Mirrors in design are usually employed for practical reasons, such as within the bathroom sink or to help small spaces feel bigger through reflection. In such situations, it’s easy enough to simply hang a mirror on a hook and then call it a day. However, by being clever, there’s room to make a statement when integrating your own mirrors. Instead of hanging a mirror on your own mantel, have you considered applying a mirrored face to your entire fireplace? Or creating a design from mirrored pieces, such as a wall mounted mosaic? When you start thinking beyond the box, then you are going to realize there’s a complete expanse of unique mirror software prepared to be expressed from your home.
So long, mirrored medicine cabinet. This tile design took creative liberties by integrating mirrored tiles among subway tiles. Notice how a couple mirrored tiles were carried by the designer into the shower — ideal for shaving!

A mirrored mosaic wall in this little bathroom not only can help to open the space, but also lends an intriguing visual impact.

Instead of applying a right sheet of mirror to some nook inset or backsplash, consider creating a design using tiles. This enriches the mirror’s aesthetic by providing a sense of texture.

By no signifies is hanging a mirror completely out of the question. However, instead of just one, consider creating a screen with mirrors of different styles or dimensions for more appeal.

You might also want to consider mixing mirrors with art. You will get that feeling of enlarged space while also creating an interesting gallery wall.

Or, instead of mixing hanging mirrors, juxtapose a hanging mirror with mirrored furniture. This look feels much more layered since there are distinct dimensions of reflection.

If you are more comfortable with only one mirror, try to find something which feels cohesive together with all the furniture nearby. The result will feel like a unified vignette.
Or use a mirror which doubles as a decorative piece to get a compelling look.

You might think that a mirror is just what your fireplace mantel needs. However, what about mirroring the whole surface of your fireplace? This unexpected and contemporary spin on your fireplace will have a far larger effect than the mirror resting on the mantel.

This aluminum twist weaving through the mirror creates an effect. Talk about a statement!

Feel free to work this thought into your aesthetic in smaller doses, such as focusing solely on drawers or the inside panels of a cupboard.

You can also get creative with your own frames. This window frame tricks the eye into thinking it’s looking outdoors at first glance.

Or put in a frame in an odd manner. A sheet of glass is rather common; it will become compelling with the clever addition of this circular frame.
