How often do we think about what magicthings you can do with the interior using mirrors? Our selection contains a huge number of ideas, you will surely find those that you will like and decorate your interior. A mirror is an amazing thing with a centuries-old history. They have long and firmly taken their place - no apartment, fitting rooms in stores, hotels and airports can do without them. In addition to their basic reflective qualities, mirrors can visually increase space, add light to the room and create various optical illusions. They can really magically transform the interior (without requiring large financial costs). Here are just a few ways.
1. Illusion of space
Even a small and dark room canlook bigger and brighter with mirrors. It is important to remember the basic rule: vertical mirrors stretch the space, and horizontal ones expand it. It is best to hang a mirror on a wall perpendicular to the window, having previously studied how the sun's rays will be reflected from it and whether the mirror will create unnecessary glare. This arrangement will give the room more light and air. If the mirrors are hung at an angle, an unpleasant feeling of distortion of space may arise. Therefore, before hanging a mirror, check what exactly will be reflected in it and whether you like it. Also, experts do not recommend hanging mirrors opposite doors.
2. Furniture with mirror coating
It can be any furniture, for example,coffee table or chest of drawers. Even an old coffee mug will sparkle if it sits on a smooth mirror surface. It is not necessary to cover the entire surface of the furniture with mirrors, it is enough to simply make the tabletop or legs mirrored.

In this bedroom, there is a hidden secret behind the mirror.a spacious medicine cabinet. Such a large mirror adds a sense of space to the room, and the cabinet itself now looks like a piece of modern art.
5. Artificial pond
What to do if you really want to create something in your gardena small lake? Changing the ecosystem is not the best option. But we can create a pond using a mirror without disturbing or spoiling anything. A small water pool will reflect the sky, plants and tree branches. Just like a real one, only you can’t swim in it. To avoid damaging the edges of the mirror, mask them with an even layer of river rocks of different sizes and colors to imitate a rocky beach. Such a “pond” can be in the house.
6. Mirror window
There are no windows in the room at all, they are small,or are they not enough for you? No problem. It is not difficult at all to create a new window. You just need to decide on the size, shape and color of the frame. Such windows can be decorated in any way you like: hang curtains, make windowsills and even put flower pots on them.
Our opinion:— Mirror imitation of a window in the interior is an interesting design solution. It looks fresh and unusual, and can change depending on the season. In summer, it adds light and a sense of lightness to the interior, and in winter, during the New Year holidays, it performs a decorative function.
7. Optical illusion
Self-taught stylist Sasha Antic deftlyadded a strip of mirror to a section of wall in my small kitchen, and the space instantly almost doubled in size. Such things can easily be made by hand. A mirror cut to the required size is glued to the wall with special glue using a construction gun. The glue can be purchased at a hardware store.
8. Mirror kitchen
This idea can be implemented in small ones too.houses. You need a regular kitchen island, the base of which is covered with mirrors. If you do not have an island, you can add mirrors to the fronts of the cabinets or to the baseboard.
Our opinion: - When you look at the implementation of this idea, you get really unusual feelings. The massive furniture seems to float in the air. It looks like a magician's trick.

A practical, convenient and very beautiful solution. Easy to clean and shines beautifully. And also gives a sense of a festive atmosphere.

The architects proposed an interesting solution:Added mirrors under the stairs. What used to look like a dark closet is now bright and airy (not to mention there's functional storage space inside).

It is there, and at the same time there is a feeling of its absence. Plus, the mirror wall hides the kitchen work area behind it and gives the room a lot of light.
12. Mirrors in the bedroom
The great thing about mirrors in bedrooms is that theyyours and only yours. No one will ask you to look in the mirror if you sleep for a long time and then decide to take your time getting dressed and tidying yourself up after sleep.
13. Mirror-wardrobe
A full-length mirror is a must in the bedroom for planning your daily wardrobe, as well as choosing dresses for a party or the right tie to go with your shirt.
14. Mirrors in the dining room
A large mirror fits perfectly into a dining room in a classic and modern style and adds a festive touch to the dinners that take place here.
Our opinion:— Pay attention to the lamps. They were chosen to match the solid mirrors — crystal, massive, heavy. And they are all mounted low so that their light reflects in the mirrors and casts glare.
15. Mirrors in the bathroom
Mirrors in the bathroom serve a clear purposepurpose, like brushing your teeth, combing your hair, shaving, putting on makeup. But that doesn't mean they can't be luxury items. If you mount two inexpensive mirrored cabinets side by side, they'll create one continuous, seamless surface, giving you a beautiful look without breaking the bank.
16. Breakfast corner
Mirrors act here as a means to separate a cozy corner for breakfast, reflection or conversation in a large and open space.
17. Corner mirrors
I would like to draw special attention to them. In small, cramped and dark rooms, corner mirrors are almost the only possible option to increase the area, at least visually.
