Hello everyone,
Accent pieces add details to provide the finishing touches for your home design project. They jazz up rooms that might otherwise look uninviting and dull. To give a room that feeling of pizazz, you need to incorporate textures, colors, and (of course) nature to the room. Books, objects d’art and plants are accent pieces that can be placed in a variety of spaces, such as coffee tables and vignettes.
Mirrors are also accent pieces: they are decorative windows that reflect and emphasize views and colors from art or adjacent walls. When hung in just the right place, they create special effects. Mirrors make small rooms appear larger. They also brighten up dark spaces by catching light and reflecting it around the room. The style of a mirror should fit in with the style of the other pieces in your home. When choosing a mirror, you have to consider not only its size, shape and style, but also where you intend to place it. Avoid using small mirrors in a large room, and vice versa. With the right choice and placement, mirrors can be something that you want to look at as well as look into!
One of the most popular places for mirrors is the living room. Large mirrors work especially well there, since this this is a room that should be well lit and appear as large as possible.
This is a new trend for decorating with mirrors: mirror on mirror.
A framed, full-size mirror placed on the floor and resting on the wall can be quite dramatic.
Not crazy about putting a large mirror in the living room? Consider a small one with a relatively simple design. It can play an important function in the room.
If you have an object or a piece of art that needs that you want to draw someone’s attention to, use a carefully placed simple mirror to attract your guests towards that object. This is where the mirror can play an integral role in the design of the room.
Dining rooms are ideal places for mirrors, especially when they lack natural light. Mirrors can enlarge the space and create the atmosphere you want.
I love, love the rich red color of this mirror!
Try hanging multiple mirrors in groups on the same wall, the same way you hang multiple small pieces of art. It will be very visually pleasing!
I hope all these mirrors have brightened up your spirits and made your world feel larger.
We are having a perfectly beautiful day here. The sun is out and I’m going to take full advantage of it by going window shopping after a people-watching lunch.
I hope that you’re doing something equally fabulous today and that your local weather is just as perfect as ours.
Have a nice day,
Simone
