Mirrors are a wonderful way to open your small space or fill in a big one. They contain history, character, and add a unique aesthetic to homes and offices. In fact, most people know modern mirrors have popularly shaped our homes and interior design since the 19th century, but their popularity can actually be dated as far back as 8,000 years<\/a><\/span> ago. Mirrored furniture doesn’t go out of style. Additionally, it can be confidently seen in most (if not all) homes and businesses and will likely hang around another 8,000 years or more.<\/p>\n

There are several sizes and shapes at\u00a0Ft. Myers furniture store<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to choose from to spruce up your office, bedroom, living room, and even kitchen. There are just a few helpful tips for decorating with mirrors that you should know before making any purchases.<\/p>\n

Placement, Shape, and Size<\/h2>\n

When considering what mirror to purchase, you’ll want to keep in mind its shape, size, and potential placement. All three elements work together to create the design and aesthetic appeal you want to achieve.<\/p>\n

Size can be a great way to enhance a room and accent its atmosphere. For instance, multiple small pieces can tie in other decorations in the room, while one large mirror brings balance.<\/p>\n

Shapes are a great way to add character and one-of-a-kind appeal to your interior design. If art pieces are similar, your space might look too simplistic or “orderly” instead of fun and trendy. Consider the art you already have in the room and think of adding circles, ovals, and large rectangular mirrors to your design.<\/p>\n

Natural lighting and reflection are the two most advantageous elements added to your space. By placing a big mirror adjacent to a window, you can add natural lighting to a space. On the other hand, by placing it in the perfect spot, you can also reflect some incredible accent pieces in the room and enhance their importance.<\/p>\n

The Spruce<\/span><\/a>\u00a0says to put a lot of consideration in placement because when a mirror is “hung opposite an important architectural element, painting, or piece of furniture it will give that item even more importance\u2014as it will if hung across form something unattractive.”<\/p>\n

The More, The Better<\/h2>\n

Some people may think one is enough, but design experts are saying otherwise. While one is certainly better than none, experts at\u00a0Apartment Therapy<\/a><\/span>\u00a0explain that “more is more,” and by adding multiple mirrors to your design, you can “fill up a bedroom wall, particularly if you don’t have enough space in your bathroom for larger pieces.”<\/p>\n

You can mix and match sizes and styles for more in-depth character and style. Mirrors are no longer\u00a0just\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>a way of seeing our reflection, but a reflection of our unique spaces and interests.<\/p>\n

Art and Accent Pieces<\/h2>\n

Mirrors bring a significant amount of personality to a room, but they’re not meant to do it alone. Their ability to reflect the best parts of your accent pieces make them the perfect addition to a room. This doesn’t mean you need a million-dollar piece of art reflected in your mirror. Rather, you need small combinations of plants and accent pieces.<\/p>\n

Elle Decor<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>recommends “an assortment of hand-blown vases” in front of a large mantel mirror or beautiful “ginger jars, platters, and bowls” on a cabinet beneath a large hued mirror. The key is to find your favorite combination of decor and add a mirror to your design.<\/p>\n
