It is not recommended to place large furniture or paintings next to the mirror wall. Reflected in mirrors, the designs will visually reduce the size of the room. It is desirable that free space is reflected in them, this is especially true fornarrow hallways. The space expands to the maximum if a window or wall decorated with light wallpaper or material is located opposite the mirror canvas.
It is not recommended to place such decorative elements opposite each other on both sides of the corridor. In this case, the reflection will be distorted, and a person may begin to hallucinate if he often passes along such a corridor.
Mirrors that completely cover the entire wall are installed in spacious rooms (home gyms, swimming pools). Walls made of stacked elements (mirror panels) are suitable for rooms of any size, they give the interior an original and stylish look.
