Quick Tip: Interiors shine with a mirror

Mirrors can be used to reflect and bounce light around a room, create the illusion of space, or to let your living spaces shine.

 

Place a selection of mirrors on the wall for a collector’s look.

Mirrors offer an affordable way to glam up an empty wall. You have the option to mount a single, large mirror or a collection of small mirrors to add shine to any room. Use paper templates to determine the layout you want on the all before mounting mirrors.

Mirrors in a small room creates the illusion of depth, so go big with a wall-mounted mirror above a sofa or dining room table. Large mirrors provide a dramatic focal point and you can hang these to create an instant eye-catching feature. Position the mirror, or mirrors, in such a way that they reflect a chandelier or pendant light, or show off a view.

Brighten up a hallway or passage by placing a horizontal mirror along a wall or at the end, to bounce and reflect light. It will also create the illusion of a wider space.
