Let stylish mirrors enhance your home’s decor...

MIRRORS are a fantastic and cost-effective way of attracting and reflecting light in the home. Gone are the days when a mirror was used solely for the purposes of looking at yourself, as today they play a much bigger interior design role.

Mirrors come in all shapes and designs from the traditional to the ultra-chic and modern. Creating a spatial solution for darker parts of the home is what mirrors do best and all you have to do is assess the layout of a room and see what aspects of its interior are in need of a lift and some natural light.

Mirrors can give fabrics, wall colours and textiles a lift when situated in the right places, especially in north facing rooms where mirrors play a key role in what are darker parts of the home with little or no sunlight. By reflecting extra light, a mirror also projects the illusion of space.

Remember that by optimising natural light you will be enhancing other aspects of your interior. Hanging a mirror near a window is an easy and creative way of creating that awesome visual effect. By reflecting wall and ceiling angles in mirrors, you create the illusion of extra space.

Positioning mirrors in a way so they can reflect objects and ornaments also creates a three dimensional feeling. The design of the mirror is entirely down to personal taste, but some time and attention when hanging a mirror is all that’s required to add a whole new feeling to your home.
