Mirrors are definitely a vital part in creating your perfect home.  It gives emphasis and intrigue even to guests and can even be the topic of conversation.  The mirrors can give a magical touch of timelessness, grace and uniqueness.

The reflective effect of mirrors can make any area look bigger.  Mirrors are the secret furniture for small apartments to make the rooms feel spacious.  The bigger the mirror, the larger the area space would feel.

Add more natural light

Mirrors can also be used to capture the light coming from your windows.  The natural light will be reflected and would fill the entire room, thus making the area look brighter and fresh all the time.  It is best to position them opposite or at the side of the windows, wherever you want the light to reflect. Another tip is you can have a coloured light curtain that reflects its colours to the mirror, adding drama to the room.  

A beautiful round mirror captures the light from outside and emphasises the colour of the curtains from the inside. Our Uttermost Sherise wall mirrors will certainly fulfil this magic.

Accentuate the wall

As designer Susan Ferrier mentioned in lifestyle website Shesaid, the reflective effect of mirrors adds a unique detail that stands out amongst the surrounding decor for plenty of balance.  This results in avoiding making the rooms to appear overly colourful.  Instead of adding up another accessory to the wall that would add up colour, the mirror would stabilize the overall effect.

In contrast to that, mirrors can turn out to be artworks by just selecting a brightly coloured, or ornate frame.  By picking the colour that matches or compliments other existing colours in the room, mirrors can bring together a harmonious design for the home.

 An important point to remember is that there should only be one or two accessories in a room that is distinct.  If your mirror is eye-catching, make the other accessories subtle.  If it’s the other way around, the mirror should be simpler but still blends in with the rest.

 It is best to maximize the full potential of a mirror as an integral part of the home.  Definitely great results would come out and will make beautifying your home a piece of cake.
