Decorative Mirrors can create drama and make a stylish accent piece for your home.

Decorative Mirrors

Those days are long gone when mirrors were simply for the dressing table. They are now an essential piece of home décor. According to the room, mirrors should be aesthetically used to reflect your taste and create drama.

Decorative mirrors are so much in fashion nowadays as apart from their utility, they also make a room look beautiful and big. Mirrors are often used as a trick to create a sense of more space by interior designers in small rooms. They reflect light and give a sense of bigger space, thus brightening the room and the reflection of the room creates an illusion that there is a greater amount of space than in reality.

 

 

TIPS TO BUY MIRROR

  1. Buy high quality mirrors: Glass quality and mirror thickness is important here.
  2. Room Size: The mirror should not be too big for the room as it would overshadow other things in the room. Likewise, a small mirror may go unnoticed and may fail to create any impact. Full-size floor mirrors can make a dramatic statement in a small space.
  3. Consider your style: For modern homes, you should go for mirrors with minimal design. But for a more traditional interior décor it would be good to choose decorative mirrors that are elaborate in design.
  4. Measure: Measure the space properly where you will hang your mirror.
  5. Budget: Set a budget before shopping so you know how much you can spend on the mirror.
  6. Framing: Depending upon the frame you like you can select glass and frame separately to create a unique look.

 

 

 

Purpose: Buy a simple mirror if you just want for utility purpose like in bathrooms. But for décor purpose like in living room, or drawing room go for more designer ones. Nowadays circular, unframed, and beveled mirrors are in style.

A well-placed mirror gives a room sparkle, surprise and a bright, open feeling. The key lies in pairing the right mirror with the right location to maximize its decor-uplifting potential.
