Using Mirrors to Create Space

Tests have demonstrated that people who have mirrors spaced around the house tend to get on better in life and exhibit more confidence. helping build one’s self-confidence, mirrors help you with interior decorating issues, particularly if you do not have much space to play around with.

Interior decorators may advise you to hang a large wall mirror if you want to give the illusion of additional space. If it is a case of a partition that is not as large as you might like it to be and you’re not enamoured at the idea of breaking partitions or changing the entire furniture with something that should make the room seem wider, a few well-positioned whole-wall mirrors could very well do the trick. By reflecting the whole room, mirrors will give the impression that there is double the space.

But, you cannot just go placing mirrors anywhere you feel like it. Mirrors will not do any good if large pieces of furniture are blocking them, for instance. Pick a wall that will give people fewer opportunities to see the reflections because this could reduce the effect of space you’re trying to create - across from some fine oak bookcases could be an excellent location.

Of course, mirrors are integral with some pieces of furniture in some rooms - vanity sinks, for example, will have a mirror to increase the sense of space.

To create the most spacious effect, study how the room is arranged and find those parts of it that are not opposite where people will sit. Remember that the mirrors need not cover the entire wall surface, just the entire height. If you do it right, your floor-to-ceiling mirrors can give the illusion that there are entrances into other rooms, generating the illusion of extra space.
