Mirror Effect Decor

May 15, 2024 Sarah W

Mirror, Mirror, Who is the fairest of all?

Answer is…. scroll down to the end to see the answer.

You(?) or the snow-white evil queen asks, and the mirror will answer you right back with an honest reflection of your self-image, also making the visual body double of you by its mirroring effect. Have you seen yourself in the mirror recently? Some might even haven't the time while some have too much time on their hands playing a narcissist or spending time finding unnecessary flaws in yourself.

Whatever the case is, the mirror has been part of our daily lives throughout human history for its function of checking ourselves as a vanity tool and as a decorative item.

This mirroring quality is not only good for reflecting ourselves but also can beautify our space by making our space more spacious than it is with its multiplying effect. Also, with its sleek metallic shine and clean-cut frame, they have jewel-like quality which can make your decor instantly luxurious.

So how can we decorate with mirrored items? You can certainly invest on new items, but you might already have these at home. You can gather them and rearrange them in a cohesive way for this decor theme. A lot of times, grouping makes a bigger impact than single beauty.

So shall we decorate with mirrors together?

MIRRORS

As the title says this is the main character of this decor. Do not lose the main character and make a single impact by the size or multiply the numbers to anchor the theme and set the tone. On the wall or on the floor, choose mirrors with well structured, geometric and preferably mirror finished frames to maximize the effect.

DECORATIVE ITEMS

Add finishing touch with mirror or silver items such as a jewelry box or holder, picture frame or candle votives. Having some type of textured surface such as mosaic or motif can add fun to the decor.

When finding candle holders, find a container with gold or silver lining. They might not have a mirrored exterior but having an inner mirror would make the piece to fit in the mirror family.

Little mercury frosted glass votives can come very handy. These easily come in dozens or 20pcs and affordable. These little candle votives not only can be used for your festive events but also used as a little flower vase or jewelry holder on your vanity and any tabletops. Place them in any of your living spaces or next to vanity items to instantly beautify the area.

What if you don't want any mirrored items?

No problem. You can make some using mirror stickers!

DIY MIRROR STICKERS

Don't have mirror items? You can try mirror stickers that are self-adhesive and removable to most surfaces. There is nothing more magical than stick and transform! So easy!

A variety of items are available to accommodate your creative project needs - pre-cut mirrors with self-adhesive back or flexible sheet rolls for you to cut and stick. Some come in sets for the wall decal arts. You can also choose plain, pre-cut shape or textured sheets. You can use these to trim or cover pre-existing objects or walls into beautifully mirrored pieces for instant transformation.

Decorate any wall, revamp, or repurpose pre-existing items. But don't go overboard and making the disco party. Stay tasteful and luxurious applying modesty in placing items. Sometimes less is more.
