Consider one of the smaller rooms in your home, such as a bathroom. The mirror in this bathroom obviously has a practical use. It’s certainly helpful for a man when he’s shaving or brushing his teeth. Even with an item as clearly functional as the bathroom mirror, decorative touches can be added to it to spark up the room.
What I’m saying is that if you’re going to redo your bathroom, it’s just as easy to put special touches on something functional like a mirror. You have a couple of choices: you can add some sort of ornamentation to the existing mirror or you can buy a mirror that is made of a unique type of glass. Another approach is to design the bathroom with a particular color scheme, and then use the mirror as a focal point of the design.
In many living rooms a mirror is placed over the mantel of a fireplace, giving the area a special, decorative charm. I say decorative, because the mirror is the center of attention in the room. While it has a practical purpose, of course, the mirror has an undeniable decorative appeal that draws all eyes to it. If you want the mirror to be considered a stand-out decorative piece in your home, consider using other mirrors elsewhere in the house for the more functional purpose; this will underscore the effect of the mirror over the fireplace.
When used in a large space, like down a hall, mirrors can be used to create the illusion of a bigger space. This effect can also be created in regular rooms or smaller spaces in your home. But how should a mirror be placed in a space that is already spacious like a large retail store or banquet hall? In this case, mirrors can extend the interior space beyond the walls.
Mirror an entire wall to create a statement in this kind of a space. The wall can be mirrored floor to ceiling, in vertical lines or along a horizontal plane. You can intersperse the mirrors with wall paper if you wish. Consider adding a design element to the corners of rectangular rooms.
Ultimately, a mirror can be used to create space and also can have a functional purpose. So if you’re searching for a unique interior design approach, start with the living room mirror.
