1. OPPOSITE STATIC ARTISTIC FEATURES
A mirror above an entryway or hallway console may not sound new, however, shifting the positioning to ensure that you will be reflecting something more striking might be. Lauren Lerner, CEO and Founder of Living with Lolo encourages us to use mirrors with artistic purpose.
2. IN CRAMPED CORNERS OF YOUR HOME
Where you place a mirror will depend on your home's needs. Ginger Curtis reminds us of how mirrors visually enhance rooms. 'They can make a room feel larger and brighter, so if a corner of your home is dark and feels cramped, a mirror is a brilliant solution to make your space feel lighter.'
3. AS A DRAMATIC BACKDROP IN A LIVING ROOM
A wall of acid-wash mirrors is a feature in and of itself. Brad Ramsey, the principal and founder of Brad Ramsey Interiors used antiqued bronze mirrors in this living room space to detract attention from the television, and there is no denying that it is doing a fine job.
4. AT THE HEAD OF YOUR DINING ROOM TABLE
A mirror this grand can certainly be a conversation starter, especially when placed at the head of a dining table. 'Another unexpected spot to hang a mirror is in a dining room, where it can reflect the glow of candles and create a cozy ambiance during dinner parties,' shares Erick Garcia.
5. WHERE IT CAN REFLECT BIOPHILIC MOMENTS
Reflecting light is one thing, but mirroring the greenery inside your home can bring a sense of the outdoors into your surroundings and might even promote good Feng Shui above a fireplace, for example.
6. ON A PATIO
Much like a mirror can enhance space in a small or awkward hallway inside, a mirror can add design interest to your outdoor space, too. 'The exterior of the house is often overlooked as a place to hang mirrors, but they can be a beautiful way to reflect greenery and sunlight on a covered porch,' suggests Jamie Young, and we're sure you will agree, that this mirror-polished water wall by David Harber is quite magical, and it might make the perfect reflective surface for a patio.
