The mirror is, today, an object found in every home. Whether for its usefulness or for the beauty it is able to bring to an environment, it can be applied on various types of surfaces and in different shapes and sizes.

In addition to giving the feeling of a larger space, the mirror can bring lightness to a room and even help save energy, leaving the place better lit.

And, although it is most commonly found in silver, the bronze version of the mirror can also be used, a darker shade that guarantees elegance and the transformation of any environment. Tabletops, walls, countertops, panels, coffee tables, and sideboards are just some of the places where this material can be applied, performing its function in the composition of the space with sophistication.

Below are other good reasons to use this model of mirror, which, in recent years, has been widely used by architects and designers in different projects, be they residential or even commercial.

Why choose the bronze mirror?

"The bronze mirror's bet is to innovate, to bring something different to the common use of mirrors", says architect Giovanna Delalibera Evangelista, who also explains that the advantages of this type of object go beyond aesthetics: "Since it is less reflective, this model of mirror is more resistant to scratches and shows them with less intensity".

Light and shadow effects, furniture, and textures can amplify the effects of sophistication, luxury, and sobriety that the bronze mirror can provide.

Where to apply?

And what are the best environments to apply this type of mirror? According to Giovanna, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living rooms are the best options.

"The restroom is better than the bathroom to use the bronze mirror because it is an environment that requires sophistication and is not a place where people stay for a long time, while in the living room, the use is freer and should harmonize with the colors and textures in general. In the bedroom, the bronze mirror can be a great bet with the current trends of cabinets and MDFs (in neutral, beige and gray tones). It is even more luxuriousif used with profiles and handles in the same shade", he teaches.

Where to avoid?

For reasons of practicality, functionality, and visual comfort, according to the architect, one should avoid using mirrors, and mirrors in general, in wet areas with direct contact with water and grease.

"In addition to the possibility of moisture stains over time, the water droplets and steam themselves, when drying on the surface, leave a somewhat dirty and foggy look, and must be cleaned constantly. In the kitchen, applying it to a low unit where grease is present also requires constant and careful cleaning of the mirror surface, and it is no longer a practical material for the environment."he states.

Another tip from the professional is to avoid using the mirror in environments with a lot of light reflection, since this can cause serious visual discomfort: "It is important not to apply it in front of windows, doors and openings with direct and intense sunlight.And lastly, the mirror should not be used in environments that require good acoustic absorption, because it is a smooth surface of considerable sound reflection", Giovanna concludes.
