Making the Most of Small Spaces with Decorative Mirrors


-->Most homes have that one space which seems too small to do anything with – either they block off a space, are positioned at a funny angle or are just too narrow do anything of use with, such as add some shelving or a piece of furniture.  Irritating they might be, but these are actually fantastic places to add a decorative mirror. 
As these mirrors are available in so many great sizes, you can be sure to find something to fit even the most awkwardly positioned of walls to turn into a great feature, rather than just drawing attention to it by leaving it bear.
Funny Angles – Funky Frames

Walls with weird angles can be found in most homes.  Either they are linked to the cupboard under the stairs for example or even in the bedroom.  Don’t despair over what to do with these spaces – they are a great way to show off some more unusual, modern styled mirrors which will give new life to your walls and add some interesting features, as well as detract from the odd shape of the wall.


Think about getting frames which are themselves full of different angles to create an interesting look, or multi facet mirror frames to make it more unique.

Small Walls – Make Them Bigger
A small, narrow wall can sometimes only leave room for a small picture frame of some kind, and probably not of any size large enough to do the image some justice.  A small wall mirror however could be just the solution, it will not only reflect light back into the room but you can play around with frames in a way that you can’t do as well with a photograph. 

There are many ideas for using decorative mirrors on your smaller walls.  A window mirror, for example, not only fills up the space, but also creates the illusion of an actual window, which will help to brighten up the room and make it appear larger than it actually is.

Shut off Walls, Big PossibilitiesWalls that appear to shut off other walls are a decorating nightmare.  Especially if you want to turn these spaces into something pleasant and inviting.  Use an ornate mirror to make the space more appealing. This can also be a way of joining the two walls, rather than having one decorated and the other left bare and cold.

One idea to make the most of these spaces can be to connect the two walls by painting or wallpapering them the same colour and then extend the décor theme to both walls.  A distinctive decorative mirror will be the ideal way to style this.  This will not only help to make your home look bigger but will provide a great distraction from your troublesome wall.

With so many ways to use unique mirrors to enhance the look of all walls in the home, making a decision can be overwhelming.  Fortunately Exclusive Mirrors has a great selection to help make it easier for you.  Check out our great range of styles by clicking here for some fantastic decorative mirror inspiration.
