7 Tips for Decorating with Mirrors in Your Home

1. Decorative Windows

Mirrors bring light and depth into a room. They are like decorative windows you can move around and place as you like. A vintage mirror, can add glamour and enlarge a room.

2. Mirrored Art

A bold and gorgeous modern mirror can be the focal point of a room. It can serve as a last minute check point as you head out to work. The mirror itself becomes the artwork with minimal set up. 

3. Double the Space

Add mirrors to any space you want to visually expand. Mirrors brighten the room and add dimension.  

4. The Perfect Spot

Mirrors can be placed in every room, but a favorite spot is the entry way. "It's a great place because they create opportunity for creative lighting, candle, pictures, art and reflectivity," designer Amy Bubier says. 

5. Mirror Crazy

Try something new - hang multiple mirrors on the same wall. If you use them together on a wall, you want them to be grouped in a visually-pleasing way. The scale of the wall mirrors should be proportional to each other and to the wall space - avoid using small mirrors on a large wall. 

6. Design Must-Have

Mirrors can add an extra decorative touch to a room. Mirrors can aesthetically enhance an interior with the use of stylish contemporary frames.

7. Add Light

Use mirrors in rooms lacking natural light where they can create a greater impact. "I love to use mirrors in a dining room and light candles which will reflect and create a warm, romantic glow," says designer David Scott.
