Where is the mirror decor, and where is the useful accessory? Or 5 tips for placing mirrors in your apartment

When planning the interior design of an apartment and its decor, do not neglect mirrors. Try to make the most of their useful properties - there are many of them!

Good afternoon dear friends!

After all, the decorative potential of mirrors is very great. Every year they come up with new uses, experimenting with location, shapes, color palette and framing. With their help modify the interior of the rooms, making it richer, lighter and more spacious. And they do not forget about the practical side of the issue, because this is also a useful accessory that requires a certain approach. Namely - their competent location in the interior.

So, in order to acquaint you with the rules for placing mirrors in the interior of a room, I have prepared this material.

1.In the bedroom above the "dresser" / bedside table. This technique allows you to solve two problems at once. The first is to visually expand the room. And the second is to organize yourself a real dressing table, at which you can apply makeup. You just have to put the jewelry box, cosmetic bag and other accessories.

Try to mount the mirror on the wall at a height of 1.7 meters - this is the best solution. If you have a high chest of drawers that overlaps this height, then just place the mirror directly on it. That's all!

2.In the living room on the wall / floor. Double benefit again! Allowing not only to emphasize the style of the interior of the room, but also to make it lighter, which means visually more than it really is. It is only necessary to choose the right decorative element, which can be of a non-standard size, unusual shape or with an interesting inlay.

So, for example, if you want to emphasize a minimalistic interior, use a frameless mirror, vintage - hang two mirrors in the form of the sun, etc.

3.In the room above the sofa. A wonderful design technique, with the help of which it is possible both to bring a fashionable decorative touch into the interior, and to focus attention on one or another piece of furniture, in our case - a sofa. After all, it is known to be the visual "center" of the room. At the same time, much is not necessary, it is enough to place one large mirror or several small ones above it, and everything is done!

And it is also desirable that the size of the decorative element does not exceed the width of the sofa. And at the same time, the lower edge of the mirror is located at a height of at least 50 cm above the back, otherwise it will interfere with those sitting.

4.In the hallway here and there. In this space, you cannot do without a mirror. After all, before leaving, you must make sure that everything is in order with your appearance. Therefore, before you hang the mirror, make sure that you have the opportunity to step back and see yourself at full height. This means that the upper edge of the mirror should be at a height slightly higher than your height, approximately 1.7-1.8 meters from the floor.

Well, do not forget that mirrored surfaces tend to increase the limited space, which is extremely useful in small hallways.

5.In the hallway next to the light source. Want to increase and add more light to your dark, cramped hallway? Easy! Hang 1-2 mirrors next to a light source, opposite a window in another room, or opposite each other. This will allow you to make the most of the reflective properties of mirrors.

But be careful, choosing the right angle is important when installing. Otherwise, at night, the glare of the reflected light will fall into the bedroom or nursery, which can irritate and interfere with the quiet rest of the household.
