It is difficult to imagine an apartment in which there was not a single mirror. The practical qualities of this amazing invention are difficult to overestimate, but modern interior designers use mirrors to create unusual effects.
With the help of mirrors, you can expand the boundaries of the space of your apartment, change the color scheme, emphasize the game of light or just stylishly design the wall.
Types of mirrors in the interior
Now a large selection of mirrors for decorating an apartment is offered, but among them you can distinguish several main types:
Wall mirrors are the most common type. With their help, it is easiest to expand the boundaries of the room.
Floor mirrors similar role. Many of them have a special anti -suggestion layer, as they are easier to hurt.
Ceiling mirrors – a very unusual and spectacular reception. With their help, you can visually “raise” the ceiling, as well as add more light due to reflections.
Table mirrors are located on the surfaces in the room: on the table, chest of drawers, bedside table or coffee table. They are well suited to emphasize a separate zone and give it chamber and comfort.
Placement of mirrors
The number of mirror location options is limited only by your imagination! So that they successfully emphasize the advantages of the premises, several simple rules must be observed:
Pay attention to the shape of the mirror. If it has the correct shape (square, round, etc.D.), it is better to place it in a frame that corresponds to your interior style. For mirrors of a non -standard shape of the frame, it is not necessary to use. The only room-exclusive room is the bathroom. Regardless of the shape of the mirror, it is allowed to be placed without designing in a frame.
When creating a wall mirror composition, it is better to choose 5-6 small mirrors. Placing them in the same frames, you will achieve unity and integrity.
Do not forget about the lighting of the room, because all the glare from light sources will be reflected in the mirrors. Pick up the right angle for the mirror to avoid sharp light spots.
Take into account the reflection of the person who will approach the mirrors. Leave about one and a half meters of free space in front of the mirror. Do not have mirror compositions too high or too low – their center should be at the face level.
Tips for accommodation in rooms
A room where you can show the most creativity in interior design is a living room. Here you can choose any options consistent with the style of the room. One of the traditional solutions is a large elongated mirror above the sofa.
The mirrors in the bedroom are most often placed on the cabinet doors – this saves space and adds functionality. Also a good way to decorate the sleeping one is to place a mirror over a double bed.
The kitchen is not the most standard place for the location of the mirror, but it will help to emphasize the desired area. The only advice: try not to hang mirrors above the working surfaces, this will lead to their frequent pollution.
In the bathroom, the mirror will not be just a decoration – it will help you put yourself in order. For classic bathrooms, rectangular mirrors are suitable, for a more vintage style – oval.
In the hallway, the mirror asks itself: to look into it – for many a mandatory ritual before leaving the house! Beautiful vertical mirrors are suitable here. If the hallway is too narrow, the mirror will make it more spacious.
Wherever you put mirrors, remember that this is a very powerful tool for converting the interior. Experiment, and your imagination will tell you successful finds and interesting ideas!
