Do you use mirrors in your apartment for creative design elements?

1. If you want to brighten a room, hang a large mirror opposite a window.  The mirror will reflect the natural light, creating a brighter room while also saving you on the electricity bill.

2. An oversized mirror strategically placed can create a focal point for a room, as well as become a piece of simple art.

3. Visually expand a room or hallway by placing mirrors to reflect light and add dimension.

4. Create a visually appealing wall space by designing a montage of mirrors.  Make sure they’re proportionate to the wall, keeping placement balanced.

These are just a few ways you can decorate and enhance your apartment, whether you’re looking for a modern or vintage feel.  If you prefer to use antique mirrors, check the various stores in the area that carry a selection of vintage items.  There are two near our apartment community, including Ordinary & Extraordinary and Streets of London.   Or if you prefer, try the Pottery Barn in Raleigh for modern, clean designs.   If you have designed with mirrors, let us know how you used them to create a unique look and feel for your apartment, by leaving a comment below.
