The ideas of using mirrors in interior design, set out below, are able not only to decorate your house, but also to transform it. Mirror furniture, full-wall mirrors, mirrors in the bathroom and much more - more than two dozen ways to use mirrors to create the illusion of space, accenting the proportions, reflecting the light and giving more charm to your decor.
1. Mirror as an architectural tool
The decoration of the alcoves with mirror glass creates an illusion that makes one think that the chimney is located right in the middle of the room. The interior of the room, reflected in the mirrors, allows it to seem much more spacious and lighter.
2. A large window between windows
Two large windows all over the wall fill this room with light. A large mirror in an elegant frame makes you look up, emphasizing the height of the ceiling and the architectural details of the design.
3. Mirror over the fireplace
The soft, muted tones used by the decorator in this living room are reflected from the mirror surfaces of the fireplace - the focal point of the room - and create graphic reflections. This arrangement of mirrors - directly in front of the window - makes the room much lighter.
4. The door decorated with a mirror mosaic
In this house, the designer separated the kitchen from the dining room with a door decorated with a mosaic of aged mirrors. When the door is closed, it seems like a regular wall mirror.
5. Maximum windows in the bathroom
Mirrors - an effective assistant in many complex situations associated with decoration. They can visually make room space twice as much, emphasize the proportions of interior elements in a spacious room, create an "additional" space, reflect both natural and artificial light or candlelight, and give attractiveness and spectacularity to the entire room or an inconspicuous corner. Mirrors can be arranged in groups or separately, have an absolutely flat surface or a cunning inlay. They can even become an art object when they are decorated with patina, engraving, painting, ehlomise technique or other decoration.
In this bathroom, the designer used smooth mirror panels, located at different angles with respect to each other, to create a kaleidoscopic effect.
6. The mirror wall in the living room
The designer gave the architecture of this room an art deco style a new character with the help of a wall decoration with built-in wardrobes with aged mirror glass.
7. Making the table with mirror paper
London designer Emma Piskod combines traditional ehlomize technique with fine Japanese wax paper to create modern decorative finishes for interior and architectural projects. A unique mirror finish from Emma can transform anything from a small piece of furniture to an interior in general.
8. Mirror mosaic in the bathroom
Finishing specialist Dominic Schuster and designer Hugh Griffith joined forces to create these aged mirror wall panels for the bathroom. The reverse side of the mirror panels is finished with a cloth with a pattern, which resulted in the unique effect of the antique glass.
9. Mature mirror over the fireplace
The designer of this room added a vintage charm to the linear, graphic decoration of the interior of the room, having hung on the wall a large panel of patinated mirror glass.
10. Antique mirror in the wall
Hallways can be tight, similar to a closed box, but such a cleverly arranged patinated mirror panel with eglomise finish makes the space of the room much more open and stylish.
11. Industrial convex mirrors
Make a little surrealism in the interior design, using a few large convex mirrors in an industrial style.
12. Mirror made up of different pieces
This panel, consisting of several small mirrors, combines an aged mirror glass and a glass with an eGlomise finish to create an unusual reflection.
13. Mirror-prism
And this mirror repeats the geometric shape of the prism, creating a similar effect of light flares.
14. Convex mirrors in the corners of the room
One of the greatest masters of using convex mirrors in the interior was the architect of the XIX century. John Soon - he used them to manipulate the light and create optical illusions. In his London home, now turned into a museum, there are many mirrors that can illuminate even the darkest corners. If the interior of your house is not the same as this one, the curved mirrors will make it even more interesting.
15. Vintage mirrors from floor to ceiling
Six thin mirrored panels with a gold-plated frame, arranged in a row on a dark wall, create a fragmented reflection of the interior - a ready-made effective decor element in itself.
16. Mirror wall above the fireplace
The designer of this living room used the fireplace and fireplace chimneys with mirror panels as an alternative to the traditional mirror above the mantelpiece. Creating a sense of open airspace, mirrors reflect walls that are not occupied by shelves.
17. A large mirror next to the stairs
In this hallway one of the walls is occupied by a large mirror consisting of two inclined panels. In a rather narrow, cramped room, the mirror magically opens the walls, makes the ceiling higher, creating the illusion of space, and reflects the staircase and the living room opposite.
18. Three large floor mirrors in massive frames
Reasonably located three mirrors in massive frames in the living room, from the windows of which you can see the magnificent scenery, the designer gave the opportunity to each of them to reflect part of this landscape, making the room even more spacious and open.
19. Large street lights in front of the mirror
The composition of several hanging lights, reflected in the mirror next to it, doubles the impressive effect, surprising in the afternoon and fascinating in the dark.
20. Mirrors of the sun
The area above the mantelpiece in this living room is decorated with a group of vintage mirrors in the form of stars. They look particularly stylish in the neighborhood of the paintings.
21. A bunch of small mirrors in unusual frames
This cozy bedroom with an interior executed in a neutral range, boasts a lot of curious details, including a magnificent composition of mirrors in wicker frames above the bed.
22. Mirror directly above the bathroom
Make a bath focal point of the bathroom interior, choosing for her an individual style of decoration, and hanging a mirror over it.
23. A lot of mirrors right next to the front door
These vintage mirrors not only have a creative effect - they also create the illusion of a larger space and fill the room with light: what you need in a narrow corridor.
24. Mirror in the window
Mirrors are not only for the interior and can look great, hiding among the green plants on the garden fence. This wonderful mirror creates the illusion of a window.
