Most homes have at least one room or area that suffers from a lack of natural light. North-facing rooms are particularly bad as they miss out on direct sunshine, but also halls, landings and all sorts of nooks and crannies can be dim and gloomy.
The easiest – and most decorative – way to shine a little light into this darkness is with mirrors. Since they reflect any light that is already available, they immediately make a room seem to have much more natural light than it really does. And if you add light from a lamp or overhead fixing, the mirrors really make a room glow.
Narrow hallways definitely need a mirror to help not only with more light, but also to give an impression of more space. This is also true in small bathrooms. Every bathroom needs plenty of mirrors – lets not try shaving or putting on make-up without one! You might think that a small bathroom needs a small mirror to match, but no, the bigger the better to make the room look bigger and brighter.
Mirrors can also artificially change the shape of a room. For example, a big mirror on the longest wall makes the room feel wider, since light is reflected onto the smaller walls.
Mirror frames have always been seen as an opportunity for elaborate decoration, and there is such a wide choice of frames now that you can always find one to match the style and decor of the room or your overall home.
A word of warning. Mirrors are heavy! They need strong hooks fixed to the wall with long, large screws. A good bosch drill is the ideal tool for hanging mirrors, and will help you get the holes drilled and screws fixed in quickly and easily.
