The piece is able to make all the difference in the design of the rooms and helps in the feeling of amplitude. Learn how to use and abuse the decoration with mirrors without losing the warmth!

Defining a decoration for the environment, especially when we talk about decoration for the house, is always a challenge. It all depends on the tastes of the people who live in the house, and items that may seem minimal actually make all the difference in decor. Consequently, it is very important to pay attention to the smallest details, because depending on the effect caused, the desire to be in that place can change.
There are also essential items for decoration, which receive greater prominence and are usually the first on the list when it comes to decorating. And there are pieces that are in the middle of the two worlds &ndash; this is the case of the mirror, for example. Despite making a big impact on the decor, mirrors are not necessarily essential for the design of an interior; however, they serve as a plus capable of changing the entire aesthetic of an environment.

Why use mirrors in decoration?

In addition to reflecting the image, mirrors contribute a lot to the decoration in the sense of highlighting objects and illuminating places that receive more artificial or natural light, as they help with lighting. In addition, mirrors are very well used in decorations to enlarge narrow spaces – and this is a golden key for interior designers and architects, as mirrors are really able to help with the feeling of spaciousness.

That is, if you have a very narrow space in your house and you would like to give it an amplitude, the ideal is to combine a mirror in the place, so that the place becomes visually larger. For smaller apartments like studios and also more modern apartments this works perfectly fine. But, without a doubt, the mirror matches practically every room.

Check out, below, tips on how to decorate domestic spaces with mirrors!

As stated earlier, the tip of placing mirrors in small places is very valid – and, if your room is small, it is very worthwhile to place a mirror located on the closet doors, or vertically, hanging on the wall. One of the trends in recent years is smaller mirrors, which are arranged next to each other, supported by frames in a more classic style, each mirror having a different shape. The frames can be made of MDF, wood or even plastic, and help to make the environment more elegant, matching the rest of the environment. Important tip: bet on larger mirrors to increase the feeling of spaciousness and avoid leaving the mirror facing the front of the bed (this can cause some discomfort for those who sleep).

Rooms are usually the main rooms in a house. After all, it&#39;s where guests are received, and it&#39;s usually the first big impression of the house for visitors. Therefore, as the living room is always a prominent environment, bet on medium-sized mirrors that are elevated, which can give a greater reflection of the space that is close to the room. Here, it is important to remember that if your room receives a lot of natural light or artificial light, be careful with the size and placement of the mirrors so that there is not too much light reflection. It can be uncomfortable for those who stay in the environment. It is also worth looking for shelves that have mirrors to decorate the room, which is already a trend in the world of decoration.

In the kitchen, mirrors are a little more “shy”, both because of the dirt that can accumulate and because of the mirror&#39;s functionality in a place like the kitchen. Here, prefer mirrors with false frames, where the edges of the glass are more opaque, giving the feeling of a frame. However, as the most modern kitchens are usually smaller than the old ones, it is very worthwhile to decorate them with mirrors, in order to increase the feeling of spaciousness of the space. You can choose to mount them on the wall, or on the top of the countertops, below the cabinets, with LED lights around them.

Following the same logic as the most modern kitchens, modern bathrooms also tend to have a reduced size, and therefore, the mirror can be an important piece in the decoration of this type of environment.
The focus is to offer a more functional bathroom &ndash; and by attaching a mirror to one side of the bathroom, you can already give the space an amplitude. Here, it is also worth having well-positioned mirrors to assist in the use of skin care products, such as hair serum , moisturizers, creams, etc.
Important tip: if the bathroom sink is positioned in a &ldquo;U&rdquo; shaped area, you can apply mirrors to three walls and preferably raise the mirrors to the ceiling. This will help a lot with the feeling of spaciousness and will also help with the lighting of the environment.
