“Mirror, mirror, on the wall, Who’s the fairest of them all?”

Lines we all know from our Fairy Tale days. The mirror, however has evolved from being a showcase for reflection to a showcase for good taste. From functional to fashionable.

Mirrors are used to indicate illusion of spaces, create accents, reflect light, open up a room and establish mood. Mirrors can be deployed creatively – from the simplest of uses to the most innovative.

  • Enlarge the room: position a floor mirror (at least 3/4ths of the wall height) to create instant square footage.
  • Bathroom luxe: Adorn your master bathroom with a Venetian style mirror to enhance the elegance quotient.
  • Gallery display: Create an entire gallery of different-sized mirrors with different frames on one side of your living room, maybe facing a wall of art. Heights of stunning display.
  • Bedroom beauty: create a wall sculpture of mirror panels, as a mod headboard. Or design a mirrored wardrobe, like a freestanding dressing room. Having the mirror framed and broken up in panels lightens its weight.
  • Dining delight: A large mirror on the dining room wall, brightens the room, creates additional luminosity and adds dimension to the space. Alternatively place an inexpensive full-length mirror (the kind you attach to a closet door) atop the dining-room table. Set vases of various heights and forms―some with, some without flowers―on the mirror.
  • Entryway excitement: A favorite spot is the entryway. Not only is it feng-shui friendly, it’s a great way to do a final check before leaving the house.
  • Kitchen cabinets: Use mirrored glass on cabinet doors and watch how your spaces enlarge.
  • Cover-up: prop up a wall mirror against an awkwardly-placed window or door.
  • Bar views: A surprise mirror can give your decor the extra boost it needs.  Strategically place mirrors in the bar cart to create a classic effect with a luxurious feel.
  • Walls and ceiling: For unalloyed luxury, sheath a room’s walls and ceiling with trelliswork backed by mirrors.
  • Stairwise: Think mirrored stairs for a funky feel.
  • Statement pieces: Geometric mirrors are the thing to up the coolness quotient. See beyond the round, rectangular and square.
  • Mirror frames: Choose from sunburst, Victorian, ornate, plain, layered, multicolored, metal, wooden, distressed, vintage to attract the right attention for the space.
