If there is one accessory for a home that you simply cannot do without, it is a mirror. A workhorse of home accoutrements, the mirror is a multi-functional item worth its weight in design gold. Generally, when we think of mirrors in our domestic spaces, we tend to utilise them as a purely functional and convenient way to view ourselves. However, they are capable of so much more. Brilliant for making a room feel larger and more spacious, a mirror is also able to act as a light source, reflecting bright beams of sun directly into spaces that are dark or dull. As well as a stylish piece of decoration, mirrors are elegant, convenient, and an often underappreciated design tool. 

Today at homify we are looking at how to incorporate this wonderful reflective accessory into our abodes. Check out the following examples below, and consider the placement of your mirror, to ensure it is an effectual element of your domestic space.

A selection of mirrors

Reminiscent of something you might see in a parking garage, only extremely stylish, this convex mirror is a beautiful addition to this staircase space. Working as practical way to see around the corner of this walkway, these mirrors offer a sense of originality and individuality to the home. Arranged sporadically on either sides of the adjoining walls, this set up oozes style, class and stylish sophistication.

A wall of mirror

If you are working with a small space, you will undoubtedly know the difficulty in making the area seem larger, and more spacious. Mirror can be a wonderful way to enhance a space, give it a sense of airiness, whilst also looking contemporary and stylish.
