Decorate Your Life and Home With Mirrors



They capture images of our lives and allow us to see ourselves and the many moods of our lifetime. Mirrors are positive additions to the décor in any home, bringing a new perspective to the personality of our home. Like a looking glass into our personality decorative mirrors will showcase whatever we choose, whether it be a wide decoratively framed mirror over the fireplace mantle or a smaller example installed in a bathroom.
Interior decorators love mirrors for the effect
Mirrors can create the illusion that a room or area is larger than it actually is. Decorators love to expand on spaces such as hall ways and corners with mirrors. They may be unframed and not at all decorative yet give the room or area an appearance of elegance and majesty in a very affordable way. Mirrors can be items used for purposes of vanity when used in dressing rooms or bathrooms to perform personal toiletry tasks such as shaving and applying makeup.
Mirror on the wall
A mirror can represent many things to people. It congers up visions we may have seen in fairy tales when we were children. The wicked witch appeared in a "mirror on the wall" asking who was the fairest in the land and caused many children to fear mirrors! Of course they later grew up and learned to appreciate the decorative aspects of mirrors in their home. Allowing a grouping of mirrors to accentuate a room can give the appearance an interior decorator has been at work and vastly enhance the appearance of any room in the home. The use of home design and interior decorators is apparently quite different in the UK, varying vastly from how they are utilized in the US. Teaching the intricate style involved in designing a home or business offices can involve many aspects of style and the incorporation of many mirrors, in varying sizes, shapes, and styles can totally alter the appearance of any home or office.
Mirrors cover a wide assortment of purposes
We find mirrors today designed for multiple purposes beyond their purpose as viewing images. Passive devices, acoustic mirrors can direct sound waves, reflecting them into a ray of light such as for a type of radar. They remotely probe the atmosphere using a narrow beam. This diffraction limited light or beam is also used underwater for gathering images, also known as sonar. Active mirrors amplify light as they reflect it, and are known as disk lasers. This also requires some external power source. Atomic mirrors can reflect the matter waves making holography possible. This form of light is not of a destructive type and requires a nanometer of resolution to be visible.
Hot mirrors can reflect the infrared light, reducing heat created by optical device lights. This form is also capable of use as a beam splitter. This powerful light source is similar to those in use as microwaves and space heaters.
The fun of observing a "disco" ball can be found on dance floors and these globes are comprised of many tiny cuts of mirror attached to a large ball that reflects light in many colors around an entire dance floor.
Mirrors reflect our lives and apparently make them all the better and brighter when properly applied.
