Homlovely.com - In addition to functioning as a complementary element to the dressing table which is generally placed in a frame or hung, now a mirror can also function as a home interior element. Mirror as home interior element is often used to make a room look more spacious. You can do it by installing a large mirror on the wall. For instance, you can install a large mirror which stretches from the floor to the ceiling.

The first thing you need to consider is the initial design because it will be very influential on the installation technique and type of mirror. You also need to determine the position of the mirror, whether it will be placed on the wall fully or just part of it. You may also place a mirror on the door so that the room look more spacious. You cannot put furniture carelessly because it may violate your goal in making the house look larger. Place the furniture next to the mirror on the wall.
Accurate Room Measurement

The thickness of the mirror affects the design itself. Mirrors without frames generally have a thickness of about 5 mm. It is commonly used as an interior that is placed in a wider field. Avoid choosing a mirror with a thickness of less than 5 mm as it will only result in shadows that are distorting. But if you want to apply a mirror with a frame, you can choose the one with a thickness of 3 mm.
