The lack of square meters is not so much an inconvenience as an opportunity to show your own creative abilities, for example, by correctly placing mirrors in the house
The mirror was and remains one of the mostmystical interior items. There are many signs and beliefs of varying degrees of adequacy associated with it. However, there are also quite practical tips on using mirror surfaces in the interior. We will focus on them today.
A large mirror enclosed in an old window frameframe, will create the impression of a passage into another room, thus adding depth to the surrounding space. The key point in this case is to achieve a stylistic match between the mirror "opening" and the rest of the interior.
Several well-shaped mirrors in simple, minimalist frames that take up most of the wall will look especially relevant in dining areas.
A more stylish version of the same technique is long horizontal mirrors in thin frames.
Vertical mirrors placed on both sides of the bed will help to “push apart” the walls in a small bedroom.
A stylish and very unusual technique is a huge round mirror placed in the corner of a room with a complete lack of wall decor. Consider a slight hint of a hobbit's dwelling a bonus.
In a tiny hallway, a large mirror, dressed in a wide frame in the same color as the floor, will create the feeling of a passage into an additional room, thereby visually enlarging the hallway.
A stylish and at the same time easy solution is to “sew up” one of the walls with patinated mirror panels.
If a small living room has a fireplace with a chimney, the walls on either side of it can be safely covered with mirrors; in this case, the living room will visually increase at least twice as much.
Don't forget about wardrobes with mirrored sliding doors, they also do a great job of expanding space.
A “crooked” mirror gives a double effect – expansion and decoration.
In this example, the segmented mirror surface matches the floorboard, tying the interior together while increasing its volume.
A mirror opposite a window is not a bad sign at all, but an excellent technique for expanding and increasing natural light.
Another effective expanding technique is a mirror opposite the accent wall. This creates the complete illusion of a window.
It is best to install a mirror-window opposite the dining table. And don’t listen to superstitious people!
A window on the street? Why not? A small courtyard needs extra space as desperately as a living room.
