When sitting in the living room, if you think there is something missing, then maybe that something is a mirror. Designers have been known to hold mirrors in such high esteem as to say they can bring a whole room’s design together. Other attributes are that they reflect both natural and produced light in a way that can give a space a feeling of depth that will be absent without the mirror.

Though you might not think that there are any rules when it comes to placing mirrors, you may want to reconsider. Before hanging a mirror, check to see what it is exactly that it will be reflecting. If it is that old radiator that you abhor the look of, then another spot for the mirror will probably bring you more joy. In one foul swoop, by allowing for undesirable reflections, you will have gone from the intention of bringing in a positive element, and instead simply directed the attention two-fold to an article you want to deflect from.

Another thing that I advise against is putting small mirrors on large walls to float by themselves. Instead, try placing three of the same small mirror in a group on that large wall. This should establish a more formidable visual, and could just save you a bundle on art.
