If you’ve been thinking of creating a new look for your home, mirrors can offer some creative possibilities for home décor. A well-placed mirror can reflect light, create an illusion of depth, or make a room appear larger. Mirrors can be used in every room of the house to brighten up your home. Experiment with using mirrors in living rooms, kitchens, hallways, and bedrooms. If your mirrors have become stained, cracked, or damaged, contact a reputable company offering repairs and mirror replacement in Houston for help. Mirrors need not be restricted to the insides of closet doors and the space above your bathroom sink. They come in many different shapes and sizes, and can be used in a number of different ways to enhance the look and feel of your home.

Create a Beautiful Table Centerpiece

A narrow mirror can be used to create a striking table centerpiece. Place vases of fruit or flowers or other table decorations on the mirror for a stunning effect. Choose a long, thin mirror, similar to the kind you might place inside a wardrobe.

Make a Room Look Larger or Brighter

Make a small or moderate sized room appear larger by carefully propping a three-quarter length mirror against one of the walls. The reflection will create an illusion of increased space. Alternatively, a mirror positioned so as to reflect a window can increase the light in a room on a sunny day, or make the room appear more spacious.

Create Other Visual Effects

Try grouping a set of small mirrors together to create interesting reflections . Mix and match their frames as you might do with a group of photographs or small paintings. Combine metal and wooden framed mirrors or mirrors of slightly different sizes and shapes. You can also use mirrors to reflect flickering candlelight. Place a group of candles in front of a mirror for interesting, soft lighting.
