Installing a mirror is a popular way to visually expand a space and add light.
Thanks to reflective surfaces, the room begins to look more spacious, illuminated and comfortable.
But a mirror can turn from a useful device into a completely unnecessary interior detail.
This happens when an item appears in an inappropriate place.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told where it is not worth placing a mirror surface.
The mirror should not reflect either the entrance or the interior door.
Otherwise, the device will turn into a thing that deprives the interior of harmony.
The thing is that a person entering an apartment or a room will immediately see his reflection. This is not very pleasant.
And while household members may still get used to this situation, guests will definitely feel uncomfortable.
The mirror should be positioned so that it is comfortable for a person of any height to look into it.
You should not hang the mirror surface too high or too low: in these cases, household members simply will not see their reflection.
In addition, the mirror will not cope with other important functions. We are talking about visual expansion of space and adding light to the room.
