We all know mirrors can make a room appear bigger than its actual size but in order to achieve that you must know how to use one. One of the most common mistakes made by folks using a small mirror or a group of small mirrors will make their room look bigger, which definitely seems not to work, Instead one should use a single large mirror.
After determining that now the major questions are?
- Where should you hang your mirror in order to achieve its full potential?
- What kind of frame should you use in your mirror?
- Which shape is the best?
Here are tricks that you should use to make sure your mirror does the magic;
- Think big but go small on the frame.
When it comes to mirrors the larger the better since it will expand your visual space, this is as long as you stick with a simple frame.
- Get the height right.
The right spot for placement of your mirror should be at the average person’s eye level which is roughly 60 inches from the center of the mirror to the floor and in case you have some wall art, the mirror and the wall art should be hanging at the same level.
- Pair a mirror with a light source.
According to Will Taylor a design pro, this trick will not only boosts the brightness in your room but also add atmosphere and dimension.
- Take the mirror outside.
I know it sounds silly, but it’s true a large mirror on the balcony makes you outdoor look larger in the same way it would indoors.
