The Importance of Mirrors in Interior Decor

Mirrors are an undeniably interesting form of Wall Art that add beauty within a space, and also functionality when used with purpose.

 

Mirrors produce the illusion of space - When you place a large mirror in a small space, the room seems to expand and look bigger than it actually is. A well-placed mirror helps to give the appearance of more space. Because it reflects the room, it makes you think that a room is larger than it really is.

Mirrors maximize a room's lighting. A mirror can enhance the lighting in a room. The mirror will reflect light from all sources, whether from the sunlight coming in through the window, lights from lamps, ceiling lights. This tends to increase the brightness in the room and improve the feel of airiness, again also adding to the illusion of more space.
