Placing a mirror in a dark corner makes the space brighter and more airy
In interior design, mirrors not only have the effect of illuminating but also help reflect light, making the space more spacious and lively. According to some popular feng shui beliefs in Asia, the reasonable arrangement of mirrors can contribute to improving the energy flow in the house.
Dark corners or areas lacking light often create a feeling of stuffiness, making the space heavy. Placing a mirror in this area helps reflect natural light or lamp light, making the room brighter and more comfortable. Many interior design experts recommend choosing round or oval mirrors to create a soft feeling, avoid sharp corners that cause visual tension.
In addition, mirrors can also be placed at missing corners in the house. In houses that are not square due to design or limited area, mirrors help create a feeling of a more complete and balanced visual space.
According to Dr. Cliff Tan - interior design and feng shui expert at Studio Dear Modern, Vancouver, Canada, mirrors are useful tools in adjusting light and feeling the space. He believes that when placed in the right position, mirrors can make the room brighter and create a balanced and comfortable feeling for people living in the house.
The dining room and dressing room are places where mirrors can easily create a positive effect.
The dining room is considered a place to connect family members. Placing mirrors in this area helps reflect light and the image of the dining table, making the space more spacious and cozy. According to feng shui beliefs, the image of the dish being reflected also symbolizes prosperity and fullness.
However, experts recommend choosing mirrors with sturdy frames, avoiding using cracked mirrors because they can create a sense of insecurity in the living space.
Another suitable location is the dressing room or wardrobe. Full-body mirrors are convenient when tidying up before going out, and also create a more confident and neat feeling. According to interior designers, mirrors should be placed in a reflection position from the side instead of facing directly the door of the room to avoid glare or discomfort.
Reasonable mirror arrangement not only helps increase the aesthetics of the house but also creates a brighter, harmonious and more comfortable living space for family members.
