How to integrate a large mirror into your interior?
A true decorative ally, a large mirror structures the space, brings light, and enhances the decoration of any room. Strategically placed, it can visually enlarge the space, diffuse natural light, and become a central element of the decor. Whether you're looking to create an impression of space or add a touch of elegance to your interior, the mirror is a wise and versatile choice.
Discover how to choose and place your mirror according to your needs and the different rooms in your home.
The benefits of a large mirror in your interior
To visually expand the space
One of the main advantages of a large mirror is its ability to create an illusion of space. A mirror placed facing a window or glass door creates an impression of depth. This trick is particularly effective in small spaces, hallways, or attic rooms.
Our favorite: The VICTORIA mirror oval is perfect for this use. Its large dimensions and integrated LED strip enlarge the space while adding a contemporary luminous touch to your interior.
To bring more brightness
Light is essential for creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere in a home. A well-placed mirror acts as a natural brightness amplifier by reflecting natural and artificial light, thus reducing shadowed areas and making a room more inviting.
In a poorly lit room, place a mirror facing a window to capture and diffuse daylight throughout the room. Similarly, at night, the mirror reflects the artificial light from your lamps and wall sconces, creating a soft and enveloping atmosphere.
Our decorating tip: To maximize this effect, pair your mirror with wall sconces or strategically placed lamps. The combination of the mirror and light sources significantly amplifies the luminous effect for a warm atmosphere.
To structure and accentuate the decoration
Beyond its functional aspects, a mirror becomes a decorative element in its own right, especially when it has a crafted frame:
- Un miroir aux lignes épurées et minimalistes s'intègre parfaitement dans une ambiance moderne et contemporaine.
- Un miroir avec un cadre doré ou en rotin apporte une touche chic à votre intérieur, parfait pour les styles plus romantiques.
Our favorite: The MARGAUX mirror in aged gilded metal is ideal for adding a touch of elegance to your interior. Its crafted frame brings character and becomes a true decorative element.
Where to place a large mirror according to the rooms?
In the living room: a decorative focal point
The living room is the ideal place to install a large mirror, bringing charm and structuring the space. Placed above a sideboard, fireplace, or sofa, it draws the eye and balances the space.
Our decorating tip: For a sophisticated effect, opt for a mirror with a gilded frame. It pairs particularly well with deep tones such as midnight blue, emerald green, or burgundy.
Our favorite: The ELOISE mirror in brass finish is ideal for a bright living room. Its metallic finish brings a touch of sophistication while remaining timeless to integrate into different decorating styles.
In the bedroom: between practicality and cozy ambiance
The bedroom is an intimate space where the mirror plays a dual role: functional and decorative. A full-length mirror allows you to check your outfit before going out and visually enlarges the room, which is recommended for small bedrooms.
Our decorating tip: In a bedroom, prefer a mirror with a frame with soft lines and soothing colors to contribute to the relaxing atmosphere. Avoid mirrors with overly angular shapes or very imposing frames that could disturb the serenity of the space.
Our favorite: The MARGAUX cheval mirror in aged gilded metal is an ideal piece for a dressing room or bedroom. Its height allows you to see yourself full-length, while its elegant style fits perfectly into a space dedicated to rest.
In the entryway: an impression of space and light
The entryway is often a transitional zone. A mirror becomes a valuable ally there, bringing depth and brightness.
Placed facing a glass door or decorative console, it captures and reflects light, making the entryway more welcoming.
Our decorating tip: For a refined gallery effect, don't hesitate to combine several small mirrors of varied shapes.
Our favorite: The SALOME mirror in rattan and metal is perfect for a warm entryway. The mix of natural and metallic materials brings a touch of originality that immediately personalizes your entrance.
3 essential rules for successfully integrating a mirror into your interior
1. Choosing the right location
- Face à une fenêtre pour doubler la lumière naturelle et créer une impression d'espace supplémentaire. Cette configuration est idéale dans les pièces orientées nord qui manquent naturellement de luminosité.
- Derrière un meuble imposant comme une table à manger, un buffet ou un canapé pour alléger visuellement l'espace. Le miroir contrebalance le volume des meubles.
2. Highlighting the mirror frame
- En métal doré : pour un effet chic et sophistiqué.
- En rotin ou bois naturel : pour une touche qui réchauffe l'atmosphère et apporte une dimension organique.
- Cadre sculpté ou travaillé : pour un effet plus artistique qui fait du miroir une véritable œuvre d'art murale.
3. Playing with sizes and shapes
The shape and dimensions of a mirror significantly influence its impact on the space:
- Un grand miroir rectangulaire positionné verticalement donne une impression de hauteur, idéal pour les pièces aux plafonds bas. Placé horizontalement, il élargit visuellement l'espace, parfait pour les pièces étroites.
- Un miroir rond ou ovale adoucit l'espace et contrebalance avec les lignes droites des meubles ou de l'architecture.
3 mistakes to avoid when integrating a large mirror
1. Hanging a mirror in a poorly lit location: A mirror does not create light, it only reflects it. Ensure it captures a natural or artificial light source to effectively fulfill its function. If the location you have chosen is naturally dark, place lighting nearby so the mirror can reflect it.
2. Placing it too high or too low: To be both functional and aesthetically pleasing, a mirror must be positioned at the right height. It should ideally be placed at eye level, approximately 1.5 m from the floor for optimal use. A mirror placed too high loses its functionality, while a mirror placed too low can create a sense of compression.
3. Multiplying mirrors without coherence: Their overabundance can create an impression of visual disorder. Favor a large framed mirror as the central element of a room, or if you wish to create a wall composition, ensure that the different mirrors form a harmonious ensemble with varied but complementary shapes and sizes.
A large mirror is a decorative asset that transforms the rooms in which it is installed. By following our advice for choosing and placing it judiciously, you can enjoy all its benefits: visual enlargement of space, optimization of brightness, and enhancement of your interior decoration.
It's up to you to choose the one that will give character to your interior and depth to your daily life!
