping below. No art needed!
The use of mirrored walls goes back a long way in interior design history and gives a formal and dramatic ambience to any space
This layered mirror design not only adds interest but also reflects the light even more from the sconces.
As the next few photos show, adding mirrored panels to doors is functional as well a beautiful. This can easily be done to existing closet doors or any plain Jane door!
Oversized mirrors are my favorite, although they can be pricey I think they give a simple elegance to any space. No fuss, no muss, no clutter!
This oversized mirror is used as a room divider, hung from the ceiling with the reflective side as the headboard, fabulous!
Even in the garden!
So, if you want to add some bling, reflect some light, make a space feel larger or you just want to look at how pretty you are…
