Using mirrors is perhaps one of the most interesting and even fabulous ways to decorate your garden. At first glance, it may seem that such a fragile object would be impractical in the proposed conditions, but believe me, in our time, nothing is impossible.
In most cases, decorative mirrors are made of acrylic, therefore they are more durable and safe. If suddenly they break, you should not worry about the fragments. They definitely won't be able to hurt anyone or harm the plants.
Just like in interior design, on-site mirrors can visually enlarge the space, add light while playing with the sun's rays, multiply the beauty of your garden and bring a little magic. To obtain the most harmonious effect, we recommend that you be especially careful when choosing a place and method for installing the structure.
Garden Mirror Ideas
There are many ways to decorate your garden with mirrors. Below we have provided the most interesting options:
- Professional landscape designers are especially fond of large mirrors. For example, if you place one such mirror in an arch, a “parallel reality” will appear in your garden, changing its size and content depending on the angle of view.
- And by placing the mirror in the gazebo, you will create the effect of "endless" going deep into the garden. That will also visually increase the size of the site.
- Another interesting way is to position the mirror as a background for bright, flowering plants. This will visually double their volume. And a whole blooming field will open before you.
- Mirrors can also be useful for decorating artificial reservoirs. For example, you can decorate a fountain with small elements. Due to the reflection and glare of the sun's rays from the water and the mirror, an extraordinary play of light will be created in your garden.
- It is not necessary to use large structures. Miniature mirrors can also be very interesting to beat your site. For example, by placing them on flower beds, you will accentuate the flowers. Here you can also use ready-made reflective structures in the form of cylinders or balls.
- You can place the mirror in a beautiful frame instead of glass, thereby creating the effect of a window, behind which there are clouds in the sky, or an extension of your garden.
In addition to classic mirrors, other original reflective surfaces and stained glass can also be used for decoration. The main thing here is to give free rein to your imagination. Then you can come up with other, no less bewitching and harmonious options and your decor will definitely not be equal.
