Decorating with Mirrors
Mirrors are one of the designer's most useful tools. Mirrors increase light in a room with few windows and multiply and distribute the light from existing windows.
In the dining room, mirrors reflect candlelight and exaggerate chandelier luminescence. When placed atop a serving buffet, a mirror adds sparkle to all objects placed on top of it. A long mirror incorporated into a dining table centerpiece showcases crystal table appointments, shining silver and glistening china.

Mirrors make a dining experience unique and special.
Reflective qualities are most often the homeowner's major concern when it comes to mirrors, but designers use mirrors by placing them in strategic locations throughout a room's design.
Mirror Selection in Bathroom Decorating
Simple bath accessories can add a romantic touch of Italian/French design to the ordinary bathroom.
Liven up a bath or powder room by adding decorative mirrors.
Consider oval, round and even arch shaped mirrors in dramatic. elegant, ornate and rustic antique finishes. Mediterranean style mirrors are as useful as they are beautiful.
Strategically placed mirrors reflect available light. In the bathroom vanity area shown right, the scrolled iron mirror is located below a bathroom skylight.
Designers think beyond hanging a mirror in the bath or in the entry foyer. Mirrors can be used in surprising places in rooms throughout the home.
Consider placing a tall floor mirror at the end of a long hallway and in the confines of smaller rooms. A large mirror amplifies space and makes the room appear larger. Mirrors are favorite wall decor for reflecting light in just the right space and at the same time become exquisite wall art when framed in scrolls of iron or carved wood designs.
