The mirror is an important detail of the interior.
The reflective surface visually expands the space and makes the room brighter.
But mirrors also have their disadvantages. In some cases, they disturb the apartment residents and guests.
If not placed correctly, the mirror surface can pose a serious danger to people.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, listed the places where you should never hang a mirror.
Above the bed
Yes, a reflective surface placed above this furniture can greatly enhance the appearance of the room.
But you need to think first and foremost not about beauty and the degree of illumination, but about safety.
No matter how well a mirror is fixed, it can fall directly on a sleeping person.
Perhaps the probability of such an outcome is not very high, but it is better to play it safe and not hang a mirror above the bed.
Opposite the window in too bright light
Having a reflective surface in front of the window helps to more correctly “fill” the room with light.
But it is possible that it will become too bright.
Therefore, placing a mirror opposite a window facing the sunny side is a bad solution.
Opposite the front door
If a mirror is hung there, the first thing guests will see when entering the apartment is their own reflection.
People who are not used to having a reflective surface opposite their front door may experience discomfort.
In addition, a mirror placed in this place is vulnerable to drafts.
Opposite the dining table
People who eat food should not see their own reflection.
