However with indoor planting schemes and interior designs using houseplants combined with mirrors is often overlooked.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nUsing mirrors with houseplants in both the home and the office can achieve some great effects especially when combing\u00a0 the mirror or mirrors with lighting. The main benefits of using mirrors in such a design scheme are firstly the addition benefit of light to the plant with the mirror helping to direct more sunlight to the houseplants and secondly the reflections created by the mirror with the reflection of the house plants and indoor plants can make a room seem larger and more interesting The Key to using mirrors in association with house and indoor plants is in the positions they are placed in in relation to each other. There are a number of different possibilities which include using a mirror to direct sunlight onto a plant situated in a corner of a room where the natural light is not that strong and in doing so its often the case that if the mirror is framed within a structure such as an arch or frame the mirror with the refection on the house plant can create the view of another door or window within the room although its only as a refection.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nMirrors can also be placed on the floor or a table and planted around with houseplants breaking up the hard lines of the edges of the mirror to create the effect of a small area of water or a indoor pool with the mirror reflecting the images of the house plants when viewed from above<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As landscape and garden designers we often use mirrors in designing outdoor schemes.
