Decorator Recommendations
The space of the apartment is often limited, so a large single mirror canvas is placed only on the walls in the living rooms or spacious hallways. In a small corridor, small solid or stacked mirrors can be placed on the facades of cabinets. It looks impressive and stylish, suitable for almost any interior.
It is not recommended to place large furniture or paintings near the mirror wall. Reflecting in the mirrors, structures will visually reduce the size of the room. It is desirable that they reflect free space, this is especially true for narrow hallways. The space expands to the maximum if there is a window or wall opposite the mirror canvas, decorated with light wallpaper or material.
It is not recommended to place such decorative elements opposite each other on both sides of the corridor. The reflection will be distorted in this case, and a person may begin hallucinations if he often passes along such a corridor.
Mirrors that completely cover the entire wall are installed in spacious rooms (home gyms, pools). Walls from typesetting elements (mirror panels) are suitable for rooms of any size, they give the interior an original and stylish look.
