Sometimes a truly simple and inexpensive object like a mirror can be used for the most disparate functions in a home, from wanting to illuminate the environment better, to making it larger, more dynamic or more decorated. A simple mirror can lead to many ideas for furnishing in a modern and innovative way.
Knowing the potential of positioning a mirror, no one can be surprised if they can be used someone hours to decide which mirror to buy and where to put it. If well positioned a mirror can contribute to the total aesthetics of a room. We have thought of various cases for you, in which the position of the mirror influences the size of the place for example, or the perception of light.
For a dimly lit environment
If you want to improve the brightness of the environment and make it more intense and enveloping, it is recommended to choose a light and neutral color for the walls and position the mirror in such a way that it is able to best reflect the light entering from the outside. You can use the same technique to reflect light from a chandelier or floor lamp and lamps in general if the bathroom was blind.
For a small space
If you have the problem of having a small and narrow bathroom, we suggest you create a play of mirrors by positioning them on the short side of the wall so as to broaden the sense of spaciousness to create the effect you have in store changing rooms, that is, that of an enlarged space. If you want to increase the space widening it, give yourself the luxury of bringing the outdoor space into your home, just hang the mirror in front to the window to reflect a landscape you like or a city skyline.
To decorate the wall
Finally, if you already like the room, but you want to dare and go creative by giving it a personal touch, you can play with the positioning of the mirrors, taking advantage of their decorative function. Many mirrors of smaller dimensions, with more curious shapes, combined with each other will create a delicious and alternative game to the usual unadorned wall. Grouped or single, coupled or aligned in linearity, the wall and the entire room will find movement with extreme elegance, without the use of other different furnishing components.
Taking the concept to the extreme and wanting to insert the mirror into an existing piece of furniture, there are various solutions. Fromembellishing a piece of furniture with a mirror and then placing it inside a shelf for example, to reflect the light inside the shelving or between the shelves of a wall equipped to decorate and extend the environment.
Big or small: to each their own
And if you like the all-encompassing idea of a mirror so much, you can create an entire mirrored wall, giving the optical illusion of almost doubling the size of the room! Don’t necessarily worry about having a lot of space, because even a corner can be the optimal position for a mirror. Something small and original will look great on us. In this case, remember that there are also self-supporting mirrors, also called free–standing, meaning they do not need to be hung.
