Options for using mirrors in the interior of the apartment

Consider in what form the mirror is most often used when decorating a living room:

• Often found and elegantly looks in any room type of decoration, which is a completely monolithic one-piece mirror panel. Such decorative walls from a continuous mirror can afford housing owners of decent size. In small rooms - even in the bedroom, even in the hallway - the design in the form of a solid mirror panel does not look as impressive.
• Appropriate tiles can decorate the room, give it a stylish look. Correctly located tiles will make the room very interesting and luxuriously decorated. And if you use a mosaic - solid or as a panel - then it can make your bathroom look like a disco bar. Such a stylistic technique with decorative tiles is found in the design of apartments of stylish and active youth.
• Decorative cabinet doors are the most common way to use mirror paintings in the design of modern apartments. This decor is perfect for those who do not allow the space of the house to occupy a separate wall under the mirror. You can also successfully use in this case, and mirror wallpaper.
• Framed mirrors are also still a popular method. This is the oldest design option. Now on sale you can find various options for mirrors in frames: both floor and wall, can be purchased without frames. They will look great in the hallway, and in the bedroom, and in the kitchen. It all depends on the design of a particular room and material capabilities. Moreover, the frames can even be plastic - modern materials can be very stylish in this design. Even the mirror wall in the living room in this version will look great.

How to better place a mirror wall

If you have firmly decided that you need a mirror wall, then it will be useful to find out a few rules that will help you implement this design with the least material and aesthetic losses:

• Do not place large pieces of furniture near the mirror panel, as well as huge plastic structures - paintings, installations. Reflecting, bulky and massive furniture will make your room visually narrower and much smaller than it actually is. It is better if the mirror panel reflects the free space. Then visually it will seem that the room is twice as large. This technique is especially in demand in a narrow corridor.
• If the mirror wall reflects light sources, for example, a chandelier, sconces, other lamps, this will make the room more comfortable, bright. Also, this design will add visual space to the room. Also, if the window is reflected, this will also make the room more spacious and bright. But only if the window is to the right or left of the mirror. If it is directly opposite, then there will be no such effect.
• Do not place one panel opposite the other or a mirror wall opposite some structures with the same elements - for example, if you use mosaic and wallpaper. Such a complex distortion can produce an undesirable effect of space curvature. And purely psychologically it would be undesirable to be in such a room - even in the bedroom, even in the hallway, even in the kitchen. Hallucinations, distortion of perception and other adverse effects can even begin.
• If there is a need to get a complete overview, including from the back (such a need happens, for example, in dressing rooms), then in this case, it is better to place decorative floor mirrors in the frame opposite the mirror wall or cabinet. Tiling or murals will be inappropriate here.
• It is not recommended to make a mirror design in a narrow room or corridor. In this case, you can only achieve the effect of an even greater narrowing of the space.
• Any elements splitting the whole canvas like frames, battens, mosaics, wallpaper visually reduce and distort the room in the apartment. Therefore, it is necessary to fix such plastic and wooden elements on the walls very evenly, otherwise you will find yourself in the kingdom with curved mirrors.

Where does the mirror wall look best in the interior?

• Mirrored options are great when the bathroom needs decoration. Using individual elements of the mirror panel, you can achieve a strong effect. Best in the interior of the bathroom will look like tiles covered with a touch of patina. This gives the room a certain vintage and gives the effect of antiquity. It is better to use plastic frames here - they are not afraid of water and look stylish.
• In the bedroom, the mirror design looks best at the head of the bed. In order to choose the right size of the mirror in this case, start from the size of the bed. A huge bed of royal sizes is quite “pulling” and an equally huge mirror design. Conversely, a modest sized bed will look good next to the same panel.
• Individual items at the head of the bed, decorated with baguette frames, will also be an excellent choice for the bedroom. Moreover, if the bedroom is in bright colors, then the dark frames will become a stylish decor. You can even use plastic for the frames, but painted in wood.
• In places where guests gather and spend the whole family, for example, in living rooms, the kitchen, mirror decor should be placed carefully. Since revitalization, walking, and activity are often observed in such rooms, many mirrors can create a flickering effect, and everyone present will ripple in the eyes. Therefore, in living rooms, designers recommend placing mirrors behind sofas and armchairs.
• A great place where a mirrored wall can be used is the entrance hall. In the hallway, a lot of people rarely gather at once, so you can use any mirrors of any size and shape - tiles of different shapes, special panels, and any other design will do.

How not to do

How not to make out the room:

• Do not place dark gloomy objects, black furniture, etc. in front of the mirrored walls. This can increase the impression of gloom in the room.
• Do not place a mirror wall in the corridor opposite the front door. It is also undesirable to have mirrors, especially large ones, opposite the bed.

In conclusion: be careful when working with mirror elements. Coating sheets are very fragile, but, in addition, also quite dangerous. Careless handling can result in a rather painful and dangerous injury. It is best if the mirror wall is mounted by professionals. In this case, you will be guaranteed a quick and high-quality construction without losses and unpleasant consequences. The same applies if you use mosaic or special wallpaper.
