Strategic placement of mirrors in living spaces is an essential element of home decor. Their location in relation to light sources affects the overall level of illumination and visual perception of the space. This was reported by SSPDaily.

NewsBytes talked to professional designers to understand how to succeed in placing mirrors. Here are 4 factual tips from the experts.

Place mirrors opposite windows

Mirrors located in front of natural light sources or next to lighting fixtures have an amazing ability to reflect and diffuse light throughout the room.

Designers claim that this practice significantly increases the overall illumination, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow in the room and enhancing the depth of the decor.

As a result, it not only makes the room brighter, but also creates a positive, light atmosphere in it.

Create optical illusions

Thoughtful placement of mirrors can have a significant impact on the perceived space and lighting of a room, making it visually more attractive.

Therefore, experts recommend placing mirrors near windows so that they reflect light to the rest of the room. Such a symmetrical arrangement reflects the size of the room, making it seem more spacious than it actually is.

Use different shapes and styles

The secret to utilizing the full potential of mirrors lies not only in their placement, but also in their design.

To achieve the desired effect, use organic, free-form shapes that make mirrors look casual, as well as thick frames to make them look like windows.

Mirrors are effective light sources

Mirrors enhance both natural and artificial light in a room. Therefore, their proper placement can instantly increase the visual appeal of a room.

This approach, which enhances the brightness of light, is often used in gyms, dance studios, or rooms with a minimalist aesthetic.
