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. 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. 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 can make the room look larger. To highlight sculpture or a treasured urn, strategically place mirrors to reflect the image so that guests see the object when it is not in direct view. A mirror placed behind an elegant floral arrangement or behind collectibles on a display shelf will showcase the objects and give them greater importance in the room's design. Placing a decorative mirror over an existing wall-to-wall mirror in the bath can have a stunning effect. Mirrors add depth to small bathrooms and bathroom mirrors can be more than the standard found above most vanity areas. A decorative mirror completely changes the ambience of the bathroom. Bath design can be appealing and dramatic. Even the kitchen can benefit from the addition of mirrors. A common practice in small kitchens and dark kitchens is to mirror the backsplash. The kitchen feels larger and brighter and mirrors are highly durable in the kitchen workplace. Mirrors are great decorating tools and come in all sizes, shapes and styles. Our Italian Frutta mirror is a favorite for reflecting light in just the right space and becomes exquisite wall art with its hand painted Mediterranean fruit design.
