Choose interesting mirrors for your floor-to-ceiling mirror display.
Decorating your home with floor-to-ceiling mirrors does more than just provide your walls with an interesting-looking visual display. Mirrors make a room look larger, as well as reflecting the light that's already in the room, making the room brighter. There are a number of ways to incorporate mirrors into your decorating scheme besides simply hanging them on the wall. The position of these mirrors works together with the mirrors themselves to create a striking yet unified look.
Instructions
1. Create a focal wall; this becomes the backdrop for your mirror gallery. Choose a wall that stands out, such as the wall that faces your couch. Paint it a vibrant color such as red or bamboo green.
2. Hang your gallery of mirrors on the focal wall. Select mirrors that have frames of different shapes, and arrange them so that they hang from the top of your wall right down to the floor. Mix in candle sconces throughout the display; this creates more light and the mirrors reflect the candlelight.
3. Add mirrored tiles to the walls in the entryway of the house. Choose the kind that have the peel-and-stick adhesive, and hang them so that they cover the whole wall. Position a table with a lamp on the wall opposite the mirrored wall. These provide interesting visuals for the mirrors to reflect.
4. Decorate your fireplace with mirrors. Hang an assortment of mirrors above the mantel, stretching your display to the ceiling. Don't forget the mouth of fireplace in your decorating efforts; lay a mirror on the floor of your fireplace. Arrange candles of different shapes and heights on the mirror. Decorate any built-in bookshelves next to the fireplace with framed mirror displays.
5. Place a mirror on the bottom shelf of a glass-topped coffee table. Position the table, as well as a couch and chairs, in front of the fireplace.
6. Change up the visuals of the mirrors. For example, instead of hanging a long, rectangular-shaped mirror in a vertical fashion, hang several similar mirrors horizontally up the wall.
