How to make a mirror a decoration for the hallway?Where is the best place to place it? When does size and shape matter? We will tell you how to transform your apartment neatly, quickly and inexpensively Even in the smallest hallway, as a rule, there is a place for a mirror. You can “sacrifice” a galosh rack, umbrella stand, pouf, spacious wardrobe or chest of drawers, but you can’t do without a mirror in the hallway. Is it possible to make it not just a functional element, but a real decoration of the hallway? We give practical advice using a selection of photos as an example. Tip # 1. Floor mirror in the hallway Slowly but surely, floor mirrors are winning their place in Russian interiors. Convenient, stylish - they can serve as a bright accent, or just a successful touch in the interior of the hallway.
Tip #2.Mirror on the whole wall Using huge mirrors on the whole wall and built-in wardrobes with mirrored doors is an effective solution that helps to visually expand the space. Typical hallways can hardly be called spacious, so this “trick” is popular.
Tip #3.Mirror of unusual shape For those who love everything creative and non-standard, there are many mirrors of various shapes. Such an unusual mirror will become the highlight of the hallway interior.
Tip #4.Mirror ceiling in the hallway If your hallway has rather low ceilings and you want to visually "raise" them, special mirror ceiling tiles and mirror stretch ceilings will do the trick. Of course, this is not the most common example of using mirror surfaces in the hallway, and it is not suitable for every style, but with professional execution, an impressive result is guaranteed.
Tip #5.Mirror composition Who said that there should be only one mirror in the hallway? Several mirrors placed next to each other can be a great decoration for the hallway. For example, you can choose different mirrors in the same frames or create a composition of mirrors of unusual shapes.
Tip #6.Mirror in a beautiful frame An unusual, beautiful frame can transform even the most modest and inexpressive hallway. Mirrors in carved wooden frames are suitable for classic interiors, mirrors in frames upholstered in leather are suitable for ethnic interiors, and for minimalist interiors you can choose frames of a simple shape, but a non-standard color or with an original texture.
Tip #7.Mirror cabinet Do you think that mirror cabinets belong only in the bathroom? However, they also look great in the hallway, and are also very functional: you can hide keys, clothing and shoe care products, accessories and much more inside.
Tip #8.Mirror as part of a set Perhaps the most common option today is a mirror as part of a set. However, this does not mean that your hallway will be ordinary and dull. The secret is simple: do not choose boring sets - and you will not get boring interiors.
Tip #9.Mirror with additional functions Modern furniture brands offer mirrors for the hallway with various functional additions: shelves, hangers, drawers and hooks. A very stylish and practical solution.
Tip #10. Mirror-pictures For those who can’t decide whether to decorate the hallway with a mirror or a picture, there are mirror-pictures that perform both the main function and a decorative one.
Tip #11.Mirror as part of a decorative composition It is not at all necessary for a mirror to be the key decorative accent of the hallway. It can perfectly complement a composition of paintings, photographs, accessories.
Tip #12. Mirror wall tiles An original solution that adds light to the hallway and expands the space. Perfect for covering the entire wall and for decorative niches.
Tip #13.Mirrors and lighting Light sources and mirrors are a wonderful and harmonious union. Mirrors with lighting and lamps located next to the mirror are great for decorating the hallway.
Tip #14.Mirrored furniture, accessories This year's trend is mirrored furniture and interior items. Why not use them in the hallway? Mirrored cabinets and chests of drawers, mirrored shelves and hangers - furniture brands offer a lot of interesting and reflective things!
Tip #15.Several identical mirrors A simple and stylish way to decorate the hallway with mirrors is to choose several identical (or almost identical) ones. Symmetry always attracts the eye and adds sophistication to the interior.
Svetlana Ostashova, interior designer:— A mirror is an important functional and decorative element of the hallway. There are many options for mirrors for different interior styles. But in my opinion, one of their main functions is to play with space. Depending on the configuration of the hallway, you can make the room more elongated or increase the height, for example. From a psychological point of view, it is not recommended to place a mirror opposite the front door, as well as opposite another mirror: a “corridor” visually appears, which creates discomfort and causes a feeling of slight anxiety. I also advise you not to overdo it: remember that mirrors can not only visually expand, but also “break” space. ameranet.com, geschenkebuddy.de, acova.fr, edilportale.com, casadipatsi.gr, kerriekelly.com, sinkevich.info, freezewall.com, r-glass.com.br, korbel-kuchyne.cz, irohu.com, arqhys.com, expert-furniture.com, eljewell-interior.com, denelli.co.uk, decorclub.de, fi, artdano.by, a-3.od.ua, liveceramica.com, 2014interiordesignarticle.com, ,g.infor.pl, bardella.it, casavogue.gr
