Search: Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Whenever I used to think of large mirrors, I would remember my grandma's not-so-appealing mirrored closet doors. Gratefully, now-a-days mirrors have graduated to official art status! Floor mirrors and large wall mirrors are also becoming so popular that many are framing and DIY'ing their own. I love having mirrors in our home.

Here are some reasons why a mirror can be a great investment for a minimalist:

Common use product (viewing oneself)
Wall art and focal point of a room using minimal space while making a big statement
Adds a sense of wealth and class to the space
Can emphasize the height or width of a room
Reflects light, bringing more light into the space so as to appear lighter
Adds personality and compliments the room's decor style in the size, frame style, colors, etc
Reflects the other side of the space so as to make the space appear larger
Can be positioned to reflect a window wherein the window's view is projected to the other side which is especially neat when the window has a scenic view

You almost can't tell which one is the mirror! The placement of this mirror brings in the scenery, adds extra light and the feeling of more space. If the mirror was double in size I think it would have a greater effect.

Hope you enjoyed! Stay tuned for more ideas to create a cozy yet minimalistic space for you and your loved ones.

Happy minimizing!
