How to decorate the periphery of the mirror

The round mirror can inject vitality into the room and is the best start to try home decoration. If you want to add interest to the living space and show your personal taste, you might as well try different decoration styles and features. The following article recommends 10 professional interior design schemes using the periphery of the round mirror as the decorative object.

Method 1: Hang a lot of small decorations

Let the large mirror contrast with the small artwork. Use the contrast of the size to give the wall a sense of liveliness and at the same time increase the sense of space visually. Hang the round mirror in the center of the wall to make it the focal point of vision. Then hang some small decorative paintings (such as hand paintings, printed paintings, or portrait paintings) around the mirror.
Choose decorative paintings of different sizes to make the contrast with the mirror size more obvious. For example, you can hang 3 small, 2 medium, and 3 medium to large decorative paintings.
You can also hang large decorative paintings to create the atmosphere of a painting exhibition.

Method 2: beautify the furniture around the mirror

Place tasteful decorations on the furniture around the mirror. Find tables, bedside tables, benches, or other sturdy and flat furniture around the mirror. Embellish these furniture with pillows, books, photos, or other personal style decorations. The decoration will perfectly set off the mirror and even the entire room.
You can put a few pillows upright on the sofa under the mirror.
Use glasses or antique typewriters to decorate bedside tables and desktops to make boring furniture look more lively and interesting.
Place themed decorations on the furniture to create a harmonious and unified effect. For example, you can place decorative boxes and small accessories in the same red hue on furniture.

Method 3: Pull the furniture under the mirror

Rearrange the position of the furniture to make the wall look less bare. The decorative effect of the mirror itself is very effective, but sometimes as long as a table or a dressing table is simply added, the feeling of the entire space will change dramatically. Move the furniture directly under the round mirror, so that the mirror is not only balanced, but the integrity of the room layout is also strengthened.
If you have an elegant dressing table, you might as well move it under the round mirror.
Move the sofa so that it is just below the mirror.

Method 4: place plants

Place a pot of plants under or next to the mirror as an ornament. If the plant is taller, place it on the floor directly below the mirror. If the plants are relatively small and there is a little space around the mirror, place a pot of plants on the furniture next to the mirror, or put several small pots of plants on the shelves around the mirror.
Boldly match different kinds of plants! You can place two pots of Succulents under the mirror, or use one pot of Succulents with a pot of long vines. In short, you can put out whatever you like.
If you like bright colors, use a vase full of flowers instead of ordinary indoor plants.

Method 5: add matching fixtures

Install the mirror in the center of the two lamps. Place two identical table lamps on the left and right sides of the mirror, or install two identical wall lamps, and the room will become very bright. If two wall lamps have been installed on the wall, move the mirror to the center of the lamp. You can also install the mirror between two existing lamps, such as the lamp on the bathroom vanity.
You can place 2 black and white table lamps on both sides of the mirror to create a stylish and simple style.
Don’t worry if you don’t have two desk lamps at home, a chic desk lamp can also add a lot of mood to your mirror.

Method 6: hang an identical mirror

Hang two mirrors on both ends of the wall to create a mirror effect. First hang a round mirror on the far right end of the wall, and then hang the other round mirror on the far left end of the wall. After hanging up, take a step back and check whether the two mirrors are on a horizontal line-this design divides the space in a unique and dynamic way.
You can put furniture or decorations between the two mirrors to further fill the space. For example, pull the table between two mirrors, or hang decorative paintings in the middle of the mirrors.

Method 7: exhibit the mirror

Hang 3 to 4 round mirrors together. Find a wall that is large enough and hang all the mirrors on it. You can arrange the mirrors in triangles or squares. Keep changing the position of the mirror until you are satisfied with this small mirror display.
You can also work on the size of the mirror. For example, you can hang three small round mirrors around three large round mirrors.

Method 8: make a creative picture frame

Find out if there are waste items that can be used to decorate the picture frame at home to add interest to the picture frame. Whether it is old wires, PVC pipes, or cloth strips, it can be used to decorate the frame to make it look lively and festive.
You can use wool to make tassels, or cut old denim into pieces and stick them in a circle around the frame.
You can also cut the PVC pipe into a ring and stick it around the frame.
If the frame itself is already beautiful, paint it in another color.

Method 9: decorate the frame with a plastic spoon

Use hot melt glue to stick colored plastic spoons along the frame. Put a drop of hot melt glue on the back of the spoon and press firmly to fix it on the edge of the mirror. Note that the handle of the spoon faces outwards. The back of the spoon handle should also be fixed with hot melt glue so that the spoon will not shift. Repeat this step until the entire frame is covered with colored spoons. In order to increase the sense of dynamics. You can stick a layer of spoon on top of the first layer.
This decoration method is most suitable for thin or simple mirrors without a frame.
It takes 105 spoons to fill the frame of a small circular mirror with a diameter of 46 cm.
In addition to spoons, clothes-drying clips can also be used to decorate the frame.

Method 10: do not decorate the mirror

Let the mirror become the protagonist of the entire wall. If the frame of the mirror already has an obvious decorative feeling, you can move it to the center of the wall to see how it looks. Some mirrors have a strong sense of design and can stand up a whole wall by themselves without the help of other decorative objects.
If the frame decoration style of the mirror is bold, you can place it at the center of the wall to highlight its unique features.
