Mirrors are a great accessory for any home; they can make a room look bigger and brighter when placed in the right location on the wall. In addition, mirrors allow you to check yourself before leaving the house to avoid any embarrassing moments. In this article, we are going to look at the top places to hang a mirror in your home.
Over the bathroom sink
A bathroom isn’t complete without a mirror; in fact, it can be very strange if you go into a bathroom and they don’t have a mirror over the sink; you almost expect one to be there automatically. This mirror is practical and aesthetically pleasing; when you’re brushing your teeth, shaving or applying makeup, the mirror will help you get things right and avoid embarrassing situations where you have toothpaste around your mouth. Many bathroom mirrors are combined with a bathroom cabinet where you can keep all of your medicines and any beauty products you might need when you’re in the bathroom. This is one place that should always have a mirror.
Bedroom or dressing room
When you’re getting ready in the morning, a full-length mirror is helpful so you can check your outfit and ensure you look great. Choose a place where you can stand back to see your full body; this will help you get a true picture of your outfit and help you decide if you need to change anything before you head out for the day. If you have a dressing room, your full-length mirror can be placed here, as this is where you'll be getting ready and trying on different clothing.
By the front door
When you’re ready to leave the house, a mirror by the front door is perfect for those last-minute checks. You can quickly fix your hair or make sure there’s nothing in your teeth. In addition, guests can use the mirror by the front door to check themselves when they enter your home. A mirror can be placed above a console unit or a table where you can leave your keys and anything else you might need close to the front door.
Opposite a window or patio door
In your living room or dining room, a mirror can be the perfect way to make the space feel larger and brighter. If you want to achieve this, try hanging oak mirrors on the opposite wall to a window or door. The mirror will reflect the light from the window or door, making the whole room feel brighter and bigger. This trick can be great for small or narrow spaces that lack natural light.
In a child's room
Mirrors are fun and interesting to children; they can be practical when placed in your child’s bedroom. You can make up games using the mirror and use it as a way to entertain your child. In addition, they can use it to see what their outfits look like when they get to the age where they start choosing their own clothing. For babies and smaller children, a mirror can be useful for parents to see if their child is sleeping on their shoulder or to get a glimpse of them playing over the other side of the room without interrupting them. In addition, if your child’s room is the smallest room in the house, a mirror will help open up the space making it feel lighter and more inviting in the daytime.
These are some of the top places to hang a mirror in your home; another great place could be the top of the stairs, this will brighten up this space, and people can have a quick check in the mirror as they walk up the stairs. When hanging mirrors, make sure you do things properly and that the mirror is well secured on the wall. This is especially important if you have small children or are hanging a mirror in your child’s room. It needs to be secure enough that if knocked, it won’t fall off the wall and smash. The mirrors you choose will depend on the decoration of the room and your personal taste, but to keep them looking great, always use a glass cleaner with a suitable cloth.
