Decorating Guide: Tips to arrange mirror in the bedroom

Below are some tips to help you arrange mirror in bedroom reasonably:

• If you think your bedroom looks too small and cramped, mirrors on one or two opposite walls can make the room appear larger.
• If you can only afford the space or money to have one mirror, it is always best to have the body-length mirror as it will allow you to see your entire style. You can always purchase small, portable self-supported mirrors to assist with putting on makeup etc, which will allow you to sit anywhere in the house that has natural light.
• It is also fun to recycle an old dressing table and give it a new life - you save a lot of money and gain a temporary new hobby to boot. It is not difficult to do and will provide you with years of satisfaction.
• Too many mirrors can make your room look messy if you don't have a clean room. It just doubles the clutter! So make sure to always clean your room.
• Don't get too hung up on buying mirrors. If you don't like the mirrors out there, you can have a local craftsman make a beautiful frame made from recycled timber and even from recycled mirror if you can. This is a very sustainable choice and will also support local craftspeople.
• If you are lucky enough to have a walk-in wardrobe, a body-length mirror should also be installed, with plenty of light surrounding it.
• If you only have small mirrors to work with, you can place them at eye-level or above in a row on your wall, spaced evenly, a few feet apart.
• If you have a large bedroom and can spare the space and afford a stand-alone mirror, then get one. There are many elegant styles available and this will enable you to move the mirror into the natural light if necessary.

Warning:

• Never install normal mirrors on a ceiling. Normal mirrors are too heavy and will fall; not only could the ceiling get badly damaged, but serious injuries could result as well. You must buy lightweight mirrors that are designed for ceilings.
• If you can see yourself in bed with a mirror, cover it at night. Seeing your shadowy image can be scary.
• Do not expose the back of your mirror to direct sunlight, or concentrated heat, as this may harm the silver backing. Take this into consideration when arranging your mirror near natural light; a heavy curtain might assist if you need to place it across a window space
