All About Mirrors

Looking for a way to add some oomph to your home? Try strategically placing mirrors where art would go, and watch your room appear to grow. Mirrors are stylish, functional, and have the extra benefit of making a space look larger.

There are plenty of options when it comes to modern mirrors. You can go for the traditional rectangular mirror with or without a frame, and hang it slightly higher than the center of a wall. However, many designers have created mirrors that break out of the status quo and shine as works of art.

Textured mirrors are something you could consider. You can find leather frames that feature snakeskin texture, or go straight for the eye-catching textured glass itself. Mirrors don’t have to provide a true-to-life reflection to be useful, and mirrors that are textured like the oddly shaped mirror pictured above will be more stunning than their flat counterparts.

Playing with shapes is also an option with incorporating a mirror into your home. They come in the traditional rectangle, of course, but you can also find circular, square, triangular and irregular shaped mirrors that will add a little spice.

Consider the placement of your mirror – is it centered? Does it compliment its surroundings? You can place a mirror on a blank wall to give it some character, or hang one above a couch for good measure.

Mirrors offer endless customization and intrigue, so start reflecting on which type is best for your home today.
