Some say that if you have a lot of mirrors in your house, you are vain or very concerned with your appearance.  But the truth is mirrors can  have many useful benefits other than showing us our own reflection. 

Mirrors can be used to create light in a room or even use reflection to create the illusion of more space.  By using the correct mirrors and framing one can add atmosphere and style to any room big or small.  Like furniture mirrors come in all shapes and sizes and can draw someone's eye and create interest.  Mirrors can use their reflection to draw attention to something pleasing in the room, like a view from a window.  Grouping frameless mirrors can create a lighter feel to a room especially when positioned across from a window that lets in light itself.  This method can also be used on the wall of a stair case as an alternative to family photos or portraits.  Aligning them with the handrail will not only enhance the view of the staircase but will also bring light from the room below, to an otherwise narrow and dark staircase.

The placement of a mirror in a selected space can depict how the room looks for better or worse. Mirrors are way more versatile then we actually think they are, they can act as one of the best tools for an owner with a small space.

There are numerous ways to place and adjust mirrors to make your space look nicer, here are some ways you can do that:

1) Group them together: Smaller mirrors are a lot cheaper then large mirrors, so buy a few small ones and group them on the wall in the same place.
2) Turn them on their side: This trick works best with long skinny mirrors, it makes any wall look longer instantly.
3) Floor length: Floor length mirrors are great ways to make any space feel taller. Their long shape draws the eye up and carrying it around the room, making any space feel lighter and brighter.
4) Layer them up: By making an entire wall mirrored and then adding smaller, defined mirrors on top, not only are you creating a larger more open-feeling space, but you'll also be giving depth to the space without weighing things down.
5) Fake-mirrored furniture: You can fake expensive designer prices and simply use a glasscutter and mirrored tile found at a hardware store. It’s a lot cheaper with results that can be quite amazing.
