Reflected Glory
Mirror, mirror on the wall – which is the most stylish of them all? While mirrors are certainly invaluable in the bathroom or bedroom for personal grooming, many mirror purchases are made more for their interior design benefits than for practical function.
It is well known that a carefully positioned mirror can enhance the look of a room. The light reflecting properties can fill dark areas and make any room appear larger. They can be used to enhance a feature such as a painting or add focus to a certain wall or piece of furniture. Mirrors add elegance and can change the feeling of a room without resorting to the upheaval of redecorating.
Mirrors come in all sizes, shapes and styles to suit every kind of property from period to ultra modern. If choosing a framed mirror, remember that the frame is often the first characteristic noticed, so decide whether you want it to be neutral or loud. Large mirrors with an ornate frame can be almost a work of art and there are also mirrors with pictures engraved onto them.
