The one decorating item to transform any room in your home
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.
