Mirrors show us what we look like, but have you ever thought that they can also say a lot about your house, if not used creatively. They reflect light, space and can also enhance the decor. Read through to know and understand few guidelines that one should follow while hanging/placing and investing in the mirrors for the interior space.
Depth Deal
For creating the illusion of depth and space in a small room, try to play with large mirror installations. Place them against an artwork or install them at an edge so that scones or chandelier reflects in it. The idea is to create a vibrant color combination when lights are switched on.
Size Matters
If you are worried about having giant mirror frames, then, take the wall opposite to the entrance door and create a pattern or gallery of different sizes of mirror frames. It will become the frame of your guests who enter, plus it can help them to check out in a smart way. According to Feng Shui to place a mirror in the entrance of your abode, it offers a feeling of being welcomed.
Be Logical
Never place a mirror, just for the sake of filling the space. It might make space look empty. Avoid placing them in corridors. It makes no sense and there are chances of damage too. And the aesthetic reason behind avoiding it is that we generally don’t place anything in the corridor, so the mirror will be of no use to create a reflection of anything worth a watch.
Not Happening
Avoid using them in the kitchen area. The kitchen is one area that creates smoke and vapor even after having a chimney setup, which might make the mirror look bad and will also require regular maintenance to make them look perfect. Better is to avoid it!
Source of Energy
Apart from the dressing table, avoid mirror decor in the master bedroom, in any case, it can reflect bed in it and is not good from Feng Shui perspective. According to Feng Shui, any mirror facing the bed interferes with your personal energy; it is said that it invites a third party into your intimate relationship it should be avoided. In case you really want a mirror element in the room then place it in a spot where you won’t see your reflection as soon as you wake up, technically it can be behind you, above the headboard.
Natural Balance
Place a royal mirror installation over a fireplace; it brings good energy into the room. The mirror is a water element, and when placed over (the fireplace), it creates a natural balance to remove all negativity.
Furniture File
Allow your creative wins to fly and invest in mirrored furniture (such as a mirrored chest of drawers or a mirrored coffee table) to enhance your home. They give a regal feel to the corner and are low of maintenance as far as vulnerability is concerned. But never use such furniture in the busy room, it will only create a clash.
