Creative and decorative ideas for mirrors!
Mirrors can bring the outside in and can add sparkle to any space, especially when the mirror reflects candlelight and chandelier light. I was inspired to share a few design ideas with you on how mirrors can be used to enhance your interiors.
A thoughtful subscriber from North Carolina shared how her guests love seeing the reflection of the crystal chandelier lights, along with the candlelight on the table, in her mirrored Dining Room ceiling.
Small spaces can grow exponentially with the addition of a mirrored wall. Because Fox Hall was built in 1803, bathrooms did not exist, so a small area of the Master Bedroom was portioned off to create a bathroom. When we renovated, I had the “sink vanity wall” mirrored floor to ceiling. Even though it appears that we have “two loos,” due to the reflection, it does indeed make a marvelous difference visually and enhances the diminutive space.
Every time I visit Paris, I am enchanted by how artwork is often hung on top of a mirror. This technique gives depth to both the art and the mirror. Consider hanging a piece of art on top of your mirror, or over a mirrored wall.
Another idea is to hang a decorative mirror atop a mirrored wall, which adds an illusion of depth and interest.
Install a mirrored backsplash over a built-in bar, behind the shelves, to add additional sparkle to your crystal glasses.
Consider applying a trellis-work design over a mirrored wall as we did in our dining room in Petite Fox, Palm Beach.
Instead of using glass panes on a door, consider “mirrored panes.” This gives a magical and glamorous aesthetic. I did this for my wardrobe closet doors in the dressing room at Fox Hall. I adore it!
A mirrored wall can also serve as a wardrobe mirror to admire and adjust one’s attire.
Here’s looking at you, dear ones!
