You can use mirrors to lighten up your home and bring the sunshine into dark areas, it’s true. I have always used lots of mirrors in my homes. I often use a rectangular mirror as a serving tray for charcuterie, and that one I bought at T.J.Maxx,. It was inexpensive so I don’t worry much about breaking it. And I learned a great trick when I moved into my one-room loft: mirrors can bring the light into your space. In my apartment I have floor-to-ceiling windows on the front side, but that’s pretty much it. The walls are mostly brick and the ceiling is exposed beams and ductwork. There is plenty of light, but it is all on the front side, leaving me in the dark the further into the place I go. I have a very large mirror, maybe 3′ x 6′, and when I moved in I stood it up against a wall temporarily. When I went to move it I quickly realized that it was actually providing light. It acts as a window. The reflection the mirror provides lights up that part of the apartment and it is too dark without it.
There are limitless styles of mirrors: currently, I am on a mission to find a round mirror and I have fallen in love with this one on Amazon. The color is called Spruce and looks like a green-gray. Love, love, love. The round shape feels updated and fresh. You can find so many options in all price ranges and they will instantly open up your home. Bring sunlight into a corner that is away from the windows with a morror and see what a difference it makes. I think you will be amazed and how bright and airy your home will feel with the addition.
Let me know if you have a great use for a mirror in your home.
