The placement of mirrors can make or break a space. It’s the difference between staring at a boring wall behind you and looking into an inspiring, whimsical world. Hanging mirrors is all about the art of reflection.
A good designer knows mirrors are a plus in most any space — they add light to dark, dreary walls. But it is important to look past the pretty frame and reflect on that within. Think about what your mirror is showing you. It should act as the outline for your living environment. Place important objects, design elements or contrasting colors so they can be captured in the reflection. The result should transform your mirror from a static wall hanging into an intriguing work of art. If your home is a reflection of your personality, your mirror should reflect your personality as well!

I agree that mirrors serve a unique aesthetic function in the home. That said, I clicked through this post thinking there would be different examples of mirror usage. I always try to stay positive in my comments, but I have to say that this post really disappointed me. I mean, two short paragraphs and one photo referencing one of the oldest tricks in the design world. I know the comments here at AT can be a bit ruthless at times and I don't wish to contribute to that, but with these types of posts I would rather stick to reading the many ad-free blogs out there.
I agree with threechordme. Give us more please :)
The post should have contained the ultimate no-no for mirror placement--on the wall directly opposite the bathroom door.
Beware of the flowers in that vase. There's a spycam hidden in them.
