Give the Illusion of Space with Wall Mirrors
Strategically placed mirrors are some of the simplest home staging tricks to increase your small spaces visually. Bringing in light, breaking visual clutter, or expanding walls, mirrors can help you solve almost any design dilemma. And of course, they are great decorative pieces as well.
If you are looking to make your home appear bigger in order to appeal to more home buyers, these helpful tips will get you started.
Create a Mirror Wall to Enlarge your Room
For rooms that lack windows, accomplishing the feel of additional square footage can often be difficult. But luckily mirrors can help you have the same effect as a window. Placing a large piece of mirror on the wall can quickly add dimension to any space. Even though they may not provide a view to the outside world, they can break up a wall space in an aesthetically pleasing way.
Place a Framed Mirror over the Fireplace
In most homes, fireplace is usually the focal point of the room in which it resides in, but just like mittens, it goes unused during the summer. You can add more emphasis to it by placing a gorgeous framed mirror above the mantel. Not only will help to enlarge the space, it will add a reflective surface to the decor pieces you have on the mantle.
Enlarge your Bathroom Vanity & Bare Walls
It is a well-known fact that bathrooms and kitchens actually sell homes. That’s why if your bathroom is lacking space, giving it an illusion of it using mirrors is a great way to attract buyers. Place a mirror behind your sink in a floor to countertop fashion to enlarge the area and reflect more light. Alternatively, if you have a freestanding bathtub, consider adding a floor to ceiling stand alone mirror at its back.
Bring in more Reflective Light
If your interiors are feeling small and dark, mirrors can help to reflect light into your space. However, this is something you need to do very carefully as too many mirrors can make your house appear like a carnival funhouse rather than a stately home that buyers desire for. Hang a mirror a foot of two behind a pendant light, a hanging chandelier or opposite a window to reflect light naturally and beautifully.
