How should the furnishing mirrors be positioned in the house?

Furnishing mirrors at home have the great ability to reflect natural light and expand it, illuminating even the darkest corners. They visually make a rather narrow space wider but must be placed in the correct way. Hanging or resting on the floor, therefore, the furnishing mirrors should be positioned in optimal points. The living area, the entrance and the bathroom are the rooms of the house where they find a good location. Kitchen and office are the least suitable rooms for mirrors as they can create disorder.

The ideal place for a furnishing mirror is undoubtedly the entrance to the house. Here it is very practical and functional, and creates the feeling of a more spacious, bright and therefore welcoming entrance: an excellent business card for those who enter the house.
