Places in the apartment where you can and cannot place a mirror: advice from a designer

A mirror will become an interior decoration and make the room cozy only if it is placed correctly.
If you place a mirror surface in an inappropriate place, then being in the room will become less comfortable for a person.
It is necessary to ensure that the mirror visually expands the space without disturbing residents and guests.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, listed the places where the device should be installed.
The specialist also explained where you shouldn’t place a mirror.
Best Places for a Mirror
Placement opposite a window and opposite a wall with furniture are ideal options. In these cases, the room will really seem more spacious.
You can hang a mirror on the part of the door that “looks” into the room.
The inside of a closet door is also a good place for a mirror surface, since the latter can be “hidden” at any time.
A mirror is never superfluous in the hallway and in the bedroom. And in the bathroom, you can’t do without this device at all.
Worst Places for a Mirror
The mirror surface should not be placed directly opposite the door. The point is that a person entering the room will immediately see themselves. For guests, this will be unexpected and sudden: at first, they may think that there is already someone in the room. And such situations should be avoided.
The mirror should not be placed opposite places where there is often disorder. For example, opposite the work or kitchen table. Why "double" the mess?
In addition, the mirror should not be placed opposite an empty wall or darkened areas. This option is unlikely to visually expand the room.
