The Use of Wall Mirrors in Interior Spaces

“Mirror, mirror on the wall; who’s the fairest of them all?”, is what comes to mind when you think about mirrors on the walls. However, the truth is that while a mirror cannot give you an answer, they can add value to your life and space with their mere presence. You can choose to use mirrors around the house for purely functional purposes or make a decorative art piece for your personal space out of it. When you want to make the most optimal use of your space, you need to know the kinds of mirrors that you can get your hands on.

One of the most common uses of a wall mirror is to use them as pieces of decoration, especially in spaces that are cramped or small, such as passage ways. These mirrors help make passages look larger and add a touch of aesthetic beauty without taking away from the little space that the passage has. The mirrors also serve as an illusion making the passage appear way larger than it actually is, because that is one of the most common purposes of a mirror in the course of décor of a space. You can add length or depth to any space with just the use of a wall mirror.

Your wall mirrors can also serve as fillers for spaces between pieces of art that you display in a house or in a commercial space. When you display art on the walls of a space, you need to add relief to the string of pieces so that onlookers are able to take a breather and take in the beauty of the art pieces sufficiently. In order to provide the necessary breather to the viewers of the art and to not leave blank or dull spaces on the walls, you can choose to use mirrors that are simple yet elegant. This is something that helps maintain the aesthetic of art without having an overwhelming effect on the people experiencing the art.

Finally, you can find wall mirrors that are the focal point of a design for a space. These may be in the form of coloured mirrors or mirrors with motifs, design, sculpting, etching and more. The mirrors that are used as focal design elements are art pieces in themselves and entire entourages for the mirrors may be planned after the mirror is picked. You can have tables, candle stands, runners, photo frames and more, placed around the mirror to help enhance its look.
