MIRRORS can be divided into two types:
RECESSIVE and Decorative. When
they are at their most creative is when they are recessive. That is, when their presence is so
subtle as to not even know they exist.
What these so-called blind mirrors do is to expand space in without you knowing it - it’s magical. For instance, when placed in a narrow
hallway, a recessive mirror will make the hallway look twice as wide. In
addition to opening up a space, these type of mirrors reflect a lot of
light. Placed at either across
from or at an angle near a window, the recessive mirror opens up the view by
reflecting the landscape beyond.
These mirrors are not self-conscious, like their cousins, but rather
they seem to disappear. So, when built in to cabinetry, you get double the
space - it’s something for nothing, so to speak. The recessive mirror really captures the inside of the room
so magically.

My favorite mirror treatment is the
use of convex mirrors on an entire wall either in an entryway or behind a bed.
Mirrors are enchanting and are like jewels of a space. They provide additional
light and texture to a room. Use a mirror opposite to a window and you will
bring the sun and foliage into the home. Also, mirrors are a great alternative
to artwork. Find an amazing vintage frame and the frame becomes the center of
attention.
