How to Use Mirrors for Magical Effects

Written by faith on July 1st, 2009

In my Seattle bathroom, my mirror sometimes tells me more than I want to know :-)   but nontheless, I love how mirrors transform interiors.  In my interior design practice, I strategically and sometimes whimsically locate all types of mirrors for function, sparkle and a touch of luxury. No matter if your home is older, dark or new and bright, there is a mirror perfectly suited for your taste.

  • This large, 48″ mirror, replaces artwork in this room setting. Look for large mirrors at antique stores, garage sales and attics of family members.  You can make one if you find a picture frame you love or purchase picture moulding and frame a mirror instead of art.

  •  A few years ago I saw a collection of trays like those in the photo.  These could hang over a bed or in a hallway.

  • No more dark corners! This beautiful screen from Hickory Chair features a four-panel screen with a black crackle finish and antique gold trim surrounding antique mirror panes. Any corner would take on new dimension with such a stunning addition.

    These are gorgeous! I am a mirror lover myself. Many times when I walk in to a client’s lacking mirrors (especially in dinning rooms or entry ways), it’s the first thing I point out. They do transform spaces magically! One of my latest designs I used what is normally a wall mirror as a table runner on a dinning table.
