Decorating With Mirrors? How to Use Them to Create The Illusion of More Space

Whether it's a smaller space or a spacious room, mirrors always enhance the look and appeal of a home's interior design. Any professional interior designer will tell you all about the wonders of opening up a smaller room with a perfectly placed mirror, but there are some basics that you should know when you're looking to create space with mirrors.

• Big mirrors in small spaces, especially when directly opposite a focal point such as a chandelier or unique piece of artwork, are a great way to give smaller spaces an illusion of more space.
• Speaking of focal points, don't be afraid to make a gorgeous mirror the focal point of a room. It can give the illusion of depth to a smaller space.
• Narrow hallways, little nooks and other smaller spaces in your home can benefit from the illusion of more space with the help of a mirror. Multiple mirrors can help expand the space and add more personality than the more traditional approach of one lone mirror.
• Working with an interior designer, you can find mirrored accents and furniture that can create the same illusion of more space like a traditional mirror does. These pieces can also bring uniqueness to a space.

Ultimately, to create space with mirrors, think outside the box by finding unique pieces. For more interior design help, turn to Stephanie Kratz Interiors. We can help you find ways to give your smaller spaces depth.
