Mirror Mirror
on the wall … or floor, or cupboard
Like the addition of colour within a space, mirrors when positioned well can change the shape and focus of a room.
There are the practical mirrors in
our bathrooms, bedrooms or entries, however a mirrored surface has so many
more uses.
One of the qualities of a mirrored wall, object or framed piece can be to
bounce light into a dark space. If you
place it slightly off to the left or right it will
reflect a greater amount of light into the space, instead of straight back out the
window.
Working on a small apartment block required every trick from the bag to make these spaces
livable and lovable. Each consisted of an entry, small bathroom, 3m
kitchen that opened into the main living area and
2 bedrooms off to the side…yes, these were
compact spaces.
Through the use of colour and mirrors we were able to visually impact these
spaces to add light and the feeling of height and drama.
As you entered the bathroom the
entire wall was covered in a
frameless mirror, floor to ceiling.

In the main area we mirrored the large sliding door to the main bedroom.
This created the illusion that the living area drifted off into another living room, all while
bouncing more light into the compact space.

Then to finish it off as you exited the main
living area we positioned a mirror on the wall to the entry
area, which again widened the opening
before exiting through the delightfully
coloured room with the beautiful pendant.Source: houzz.com
Yes mirrors, when used
thoughtfully can add drama, light and the
feeling of space to any room.
Mirrors can be installed behind
shelving, into door panels or as kitchen
splash backs.
Framed mirrors can be rested on the floor,
hung as a pair either side of a fireplace,
grouped as a gallery wall, hung above
a bed or sofa.
Now, if you have completed your décor
and forgotten to incorporate the
humble, yet dynamic mirror –
no worries, just add a mirrored vessel or coffee/side table to
again see the fabulous effects of introducing a
mirrored surface to your decor mix.
