Make the mirrors in your home more than something you want to look into, make them something you want to look at!
Mirrors can be more than the functional reflective surface you use in the bathroom each morning, it's possible that mirrors can be used in every room if you would like. They reflect light, expand rooms, enhance design and can be great conversation pieces or even works of art.
One of the most wonderful things about mirrors are the vast variety in size, shape and style that they come in. All of these things come into play when you are deciding on where you want one placed and how you want it to impact the room. Our golden rule of mirrors is that you want to reflect something beautiful in it!
The most commonly used mirror is the bathroom mirror, but don't let the functionality of it overpower the possibilities of mirrors. Have fun playing with shapes, instead of a rectangular go with a circle, oblong or, something on the ornate side to add interest.

Living rooms, entryways and even dining rooms give you lots of possibilities. One spectacular thing is the size of mirror that these rooms can handle, having a large mirror brightens the room and expands the space dramatically!

In the pictures below the mirrors aren't functional as far as being able to look into it, but act as art pieces instead. It is apart of the design as a bold focal point with a beautiful, unique frame.

This one is not so much a bold focal point, but a subtle part of the design. Still impacting but not stealing the show.

In this picture the ceiling is mirrored. In a wide elongated hallway it is stunning, especially how it catches the reflection of the art on the back wall.
Another place a mirrored ceiling would be great to have is in a dining room above a beautiful chandelier, reflecting the light and the fixture.

Mirror collages are so fun and have endless possibilities as far as style, color, shape and quantity.
