Many people still think that mirrors only have one purpose: they are to be used to reflect whatever is in front of them, and especially for grooming and dressing up. However, that’s not necessarily true.
Mirrors today are used for multifarious purposes; with strategic placement, they can reflect both natural and artificial light to make a room appear brighter, while creating an illusion of space.
Designer mirrors are used to create wall art. Available in abstract shapes, tints, and eclectic frames, these mirrors can bring in a vibe that makes the room stand out. They also help to add an illusion/perception of space and depth to a room.
Tinted mirrors bring an interesting vibe in cool hues of bronze and greys for a sophisticated and understated elegance. Combining them with clear mirrors or lacquered glass can create a unique aesthetic.
Mirrors can be your best friends, and help you be the best version of yourself. Mirrors can help you pinpoint minute imperfections and correct them, letting you put your best foot forward where your appearance is concerned.
Stick a motivational or cheerful quote decal on the mirror above your sink or dressing table, to motivate yourself, first thing in the morning. You can also have them on your dressing table mirror, so that when you’re fresh out of the shower and dressing up, you stay motivated.
You can also stand in front of the mirror and read out positive affirmations aloud — you can write your own, or get them from the internet. When you see yourself saying them, you will believe in them and feel more confident.

What mirror shapes work best in small rooms?
If you need mirrors in smaller rooms, we recommend large rectangular or floor-length mirrors. They help to elongate the room, and make it seem larger than it actually is. Rounded or oval mirrors can help in softening sharp edges and bringing visual harmony and a pleasing aesthetic.
Do tinted mirrors serve a functional purpose also, or are they only for aesthetic purposes?
Tinted mirrors in light bronze or dark grey tones help bring in elegant, understated sophistication. They also cut down glare and offer a soft, more ambient reflection. This is great for high-gloss areas or those with ultra-bright lighting.
What is the best height to hang a mirror?
Ideally speaking, the centre of the mirror should be at eye level, which is about 57 to 60 inches from the height after factoring in average height. However, you need to consider the purpose of the mirror and your own height. If it is a full-length mirror for the dressing room, you need to hang it a little lower.
