Everything you need to know about the use of mirrors in decoration

Mirrors are a key object for any style of decoration in homes, hotels, shops and restaurants. We no longer expect to see them only in the bathroom but in the most unexpected places. We no longer ask for functionality only but also to decorate, create optical effects and transmit special sensations.

The decorative shapes of the mirror, its function and its potential make this object as essential as windows, doors or furniture such as tables. However, decorating with mirrors is not as simple as may seem. Sometimes, they’re placed in impractical spaces and it isn’t possible to get the most out of them.

Our 3 benefits of mirrors in decoration

Among all the benefits that we can mention of a mirror we will focus on three. First of all, its ability to generate a feeling of greater spaciousness, which is key especially in small interiors. For example, if it’s placed on the floor and slightly tilted, the ceiling will look higher.

Secondly, a mirror strategically placed close to a source of natural light will reflect it, bringing more light to the interior. Finally, its decorative role helps to strengthen the aesthetics and the style of decoration that you want to impose in a specific space in line with the other pieces of furniture.
