Mirrors can be so much more than a way of checking your hair or make up before you leave the house. There are many designs of mirrors out there some of the more popular been art deco mirrors. They can all be used as bedroom or bathroom mirrors however many people only purchase mirrors as a functional item and for this reason they miss the true potential of a mirror.
Mirrors are great at ‘creating’ a feel of space. Often smaller rooms can be made to look much bigger simply by placing a mirror in a strategic place. They don’t have to be a large mirror however a greater illusion can be made.
Some more decorative mirrors can be angled in order to shed light and reflect colours in different directions. Many art deco mirrors are great at doing this.
Another feature of mirrors that sometimes people overlook is that they are excellent at cascading light around a room. If a room is dark and miserable it can be easily brightened up by cleverly placing a mirror where direct light can hit the mirror and reflect around the room, it doesn’t have to be sunlight as placing a mirror near a decorative lamp would also work.
Mirrors can be easily hung and need little maintenance, here is a quick tip on looking after them.
Mirrors should be cleaned using a soft cloth such as a micro cloth. You can use mild soap and water or an anti-static polish. You are advised not to use glass or window cleaning products or any abrasive cloths. If you are putting mirrors on to a recently painted wall or ceiling, please wait two weeks for the paint to dry out completely. Please also make sure the mirror is put up on a flat surface or distortion may occur.
