Choosing The perfect Decorative Mirror For Your Space

When choosing a Decorative Mirror for your home

, office or any space there are several pieces of information to consider. Among these things is the size of the mirror you are looking for, the amount of light in the area where the mirror will be placed, and the expression you want to achieve. By taking these three things into consideration they can assist in creating an everlasting impression.

First, the size of the mirror should correspond to the size of the area where it will be placed. You dont want to overpower the room with a decorative mirror that is too large, or place a mirror that is too small and might get lost in a larger room. The idea is to enhance the space when choosing and placing your decorative mirror. For example, if you have a long and narrow area, such as a hallway, you would want to use large tall mirrors to add a sense of depth and width. When the eye sees the reflection of the hallway it tricks the eye into believing this area is larger than it actually is, as well as reflecting any light coming into the area and making it brighter.

Second, the amount of light in an area conveys what size mirror should be used. A large mirror will enhance a smaller amount of light, and several small mirrors give a feeling of space in addition to light. By strategically placing mirrors near natural light, such as a window, they will reflect the light and brighten up the room. Brighter rooms often appear to the eye as being larger than they truly are. Either way, a strategically placed decorative mirror will make all the difference in any area. It could change an okay room to a fabulous room. Mirrors can add elegance, design and style to any space.

Third, is about expression, what you want the room to say or how someone should feel as they enter the room. Do you want strictly beauty, or warmth, or maybe you want it to look bigger, or longer or just comfortable. There are several types of mirrors used for these types of looks.

Using a rectangular mirror hung lengthwise will give an illusion of longer area. Using a large mirror on a smaller wall will give the look of added space in a room. If the area is bright with natural light, try adding a few smaller mirrors positioned across or adjacent to each other, which will make the room seem larger.
