Alexey Essi-Ezing, creative director of the boutiqueinterior solutions "CEOffice": - Thanks to Peter I, the mirror has ceased to be the embodiment of sin and narcissism, legalizing the opportunity for graceful ladies to correct their hair right in the carriage. As for the design, every year the functionality of mirror elements is expanding, giving designers an even greater flight of imagination in the synthesis of textures. For example, a mirror is surprisingly recommended in small rooms - its presence expands the space. That is why a mirrored wall is considered the simplest technique in order to visually increase the size of the room. However, the mirrored ceiling is a controversial point. If you absolutely cannot refuse it, then do not do it even in the bedroom - it is believed that during sleep nothing should reflect the sleeping person. 
Mirror in the hallway If you are indoubts where to hang the mirror, then choose the corridor. This room is perfect for him. For a narrow room, oblong large shapes are better. Our opinion: - For the visual expansion of the room, it will be good if the mirror takes up most of the space. Mirror in the kitchen Mirrors are rarely used here, only as complementary decorative accents. In a small kitchen, you can make a mirrored apron. Mirror in the living room This room is versatile. It can use mirrors of different shapes and sizes. Custom mirrors act as works of art, as well as accents and decorations in the interior. And if you place a mirror opposite the window along the entire wall, then additional square meters are visually provided to you. 
Bathroom mirror As the room is usuallysmall, it is better to use the entire surface of one wall. Do not place large mirrors in frames in order not to reduce the space. Mirror in the bedroom The lack of square meters in the bedrooms is compensated by the mirrors installed on the wardrobes. If it is not possible to fit a wardrobe, then a floor mirror installed opposite the window will do. So the light, reflected in it, will create the illusion of a second window. Alexey Essi-Ezing, creative director of the boutique of interior solutions "CEOffice": - Vintage mirrors in massive, naturally aged frames of various shapes and sizes are now especially popular. They can be seen in respectable living rooms or bathrooms, made in the art deco style, as well as in Provence or shabby chic country houses. In this context, a mirror is an absolutely independent element, easily replacing a picture or photo frames. Such antiques for every taste and wallet are sold at flea markets in Europe, or they can be ordered online.
