Placing a custom–framed mirror in your entryway or foyer is a quick and easy way to bring charm and style to this oft-forgotten space. A well-placed and interesting mirror makes a great first impression and sets the tone for your décor. Let’s not forget that a mirror in the entryway is also functional. The following is information and tips about using framed mirrors in this transitional space.
The Functional Benefits Of Framed Mirrors In The Entryway
There are many functional reasons to place an attractive framed mirror in the foyer.
- A framed mirror in the entry offers the chance to take a last look at your appearance before you head out into the world.
- A mirror in the entryway helps bring light to a small and often underlit space.
- A well-placed mirror makes a small foyer feel spacious and less crowded.
The Aesthetic Benefits Of Framed Mirrors In The Foyer
There are many design and aesthetic reasons to hang a framed mirror in the entryway.
- A mirror’s geometric shape, clean line, and artistic frame add sophistication and a sense of order to the entryway.
- No matter the shape or placement of a mirror, it will reflect light, creating a feeling of space and welcome in a small foyer.
- A framed mirror in the entryway draws the eye, creating an attractive focal point.
- Careful placement of a mirror in the entry is a great way to reflect a more interesting or attractive element of your space into what is often a small, dark area.
What’s The Best Size Of Mirror For the Entryway?
Choose as large a mirror as your space permits to create the illusion of space and make a striking first impression. A full-length mirror is handy for checking your outfit on the way out. A bare foyer benefits from a mirror gallery. The addition of a mirrored wall creates beauty and character.
