The one decorating item to transform any room in your home

And give the illusion of more space! - by Chloe Arentz
  • 06 Aug 2018

Mirrors are the ultimate decorating tool. Here's why you should include them in your interiors arsenal.

Both aesthetically pleasing and functional, mirrors offer a stylish solution to an empty wall or floor space, with the ability to add volume and work in with any colour palette or decorating style.

Mirrors can make a dramatic design statement and give the ultimate illusion of space, making small areas within the home feel more spacious.

Whether hung as a single piece, or a number collected together in a cluster, placed perfectly across from a window mirrors help reflect light and colour around the room to double your decorating efforts.

In the hall or entrance, a mirror doubles as a last-minute check as you leave the home and a welcome reflection to guests arriving.

Think outside the bathroom and bedroom - mirrors can completely transform a space to bridge old and new – a mirror chosen in a period style can add character to a new build, conversely a contemporary piece gives a new life to old walls.

A mirror placed above a workspace at home allows you to keep eyes on the task at hand, with the occasional glance to the bigger picture at home.

A tiny corner becomes a dressing room with the addition of a low-hung mirror. Light and texture from the surrounding spaces are transported to create interest and warmth.
