Fourthly, a mirror allows you to make the room brighter.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, draws special attention to the fourth "function" of the mirror.

In order for the fixture to really enhance the lighting, you need to choose the most suitable place to install the fixture.

Where to put a mirror

It is desirable that the mirror surface be located in the area where light falls.

And we are not talking about a switched-on lamp. In this case, the reflected light will only disturb a person.

But if the mirror reflects sunlight, the result will be much better.

Therefore, the mirror surface should not be installed on the same wall where the window is located.

But a wall near or opposite a window opening is a more suitable option. In these cases, light will fall into the darkened areas of the room. The room will become much brighter and more comfortable.
