While they serve a functional purpose, mirrors are equally decorative accessories that have a place in every room of a house, from the bathroom to the living room to the entryway. However, finding the right mirror to complement the overall ambiance is not always easy.
Need some ideas? Here are a few examples where the selected mirror is in perfect harmony with the home’s style and decor. In some rooms, they are so imposing as to dominate the space in which they hang while in others they act as an understated accent. But they look fabulous either way!
A Light Touch
The right fit for this room where white and wood tones predominate is a mirror that blends into the background. This is achieved by choosing one with a very thin or invisible frame. In the above example, the eye is only drawn to the mirror because of its oval shape (very trendy this year). This standing mirror’s elongated design makes it easy to look yourself over from head to toe before you leave for work in the morning or to ensure you are stunning for a special night out. Notice how it has been positioned to reflect the nice headboard. It’s always a good idea to place mirrors where they can reflect a visually striking feature.
A Classy Trio
Some will be bothered by the fact that the third mirror is a different shape than the other two. However, most interior design experts will tell you that in this instance it’s the right choice. By filling the remaining space with other accessories like the plant, lamps and seating, the decor is visually pleasing and well balanced.
Straight Nordic Style
Scandi-inspired bathrooms are quite popular: they offer a calming, light, and streamlined look. While curved lines lend themselves well to this interior design style, right angles look just as great! For example, in this bathroom almost all the corners are square. The rectangular light wood-framed mirror both enhances the decor and adds visual interest.
Why Not on the Floor?
The brick wall is certainly the focal point of this room. The next thing one notices is the carved gold-framed mirror. Placed directly onto the floor, this chic accessory helps create a relaxed atmosphere. We love it! And combined with the low table and plant, it forms a well-planned triad of decorative objects.
Getting Ready for Your Close Up
Are you lucky enough to have your own special dedicated dressing area, in a bedroom or a walk-in closet, for example? A mirror with integrated lights is indispensable! Not only does it provide soft and flattering illumination, but it is also useful for ensuring your final look and outfit are up to scratch. This type of mirror also adds a touch of Hollywood glamour to the space.
All About Curves
This space wouldn’t be as pretty without the leafy garland securely tucked into this deep frame. This creates a romantic accent that complements the overall decor’s cottagecore aesthetic. Note the use of emerald green on the wall as a punch of colour.
A Harmonious Addition
Here two medium-sized mirrors have been arranged on either side of the bed—on each bedside table. Their wood frame adds a touch of warmth to the room and their classic shape complements the rest of the furniture. If a brighter and more modern bedroom should be desired, they would just need to be painted white. The effect will be all the more pleasing thanks to the golden accents provided by the lamp base and pillow.
Mirrors look great everywhere in the home! Plus, they make the space feel bigger, reflect light, and enhance the existing ambiance. Don’t hesitate to add them to all your rooms!
