Translation: machine translated
You can rightly use mirrors to look at yourself, however, it gets interesting when you use them as decorative objects. It matters little whether it is a wall object or a piece of furniture: the light effects that the surfaces reproduce are magical.

Alone or in a group
Of course, it is nothing new to hang a mirror on the wall. If, however, you decide to fix several of them in the same place, then it is a bit. On the whole, compositions like Aytm's 'Unity' become wall decorations and the original function takes a back seat.
If you hang a single one, location is key. Why not frame it on the wall next to a coffee table or fix it above the sofa. That way it will have a greater effect.
Daring combinations
The combination of a bedside table and a mirror is the grown-up version of the dressing table you have always dreamt of. Alternatively, the combination in the entrance area is suitable for a last look before leaving. Just like picture frames, mirrors do not always have to be hung on the wall. They look good even if they are only placed on a bedside table or chest of drawers. Caution: there is a danger that they will fall, so it is important to fix them well.
Mirrors with pedestal
Pedestal mirrors such as "Friedrich by Objects of our Days make the room appear larger and are impressive decorative elements. Place them in corners to save space or lean them against the wall opposite the windows. The dynamic that is created will blow you away.
