Mirrors for Restaurants and Bars

An essential part of modern interior designing is the use of mirrors, particularly to enhance small spaces, and use natural light to change the perspective on them.

By placing them strategically you can do wonders in making the dining room or bathroom appear larger than its original size. They are able to create the illusion of space, and if you want to add focus to your wall, you can use decorative mirrors as well.

In this newsletter will have a look at some hall/dining area mirrors for your restaurant or bar as well as bathroom mirrors options and other tips that may come in handy!

Dining Rooms, Halls and Lobbies

Placing mirrors along enclosed walls can make a hallway appear wider and longer, and if you use a decorative mirror at the end of a stairway it will make it appear longer.
Have a look at the visual impact this mirror – Mirror of Love by Slide, thanks to its huge size, placed right on the floor makes the room look double its size.

Restaurants often use large mirrors, that even cover the whole wall making them look double their size. As you will see with one of our products – Mirrorized by Seletti. This product is especially interesting because you can buy sets of 18 per box and start placing them on the wall as you like best!

Mirrors are also great in dining rooms when there is a chandelier and candles lit. The light will bounce off the light perfectly to create an sense of warmth and intimacy. As seen with this mirror – Showtime by BD Barcelona.

If your restaurant, or bars' hall, bathroom or dining area lacks in natural light, even just at some time during the day, try placing a mirror on the opposite side of the window. The light from outside will naturally bounce off and illuminate the entire space. As seen with this mirror – Ice Rock by Sovet.

Another valuable option is to add a decorative mirror that functions as a piece of art and mirror at the same time. This is particularly smart to use in the lobby, entrance or waiting areas as they create interest among guests. As seen in these mirrors by Seletti below.

Bathrooms

Bathrooms are quite a tricky place to decorate. Usually these spaces are small, and need to have all the elements set up carefully, because it is important curate every single detail in your commercial activity.

The use of a decorative mirror, instead of the usual rectangular ones can really create a centre of focus for the bathroom, and lessen the need to have other intricate objects to catch the attention. In bathrooms, use mirrors to solve two problems at once! You may see this concept in use with this mirror – All Saints by Kartell.

Another useful tip is to Double, or even Quadruple up!

The use of the Goccie di Rugiada by Sovet sums up this concept quite clearly. In this case it helps in covering almost the entire wall, thus avoiding the need to add anything else to complete the ambience.

Or maybe, why not light the mirrors up?

Sometimes you may need two things at once, so why not go for a mirror with lighting that is incorporated within? With this option you may avoid the need to put any other light in your bathroom and create a soft and warm atmosphere. As you may see with these two mirrors - the Luminaire by Seletti and the one below by Inda.
