Interior design ideas with large mirrors

To create a unique interior decoration and make an indelible impression on guests, you can decorate some rooms in the house with large mirrors. In this case, a large mirror surface is usually perceived as a decorative element. In fact, a mirror, even of this size, also plays a great practical role.

A huge mirror will create the visual effect of expanding the room, and also in it you can fully examine and evaluate your appearance in full growth. In this case, you need to take into account the nuances of installing large mirror structures in rooms of different sizes. To do this, consider the positive and negative features, as well as several possible variations of this design.

If you plan to place a large mirror structure in the corridor, you should focus on it. Such a move will create the visual effect of increasing the area of ​​the corridor, while any person will be able to fully see and appreciate their appearance in full growth. And also the amount of light in the room will increase significantly due to its reflection, which will create additional comfort and set you in a positive mood.

Another positive feature of such a solution will be the fact that a mirror with a large area can hide any defects and irregularities on the wall. An additional bonus - the design approach that was applied to the arrangement of the room will only be emphasized. The mirror can be selected in accordance with the general style, while the surface itself and the frame for it are selected.

For example, the classic style implies rigor and the need to comply with certain restrictions. Mirrors can be placed not only on the walls, but also on the floor. Classics can also be accentuated by dividing the large mirror into separate pieces. You can use this style, for example, in narrow hallways.

In the case when the room is equipped in a high-tech style, you should not resort to minimalism. Quite the opposite, such a stylistic direction implies maximalism and contrast, which will be quite acceptable in small rooms.

When deciding whether or not to use such structures, it is worth paying attention to its main positive features.

One of them is the luxurious look of such a mirror. The large mirrored surface is chic in itself, and you can add a beautiful wood carved frame to it. A large-size mirror decorated in the old style will be original and exceptionally beautiful.

I would like to separately note the positive characteristics of full-height mirrors, which have a vertical design.

There are many such characteristics:

• if you install such a mirror at a slight angle to the floor, the visual effect of "high" ceilings will appear;
• at the same time, there will be no problems with the ability to consider your appearance;
• the advantage of such a modification will be the fact that you can put such a mirror in one of the corners of the room, since the vertical mirror is somewhat compact.

The design of a large mirror surface will not only provide an ideal view, but also expand the room on a fairly large scale, and will hide everything that is required from prying eyes. In addition, it should be noted that there is a noticeable increase in the functionality of such mirrors.

When deciding about installing a large mirror in a room, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the possible disadvantages of such an installation.

In general, there may be several of them:

• not every style can be matched with a large mirror. For example, it will not go with a minimalist style;
• also a negative point will be the difficult use of such mirrors;
• they are difficult to care for. And if there are small children, then they will certainly contribute to the fact that the mirrors will quickly get dirty.

The modern period is characterized by the presence of a large number of modifications of large mirrors, depending on their shape, frame, location and style.

Designers have developed many different variations of style and interior solutions for mirroring large and small, narrow and wide rooms. Therefore, in order to make the right decision, one should investigate the dimensions of the room, study possible ready-made design options and then proceed with the implementation of the plan.

• Large, tall, refined mirrors - round or triangular, which can be positioned in a vertical or horizontal plane, you can also use a sliding or built-in structure.

• One of the more interesting modifications - floor mirror mediumwith a light frame. This design will allow you to see your appearance in full. A backlight can be placed on such a mirror, which will add an additional plus to the functionality of the mirror. Also, the floor mirror can act as a stand, which makes it an excellent element of the classic style. One of the modern ideas is to install a floor mirror behind a special console, which is designed to support the mirror structure and is an organic part of it.

• There is also a modification such as the location of the mirror over the entire surface of the wall, in other words, this design is called a mirror-canvas. A distinctive feature of this design is the fact that the entire geometry of the room, in which such a mirror design is used, is, as it were, redrawn and becomes more original. This radically changes the entire appearance of the room. Also, a canvas mirror can cover some other pieces of furniture or cover niches with any shelves, things or drawers.

• Also, the mirror sheet can be applied to doors or cabinet walls, shelves and dressers. Moreover, on these pieces of furniture, you can apply an ordinary mirror surface, not in the form of a canvas. This approach will replace a separate mirror, which will save space in the room. Large mirrors, especially in the entire wall or other surface of a room, are most popular in small and narrow rooms, since the visual effect makes it wider and almost twice as large.

There are also several modifications of large mirrors, depending on the way they are placed and mounted:

• For example, hinged modifications of mirrors are endowed with the properties of convenience and practicality, which are placed and mounted by attaching to the floor and walls.
• Also, some modifications are installed by embedding in furniture, as mentioned earlier. In this case, the most commonly used option is a mirrored wardrobe, ceiling-high.
• The next type of construction of large mirror surfaces is the location on the surface of the doors.

An excellent option is to place a canvas mirror on one of the walls, and put a separate mirror structure with a wooden frame near the wall adjacent to it.At the same time, it becomes possible to experiment endlessly with the arrangement of other pieces of furniture in the room, including with chandeliers and other elements that will be located on the ceiling, on the floor or on the walls. To add some brightness, it is better not to force the room with unnecessary and unnecessary details.

Mirror surfaces attached to the walls in any of the rooms will have specific versatility.

There are other types of designs for mirror surfaces.

A large-sized mirror is quite different in terms of variations in size, shape and purpose. So, the list of mirrors with vertical surfaces and in the form of canvases over the entire surface of the wall is far from exhaustive.

In this case, growth mirrors are considered to be mirrors located in the vertical plane. If the mirror is located horizontally, then even if it is large in size, it will still not be considered a growth structure.

The horizontal arrangement of mirrored surfaces will make the room longer due to the visual effect, while the ceiling will seem to be slightly lowered. You can enhance this lengthening effect by choosing a black mirror frame. At the same time, you can choose a mirror design for almost all style directions.

For the minimalist style, for example, an exception can be made in the form of a mirror, which will be fixed on the wall itself with a small frame. Shelves and stands can be added to this design, as well as several purely decorative elements of small dimensions, for example, drawings.

If the mirror is mounted on the floor surface, then a special stand and a wide frame are assumed for the mirror base itself. Moreover, such a rack can have a function - to change the angle of inclination. But such designs are effective only in large rooms due to the fact that they require a large amount of free space. Otherwise, the function of changing the angle of inclination will be unrealizable in practice. Floor mirrors go very well with the Provence style if you choose a carved frame in the old style for them.

For some modifications, a completely atypical shape is characteristic. The designers have developed a number of mirrors that stand out very strongly in this regard and are quite bold solutions. This is usually not limited to just a circle, triangle, and oval.

Although, for example, for an eclectic style direction with an abundance of light, a large oval-shaped mirror would be the best option.

Not everyone can afford elite semicircular models, but they will certainly favorably highlight your chic interior.

A bathroom with a mirror should also be tastefully decorated, even if you are using models with low cost built-in sconces.
