We all have a mirror in the bathroom. Take a quick look at your outfit before you leave the house or check your hairstyle or make-up, mirrors are extremely handy and practical in your interior. But did you know that they are also the ideal home accessory to take your interior to the next level? Not only are they a beautiful piece of decoration on the wall, because they reflect the light they also have the ability to make spaces appear larger and lighter. You will find mirrors almost everywhere in the house: from the smallest room to your living space. Looking for a new mirror or do you want to incorporate a nice one into your interior? Then read on quickly.
Enlarge your living room optically? You do that with a large mirror on the wall. Because part of the room is reflected in the mirror, you create the illusion that your living room appears larger than it really is. The effect is even more impressive in your hall. With a wall mirror, you optically double the size of a narrow hallway and the room will look as large. You can also opt for a complete mirror wall with various small mirror tiles. This gives you the idea that there is still a space hidden behind the wall.

Mirrors can make any room in your home look significantly brighter. In a room where space is rather limited, a mirror can replace the function of a window. By hanging the mirror in a bright spot, it seems as if natural daylight enters. Do you especially want to make your room lighter? Then hang your mirror directly opposite a large window, so that the light from outside is reflected in it. An atmospheric variant of this: a mirror with indirect lighting that is concealed behind the mirror frame.
Mirrors come in all possible styles, shapes and sizes. You can see it as the crown jewel in your interior. The icing on the cake that gives everything that little bit extra. By choosing mirrors in the style of your own interior, you can create a contemporary, chic and coherent whole that makes rooms lighter and airier.
Hexagonal patterns are hipper than hip. Not only do you increasingly see patterns appearing on carpet or in tiles, we also see this form returning more often on the wall of many living rooms in mirrors. Place a hexagonal mirror on a wall shelf as a quirky and trendy home accessory or hang the mirror on the wall. Do you want to create a playful effect? Then combine several hexagonal mirrors together to create a beehive motif.

Of course you don't always have to hang mirrors. We see large mirrors in particular more and more often in interiors. These are placed loosely against a wall and thus provide a nonchalant and at the same time chic touch. Whether you have a classic, rural or sleek, modern interior. This trend fits everywhere.

A mirror not only reflects the light in a room to function as a natural light source. You can also place lights behind the mirror or opt for a mirror with built-in LED lighting. In a house in industrial loft style, this provides a cool twist in the interior.

A striking trend in interior design: the round mirror. Round shapes are doing better and better in the interior. We see more furniture with rounded shapes, but also round rugs stealing the show. Combine several round mirrors in different sizes with each other for the necessary playfulness and decorative added value in your modern interior.

Some mirrors go that extra mile and have the allure of a real work of art. Not only the frame looks unique and special, the mirror surface is also treated with graphic elements, colors or artistic touches. In combination with the light and the mirror image of the room, this creates a unique and special interior effect.

Why only reserve your mirrors for your interior? We also see mirrors appearing more often outside on terraces and balconies. In this way they make every veranda and every terrace cozier. They also provide extra sun on your terrace and bring out a bohemian holiday feeling.
