Where to put the mirrors in our house: some ideas to create corners of light and depth in our interiors

Here are some recommendations about how to use decorative wall mirrors in various areas in the house.
H3: Decorative mirrors in the hall
Putting a mirror in the hall, where you get the first impression about the whole house, becomes a statement of style which combines functionality and aesthetics.
But where and how shall we put mirrors in the hall to maximize their visual and emotional impact?
- Above a console: the console is an evergreen classic, and putting a mirror above a console or a hall table helps achieving more visual depth while creating an elegant center of attention. In this case, the console is the perfect base onto which the mirror can shine, reflecting and increasing natural light and inviting you to find out more.
- In front of the main door: putting a mirror in front of the main door is a wonderful trick to enlarge the space perception you have when entering. This strategic position creates visual continuity: it is as if indoor and outdoor immediately communicate, in a perfect illusion of depth and opening.
- Groups of mirrors: to achieve a more artistic, less conventional result, you can combine mirrors of various shapes and sizes in a visually stimulating collage. This combination can be an artistic installation which captures and splits light in astonishing ways, providing a dynamic and personalised concept of the hall.
