Mirror, Mirror on the...

Ah the mirror, so many uses, yet you don't want to cover every surface with it right? In today's design world mirror furniture, accessories and tile are bring made of, you guessed it, mirror!  You love the way it makes a small space feel larger, a dark room feel brighter, and is great for getting ready in the bathroom. Although, it seems like an easy to use material, it can be tricky to know just where and how much to use in a room. Don't worry, I am here to help! Here are a few examples of how to tastefully use mirror and integrate it into an existing design or if you are doing a remodel how to use just the right amount. Enjoy!

A mirror backsplash is a great way to introduce a nice reflective surface in a kitchen. This particular one is a irregular mosaic tile, that allows light to bounce around under the cabinets instead of a place you would look at yourself.

Parsons tables are always a popular table style, but what happens when you cover it in mirror? It looks that much better! This is a less "permanent" way to bring mirror into a space.

 

 The closet, a place were most people need a mirror. Instead of buying one of the slim cheap ones from your local hardware store, think about integration. If it is something that will make you everyday life a little easier, why wouldn't you do it! Closed storage with mirror doors, functional and looks great too!

 Do you just want to try in out for a little? To see if you like it? Small accessories, such as a tray, is a great way to introduce this wonderful material. After some time, if you decide it's not for you, at least you didn't invest a lot into it! :)

 The wall mirror is what started this whole movement! How about a really interesting wall mirror? One that says "hey I'm not just a mirror, I'm a piece of art too". Try to get creative with it, think outside the square, rectangle or circle, irregular shapes can add interest and still give you the functionality that you need.

The bathroom mirror, pretty much every bathroom has one, and if it doesn't something is wrong! Think about not only the mirror above the sink, but introducing a full length mirror as well. This is another place in the home that it will come in handy while getting ready.

 And for all of you who had homes built in the 70's probably had a mirror somewhere in there, it's ok, you can leave it now that mirror is back in style. Can you imagine this dining room without the mirror? Would probably look much smaller.
