Hall Of Mirrors: Small Rooms, Huge

Mirror walls make rooms look bigger and brighter. We show 10 successful examples.

Optical illusion: Mirrored surfaces lend small kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms an expansive look: 10 amazing mirror effects.

1. Mirror surfaces in the dormer windows Roof dormers

mirrored to the side provide extra light in this apartment in Montpellier, France. The triangular surfaces reflect the panorama in front of the window in several ways and seem to extend it into the interior of the living room in the Scandinavian style .

2. A mirrored kitchen wall creates illusions

Normally, the upper cabinets are located in the upper part of a fitted kitchen. Not so in this apartment in Barcelona, where a mirror surface above the white kitchen unit looks up. As a result, not only more light enters the room - the wooden struts of the shelf and frame construction are mirrored several times.

3. Cooking in the narrow hall of mirrors

If the mirror were not, this London kitchen would probably stand out, above all, because of its tubular cut - and negatively. But it seems spacious. Instead of using a series of wall cabinets, the right wall was fitted with mirrors. The kitchenette underneath gives the impression of a cooking island standing free in the room.

4. A mirrored splash guard instead of shoulder view

But even smaller mirrored surfaces change the spatial effect. In this Scandinavian-style kitchen , a mirror serves as a splash guard, bringing an old brick wall and some green from outside into the room. This makes the British terraced house a little warmer and more comfortable than before.

5. Look in the cupboard

Even when preparing the morning coffee, the inhabitants of the same house in England do not have to forego the view outside. Because that is reflected behind the closet doors.

6. Light

reflection on the shelf To make it big with small mirrors - in the Berlin one-room apartment , the architects from Rare Office succeeded with several mirrored shelves in the wall.

7. Mirror

strips for widening Mirrored horizontal stripes make this Canadian living room not only bigger, but above all wider. In the interplay with wood-paneled stripes, the atmosphere remains cozy and warm despite the mirrors.

8. Mirror grid instead of industrial

windows What works from a distance like a historic industrial window with black steel rungs turns out to be a successful optical illusion in this eclectically furnished living room. 48 square mirrors in the grid on the black wall create a generous spatial effect with industrial appeal.

9. Antique mirror wall with soft focus in the bedroom

Large glossy mirror surfaces sometimes appear cold and repellent: not ideal for use in the bedroom. That's why the interior designer chose antique-style mirrors in this London bedroom. The blurred areas, which also break the light in an advantageous way, have the same effect as softening, without diminishing the room-enlarging effect.

10. Mirrors turn the small hallway into a large entrance hall

Bright white walls to the white floor already widen the corridor of this small house in the Scottish county of Aberdeenshire anyway. A completely mirrored wall makes the illusion of a generous entrance perfect.
