“Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” This famous quote from Snow White showed the important roles mirrors play in our everyday lives, although the queen’s mirror was a bit biased.
However, mirrors don’t have to talk to you in order to be magical. A well-designed mirror can have an enchanting effect on a room.
Here at Online Furniture Design, we love to find furniture, accents, layouts and designs that serve more than one purpose. Items that can multi-task really provide the most bang for the buck.
Accent mirrors are excellent multi-taskers and can be placed in almost any room in the house. The first part in this series is going to focus on the types of wall mirrors and how they can really transform the look and feel of a space.
Wall mirrors essentially have three purposes: they fill what would otherwise be an empty space on a wall, they can be a work of art in their own right and the mirror itself will always carry out its original function.
The size of wall mirrors usually range between 2.5 to 6 feet, but the impact they can have varies just as much because designers experiment with the size of the frame in comparison to the actual size of the mirror.
With improved technology comes improved design and the artistic quality of many mirrors being produced today are truly artistic creations. From a design perspective, mirrors help to brighten a space and make the room appear larger.
