One of the most recent and creative ideas to decorate walls involve mirrors. There are many benefits to decorating a room with mirrors. Placing a mirror against a wall in the room would not only make the room look larger, but brighter as well. So find out how you can utilize mirrors to transform the look of a room entirely. Here are some décor ideas you can try down the lane.
Window Dressers
Rather than opting for a normal window, go for a window dresser. These can act as perfect room dividers and create a focal point of interest in an otherwise dull room. Consider these mirror backed French window surrounds by Amy Perlin Antiques that give this wall a graphic and glamorous touch.
Mirror Wall Sculptures
Be creative and transform an entire wall into a giant mirror sculpture, as shown in this room that is a part of designer Naeem Khan’s loft in New York. The fashion designer teamed up with interior designer Tom Scheerer to attach several mirror panels on the wall to give it a sculpted look. Note how the mirror sculpture also serves as a contemporary headboard as well.
Heritage Charms
Antique mirrors are hard to come by. Therefore, hang onto the one you have and opt make your room elegant with it. Consider this Venetian style mirror, which has been fixed on the wall of the master bath in television producer Rakieten’s home in Chicago.
Mirrors and Smoke
Another mirror wall that serves as a stunning backdrop for the living area, this design by interior designer Todd Romano features antique mercury glass panels filling an entire wall from floor to ceiling, thereby adding more elegance and charm to the surroundings. Note how the mirrored wall also acts as a backdrop for a heritage painting hung on the same wall.
Multiple Mirrors
If you are apprehensive about the large mirror approach, try opting for smaller mirrors. For instance, consider this décor idea in a bedroom in Paris. The walls are lined with antique framed convex mirrors on both sides of the headboard. In addition to brightening up the room instantly, the mirrors complement the striped wall covering beautifully.
Statement Frames
A vintage framed mirror can add oodles of charm to your home. Check out this sunburst framed mirror in fashion designer Nanette Lepore’s house in New York City. The golden colored sunburst frame of the mirror looks great against the plain backdrop, making eyes pop in the home.
Of course, there is no need to hunt around for golden colored and vintage frames. Try adding some quirkiness to the integral design to come up with your own rendition of the sunburst mirror. For instance, this sunburst mirror at Bobo Intriguing Objects offers a beachy look with its deconstructed wine barrel frame.
Another statement frame comes in the form of the faux-tortoise shell mirror available at interior designer Philip Gorrivan’s Manhattan home.
Grand Scale Mirrors
Rather than opting for floor to ceiling mirror panels, how about opting for comparatively smaller and yet, grand scale mirrors for the rooms in your home? A grand scale mirror like this one in a New York loft would act like a grand scale art piece. It would also help unite the other décor pieces in the space and make the entire area look more welcoming.
Summary
Here are some of the ways in which you can utilize mirrors in your home. Choose from these designs and take them as inspirations to create your own décor ideas using mirrors. You will notice the change these mirrors have on your home and its occupants almost instantly.
