How to brighten your home with mirrors
More light in the home thanks to mirrors and glass doors
Ah, winter! That time of year when even the sun decides to hibernate, leaving us in the dark early in the afternoon. To see clearly, is it really necessary to switch on all those lamps? Good news: you just need to use mirrors strategically. Here are some ideas on how to use mirrors for furnishing. Read on!
The wall mirror
Let’s start with the great classic: the vertical or horizontal wall mirror. This element isn’t just useful for checking yourself from head to toe before you go out; it is also essential for making a room instantly brighter. Where should you put it? The golden rule is: opposite the light source. Simply hang the mirror so that it directly intercepts and reflects an artificial light source, such as a floor lamp, a wall lamp, or a table lamp. The result will be a welcoming and visually more spacious environment. Explore the mirror models offered by Scavolini.
The wildcard: the dresser
Did you think the dresser was only designed for storing your best dinner service? This piece of furniture can help you diffuse light if it is designed with mirrored doors. The Every Time collection comprises dressers with domed mirror glass doors or with diamond pattern mirror glass doors, both highly decorative and capable of creating surprising games of light.
Kitchen island with mirrored base units
In the kitchen, you absolutely wouldn’t expect a mirror; it is the last thing you imagine finding among pots and ladles. Yet, Scavolini overturns the rules with the Poetica kitchen model. Here, the base units of the island can be customised with steel glass doors, which create a magnificent mirrored effect. This unexpected detail reflects light (very useful in a practical environment like the kitchen), visually expands the space, and adds a touch of unique elegance to the living area, even during the greyest months.
As you have seen, when furnishing with mirrors... there are not just mirrors! Ask Scavolini dealers for help in incorporating mirrored surfaces into your home!
