Make rooms feel larger and bright with thoughtful mirror placement. The right placement of the mirror matters, regardless of whether you’re rearranging an existing room, adding a ready made mirror to your space, or installing a custom made one. They provide the ability to reflect views and light sources, which can change the look and feel of your home or business.
Mirror placement may not seem like a big deal, but some locations are better than others. If you’re short on ideas of how to maximize light and space with a mirror, we’ve got the inspiration you need for just the right fit.
It’s increasingly popular to place mirrors opposite windows and natural light sources. Placing a mirror here can amplify daily and distribute it throughout the space. You don’t have to put it directly opposite though if it doesn’t feel right. Placing a mirror just to the side works just as well, and provides a softened reflection of natural light.
Try this placement idea in living rooms to make them appear larger. Brighten up entryways by placing a mirror along either side of the wall. Spread the ambiance of your dinner party throughout the dining room with a well placed mirror.
Don’t be afraid to get creative with mirror placement. Creative mirror placement can add visual depth and dimension to your space. Tight spaces like corners can be brightened up with the right mirror as an accent piece.
Smaller rooms appear larger with mirrors also. A full length mirror can make a walk-in wardrobe appear larger. Amp up the cozy feel of the living room by placing a mirror near a sofa. Dual mirrors in a shared bathroom can provide a subtle designation of bathroom space. Soften the look and feel of choosing a circular mirror with warm LED vanity lighting.
Hallways and entrywalls have a reputation for being narrow or dimly lit. The high traffic spaces are often looked over, often with their space being underutilized decoratively and under personalized.
Large or decorative mirrors can act as focal points while enhancing light flow in narrow or dimly lit areas like hallways and entryways. They add visual interest to a seemingly dull arena.
An ornately framed mirror in the middle of the hall doubles as both a work of art and a place to check your reflection before you head out the door. Be sure to request it be securely mounted during installation.
