Maldini: Magic With Mirrors

Mirrors are a fun and stylish way to enhance a room. However, they also offer additional benefits that can help to create a fresh and inspired interior. Here we share some ways to use mirrors to your advantage at home, with some of our top mirror picks now available from Maldini.

Bring the outdoors in

When natural lighting is limited in a room, position a mirror so that it reflects light and nature indoors. Placement is key here, so be sure to position your mirror with a gorgeous view of the outside. A garden, pretty patio or greenery would make for a welcome view – and an extension of your exterior spaces inside, with the magic of a mirror. In the same way, be sure not to place mirrors that only reflect dark areas or cluttered spaces in the home. This will have the opposite effect and can actually make your home feel less appealing.

Blur the boundaries of space

In smaller rooms, mirrors can help blur the boundaries and create the feel of a larger, open space. This trick is often implemented in smaller bistros or restaurants with large wall mirrors that make the interior feel larger than it is. The same can be done in your home or office. Careful mirror placement, especially with oversized wall mirrors, can blur the boundaries of the space and make your room feel airier and more elegant.

Use mirrors as artwork

Beautiful framed mirrors, and mirrors in interesting shapes and sizes, can function as artwork in a room. Place a stunning mirror as centrepiece on your wall and let it do the talking on your behalf. This is also a great way to create added interest in your space and create a sense of luxury.

Brighten up a room

Mirrors can help to make a room feel brighter, happier and more elegant. A sleek mirror against a wall can help to reflect your luxury finishes and add to the overall aesthetic of the room.

Add to the theme or look of a space

If you are following a certain aesthetic, then a mirror can help to complement and enhance the look you want to achieve. For instance, the below mirror of Africa adds presence to a room, and can help amplify a certain aesthetic. It gives the room presence and establishes a set thematic look in this space.
