Design Focus: How to Expand a Space with Mirrors

Hello Fabulistas! I LOVE mirrors! They're kind of like jewelry for your home. They can be subtle and refined, or blingy and fabulous! If you live in a small space please remember, mirrors are your friend! Mirrors are the key to expanding a small space. Here are a few ways I like to place mirrors in small spaces: Create a window Did you know you can create a window using mirrors? You can! Place a mirror across a window and it will reflect the outdoors. It will bring in the natural light and help the space feel like there are twice as many windows.

Use floor-length mirrors I like to place floor length mirrors behind furniture. They make the furniture look large and important. They also make spaces appear taller and wider! Think about placing a floor length mirror behind a console table or sofa. Don't forget to attach it to the wall for safety purposes! Expand a space with mirrors

Reflect the light In order to create more light and drama, you can place a mirror behind a light source. I like to place mirrors behind candles, pendant lights and bedside lamps. This is a great way to maximize the amount of light reflected without using too many lamps. Expand a space with mirrors

Create a gallery We love gallery walls with pictures, so why not with mirrors?! By using mirrors in a variety of sizes and shapes, you can create an interesting wall display. The grouping of mirrors will also reflect the light in a dramatic way.

Mirrored walls and cabinets Many forget about putting mirrors on walls and cabinets. It's an easy way to create a larger space without using a traditional mirror.
