5 Ways to Use Mirrors to Make Your Space Look Bigger

Mirrors can transform a room, boosting the feeling of space and adding a cool flash of glamour.

Beyond their practical use for checking your appearance, mirrors can create fascinating optical illusions, seeming to expand a cramped nook or endow a generous space with a wow factor. Here are five creative ways to use mirrors to open up your space:

Prop and Go

A huge full length mirror propped against a wall can dramatically boost the sense of space in a room. You can easily reposition it to refresh the look, and it's a versatile piece to take with you if you move. Placing some furniture in front of the large mirror softens any glare and adds visual interest to the reflection.

Fill the Alcoves

Mirror tiles fitted into alcoves beside the fireplace can add elegance and make a compact living area feel roomier. The symmetry of the seating enhances the reflections, creating an extended illusion of space. Opt for tiles with a soft finish for a gentler look compared to a single, super-shiny wall mirror.

Reach to the Top

In a narrow bedroom, a large wall mirror placed high above the bed adds depth without overwhelming the cozy ambiance with too many reflective surfaces. A tall, slender arched mirror can create an expansive feel while maintaining warmth in the room.

Boost a hallway

A gold mirror attached to one wall can bring brightness and depth to a hallway, which often feels gloomy or cramped. A simple round mirror will bounce light around and instantly brighten the space, making it appear wider and more welcoming.

Enlarge Even the Smallest Room

Prevent a small powder room from feeling too cramped by installing bathroom mirrors on one wall. Using a black frame mirror adds a modern and chic touch, turning the mirror into a stylish focal point while visually enlarging the room.
