The mirror over the head of the bed is not a new technique, but it has long been proven. It allows you to make the interior of the bedroom more original. Sometimes only one detail is missing, for example, the decor near the bed, so that the design idea looks complete and stylish.
Designers advise to decorate the place near the bed in several ways:
• Arrange the mirrors over the bedside tables symmetrically to each other. Place lamps with beautiful lampshades near them. This option is good for an Art Deco interior..
• Hang one decorative sun-shaped mirror above the bed.

5. Instead of a window
If there is a shortage of windows in the apartment or there are none at all in the room, then the mirrors will come to the rescue in this case. They are often used as false windows. To do this, you need to choose mirrors with decorative partitions that create a stained glass effect. You need to hang such a decor item opposite or not far from the window so that the light from it can be reflected in the mirror. If there is no window, then it is advisable to equip the mirror with illumination or hang it at such a level that light from artificial light sources is reflected in it..

6. On the floor
A large tall mirror placed on the floor can solve several painful problems at once. This will create a perspective of the space, a kind of visual corridor that will smooth out the imperfect dimensions of the room. If the room has low ceilings, then a very high mirror (preferably narrow) will make them visually higher. If the ceiling is very high, then you need to hang the mirror closer to the floor, and above it you can place framed photos or posters.
