By using mirrors we can make our home a sort of large and bright palace, visually tripling the spaces of the apartment.
Sometimes the space in the house is what it is. But our perception does not always coincide with physical reality. Architects and interior designers have always played on this gap between the perceived and the real resort to stratagems such as furnishing the house with mirrors.
The reason for using mirrors in home furnishings goes well beyond the immediately decorative purpose: a mirror positioned in the right place is able to create the illusion of having more space available. Not to mention the gain in brightness.
How to make our home a kind of kingdom by furnishing it with mirrors
As we said, However, the mirrors must be positioned in a certain way to optimally exploit their “illusory” potential. In this way we will be able to transform our home into a larger, welcoming and brighter space. A true realm thanks to the mirror on the wall! But how to best use the magic of mirrors?
This is how mirrors give the optical illusion of depth – designmag.it
To make a room seem bigger, it’s best to first place a mirror in front of the window: especially in small or poorly lit spaces (such as entrances or corridors) it will be able to reflect natural light, illuminating the environment and creating depth.
Size matters too: a large mirror, perhaps positioned on a free wall, can visually double the space of a room. Let’s not talk about the mirror game: placing two or more mirrors in front of each other a space multiplier effect will be created. Ideal for long and narrow spaces. Excellent idea too enhance dark and little-used areas such as the corners of the house with a mirror. The mirror in the corner helps to illuminate the room, giving the illusion of a room larger than life. Even better if we place an angular mirror, which will allow us to optimize the spaces.
Mirrors are naturally not only used to expand spaces, but also to decorate your home with style and personality. We pay attention to positioning them strategically. To do this we will have to carefully consider natural light, the arrangement of the furniture in the house and, of course, the size of the room. Then pay attention to the shape and size of the mirrors, essential to obtain the desired effect. By placing an oval mirror in a square room, for example, we will soften its lines. A rectangular mirror can give impetus to a low space.
