Large Mirrors

In any space, a large mirror adds depth and spaciousness to a room; even it is primarily an illusion. Not only are mirrors used for reflecting images, whether of people or the room itself, but also they are also essential in adding a larger feel to a small space.

By carefully placing a large wall mirror, the space can grow exponentially. In fact, sometimes by placing mirrors on opposite walls, the room will look boundless. Large wall mirrors are best for this effect, while large floor mirrors still work best in closets or bathrooms for wardrobe checks.

Large framed mirrors are very current right now, and depending on the frame, can really be a nice accent piece while at the same time adding functionality to a room. A large framed mirror in a dining room, for instance, will add ambiance while entertaining and can reflect the charm of the room, especially if candles and crystal are used. It will appear as double everything is in the room.

Large round mirrors work well in any space, and can even be placed in groups on a big wall. Groups of different size round mirrors add a great dramatic look, whether with framed or beveled edges. Start with the largest and place the smaller ones to the sides for a cluster look, an extra large mirror is a great starting piece if your space allows, and surround with any size, from large to tiny. The mirrors do not even have to match and that will afford a nice dramatic look. This can also provide an artistic feel to a room without spending a lot of money on artwork.

In a bathroom, mirrors are a necessity, but also can add drama. A large bathroom mirror, especially a framed one, can make even a small powder room seem large. These makeup mirrors are great for giving the bathroom a much larger illusion.  Again, if entertaining, light a candle in the bathroom and make sure the mirror catches it for a nice reflective glow.

When hanging mirrors, no matter the size, be conscientious of what the reflection shows. If a mirror can be hung from a window with a pretty view, it affords the view to more parts of the room. Perhaps a favorite picture can be reflected in a large wall mirror, but stay away from reflected cluttered or unsightly areas.

Whether it is the bathroom, living room or any other space, large wall mirrors add so much to the room. Be conscientious of placement, choose a coordinating style for the space and do not be afraid of the size. A large wall mirror can be dazzling in any room.
