Today the fireplace is not only functional, but also the main decorative element in many homes. Aesthetic appearance, chic design, high performance - that's what these models have "incorporated" into themselves. The main advantage of modern fireplaces is that they can be installed not only in a private house, but also in an apartment. In such cases, electrical options are used, which are characterized by high safety. Often, fireplaces are complemented with various decorative elements, and the most popular component is a mirror.

The mirrors above the fireplace do more than just a decorative role. They are a functional part of the room, and therefore are often used in modern interiors. The main advantage of such an item is that it visually makes the room more spacious and larger. The mirror gives the room aesthetics and emphasizes all the luxury of the interior.
The use of such an element in a setting is of particular importance for many people. According to ancient science - Feng Shui - a mirror located above the fireplace traps the strong energy of fire in the house. Fans of this theory believe that such a solution in the interior can bring good luck to the owners of the house.
Basically, the fireplace, located in the central part of the room, is decorated with just such products. For a more harmonious picture, neat small lamps in a symmetrical design are fixed on both sides of the mirror. This solution brings a touch of romance and a kind of chic to the interior.
Luminous elements are often placed inside the mirror. They are fixed in the side parts, but in such cases miniature models are used. The mirror, complemented by illumination, brings more warmth and comfort to the atmosphere.
How to choose
The choice of a suitable mirror depends on the style in which the room itself and the fireplace are made. If this is a classic interior, then it is best to give preference to massive options with beautiful side trim. Fireplaces and mirrors with candles look interesting. It is worth noting that similar solutions with these lighting elements were used earlier, and were a kind of tradition. Today, candles are rarely used even in classic interiors, and they perform an exclusively decorative role.
