The mirror between myth and utility


With complex symbolism ranging from divinity, mysticism, self-knowledge, vanity, excessive self-admiration, and the occult, the mirror is as fascinating as it is useful.

Thousands of years ago, the flat glass mirror as we use it today was only invented in the 12th century by Murano glassmakers. Venice keeps the secret and monopoly of its manufacturing for 500 years.

Beyond all this fascinating aura, the mirror, now accessible to anyone, has become indispensable, being used both to reflect one’s image and to furnish interiors, adding elegance and spaciousness through the reflection of light.

Here are some decoration ideas with mirrors of different shapes and sizes that will create magic in your home.

Small wall mirrors:

Made in different shapes, in frames with multiple facets and edges, they can be used in a mirror gallery on a large wall in the living room or bedroom, creating a beautiful decoration.

Floor mirrors.

Perhaps the most spectacular mirrors in terms of the decorative input they can make, these tall pieces mounted on the wall as close to the base as possible or simply placed on the floor against the wall offer spaciousness and brightness. With geometric or antiqued frames, wall mirrors successfully ennoble corridors, bedrooms, but also dining rooms, giving an air of timeless royalty.
