Mirrors can be a great asset to a home
When people think of mirrors, most of the time, they think
of looking at themselves, but in a home, Mirrors can do a great deal to enhance
the look and perception of your home.
I talk to people all the time about square footage and how overrated
the number is. The spacing in your home and the way it is laid out is much more
important than the actual number when it comes to a home. Mirrors can make a
small room look much larger and make a stuffy room seem much more inviting.
Think about movies and how they use smoke and mirrors to
make you think you see one thing when in reality you really see something all together
different. Lighting and mirrors are the reason for the deception and in the
case of a home, lighting and mirrors can make the difference between open space
and closed room.
Think of it this way, when you look into a room, you see what
you perceive to be there not what is really there. You only use a small section
of the space you see, so if you walk into a room that is 10 ft long, you will rarely
use the entire 10 ft space, but 10 ft looks like a very small space. If you
put mirrors at the rear of the room, the 10 ft looks much larger and he room
looks much more inviting, even though you are still using the same space that
you had before.
I guess you could say, it is a bit of a deception, but in
reality, you are only enhancing the space that you have, just using a little of
the smoke and mirrors that the movies use.
In my business of Property
Management in Anaheim Ca. I understand how people want more space and even
though I explain to them how square footage is not as important as usable
space, seeing is believing, so if a home is properly decorated with the correct
enhancement of light and mirrors, it makes my job much easier to convince
people that perception is not always reality, but the need for the larger
square footage is not always what they need.
I know all this can be confusing, but if I showed you two
100 square foot rooms and one of them had 4 plain walls and one of them was
decorated with light and mirrors, the mirrored room would look huge compared to
the plain room.
As always there are correct ways to use mirrors and then the overuse,
You really need to take the time and investigate the proper way to decorate with
the correct lighting and mirrors, but if you do it right, you can turn a small
room and in extension a small house into a larger looking home. Just remember,
Smoke and Mirror and you can create just a as they do in the movies.
