With the AFL Grand Final weekend here, Victorians are getting ready for a well-earned long weekend. The Friday before the AFL Grand Final is a public holiday in Victoria, making it the perfect opportunity to slow down, spend time with family and friends, entertain at home or simply enjoy a little extra time in your space.
Whether you're hosting a Grand Final gathering, getting ready for a night out or using the long weekend to refresh your home, a few simple styling changes can make your space feel brighter, more welcoming and ready for the weekend.
And one of the easiest ways to make an impact? Add a mirror.
Make Your Entryway Feel More Welcoming
The entryway is the first part of your home guests see, so it's worth giving it a little attention before the long weekend.
A decorative wall mirror can instantly add visual interest while helping a smaller entryway feel more open. Pair a mirror with a console table, a small plant or a few simple decorative pieces for an effortless entrance.
For compact spaces, consider a wall-mounted mirror that doesn't take up valuable floor space.
Create a Stylish Getting-Ready Area
If your long weekend includes heading out to watch the game, meeting friends or enjoying a dinner, a full-length mirror is a practical addition to your bedroom or dressing area.
A full-length mirror lets you check your outfit from head to toe while also making the room feel more spacious. Best World Australia's range includes freestanding and full-length mirrors in different shapes, sizes and finishes to suit a variety of interiors.
For a modern look, try a simple rectangular design. If you prefer something softer and more decorative, an arched or curved frame can add a statement element to the room.
Make Your Living Space Feel Bigger
Hosting friends at home over Grand Final weekend? Mirrors can help make entertaining areas feel brighter and more open.
Large wall mirrors are particularly useful in living rooms, dining areas and open-plan spaces because they reflect light and create the impression of additional space.
Consider positioning a large mirror opposite a window or another light source to maximise the amount of natural light reflected around the room.
Give Your Home a Quick Weekend Refresh
You don't need to completely redecorate your home to make it feel different.
Sometimes, moving furniture around, changing a few decorative pieces and introducing a new mirror can be enough to refresh the look of a room.
If you're working with a smaller apartment or townhouse, mirrors can be especially useful. They add style without taking up much visual or physical space and can help rooms feel more open.
Ready for the Long Weekend?
Whether you're hosting friends for the AFL Grand Final, heading out to celebrate or simply enjoying a quiet weekend at home, it's a great time to give your space a little attention.
A well-placed mirror can be both practical and decorative, helping to reflect light, create a sense of space and add personality to your home.
