On which walls you can’t hang a mirror: common mistakes in interior design — designer’s conclusions
Installing mirrors is a great way to visually expand a room and make it more illuminated.
However, when using reflective surfaces in the interior, many people make serious mistakes.
Usually it is about the incorrect positioning of the mirror.
Of the four walls in the room, only two are suitable for a mirror surface.
This important point was highlighted by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior design , Yulia Tychino .
Where you can't place a mirror
The reflective surface should not be located on the wall opposite the window.
Ignoring the rule will lead to "confusing" the space. A "labyrinth effect" will arise, negatively affecting the appearance of the room, as well as the well-being of residents and guests (dizziness is possible).
Hanging a mirror on the same wall where the window is located is also not a good idea: in this case, the room will receive less additional light. In addition, the door may be reflected in the mirror, and this should be avoided.
Therefore, only walls located perpendicular to the window are suitable for a reflective surface.
