BROADEN THE SPECTRUM


Toss aside your fear of cramped or cluttered spaces, and start designing your home to be smart and spacious.  Small living spaces do not necessarily restrict your use of decor, but instead, require you to focus on using them to invent optical illusions with the particular use of reflection.  
Although, the use of reflection is the oldest trick in the book, we shouldn’t use it as an excuse to neglect the opportunity for grand and creative design.  Maximise the illusion of depth in your living space by selecting a focal point in the room and positioning mirrors toward it. This will allow a clever play on light.  We have a range of table lamps that provide luxurious lighting, as well as reflective elements upon the design of their stem. These include designs such as our Bond Street Table Lamp, Luxe Table Lamp and Empire XL range, just to name a few.
Mirrors can also be positioned near windows to reflect the natural scenic beauty outdoors, or used to enhance light upon a decorative focal point. Decor should be implemented sparingly to avoid clutter. However, if you find it difficult to minimise decorative features, perhaps it is wise to consider the type of decor in your design. Think outside the box by including a range of decor pieces that possess mirror-like attributes, like reflective metal or glass, to the design of your room. Bold metallic decor pieces, like our Lattice Decorative Stand, stands confidently on its own. Alternatively, our Lexington Mirror Tray and Layla Tissue Box are perfect for a more subtle reflection of space, as well as directing light towards complimenting decorative features.
