Many people tend to look at their reflection in the mirror since the moment they wake up and it’s evident that as we go through our morning routine to get ready for work or school we look at the mirror several times; whether it’s brushing our teeth, combing our hair, or putting on make-up, mirrors form an essential part of our lives because our image matters to us.

But mirrors do more than just help us with our self-image. They enable us to decorate our homes and even create certain effects. Mirrors, especially large ones, can make areas of the house like a living room seem larger which would be especially beneficial for a small house. Another good idea to keep in mind when deciding the location of a mirror is what you want to see reflected in the mirror, you know, besides yourself. You can place a mirror in front of your favorite ornament or anything that you find attractive in your house so that you can also see it reflected in the mirror. A tip for choosing a mirror is taking into account the color of your walls. Try to contrast colors, for instance if your wall is painted in a light color, go for a mirror with a dark frame and viceversa. You also want to keep in mind that size matters! Make sure the mirror you hang on the wall isn’t bigger than the furniture it has below.

Remember that mirrors also serve as decoration and a way to use them to enhance your house is to get several tiny mirrors, especially the kind with creative frames, and group them together on a wall to get a unique look. Always remember that mirrors do more than just enabling you to know how you look. They can definitely be used as decoration for the home or any other place, as you can appreciate in this picture. Next time you go mirror shopping, remember to choose the one that not only helps you look good, but also makes your house look good!

Decorating with mirrors is fun and one of the top advantages is that your home will have its unique touch, after all not everyone is as creative as you are!
