If you have an interesting picture, a beautiful view, reflect it on the opposite wall with a mirror. Remember always to consider what the mirror will reflect once it is hung. You don’t want it to reflect uninteresting objects, such as the back of a door. So choose carefully where you will place your mirror.
No hall should be without a mirror for those last minute checks before you leave. It goes without saying that a bathroom and cloakroom will need at least one mirror and in the bedroom a mirror is not only necessary but can be an added decoration. Don’t forget a full length mirror. They are invaluable, ensuring you know how the rest of the world sees you. A sitting room is enhanced by a beautiful mirror. Its frame will delight the eye and the glass will increase light and space.
There are so many shapes and styles of mirrors and many influenced by different countries and histories. BTCbyDESIGN has a collection of mirrors of contemporary and traditional design made from carved wood, painted wood, inlaid bone and metal - please visit, BTCbyDESIGN’s 'Mirrors' section for inspiration.
