Using mirrors in interior design is one of the easiest ways to change a space. From simple reflectance to the
accentuation of light to changing the apparent space of a room, mirrors can make or break a space...
no pun intended. They can serve as a wall treatment, a decorative accent, and even the cladding for furniture.
One of the newest configurations are modular mirrors. Whether you fit them together or space them apart for
interest, you can use them as both art and a space enhancer. Framed or unframed, mirrors can visually expand
or reduce the space in a room. Consider a small dark room. Hanging a wall mirror to capture light from a
window, doorway or floor lamp can visually increase the space. On the other hand, when used in a small bathroom reflecting a unattractive wall filled with towels and shelving, the space can seem cluttered and small.
Here are five tips for mirror placement that you can try to accentuate your decor.
