Putting mirrors in your house can do wonders, mainly if you have limited space or want to decorate your home. Why mirrors? Because mirrors enhance light and reflection, they could help improve what your house looks like. Mirrors can also simulate depth for houses with small rooms.

I. Top 10 Mirror Tips

10. Put large-sized mirrors in your house. For instance, you could use mirrors that span from the floor to the ceiling. You could put these mirrors on both sides of your fireplace. This would make your fireplace room larger and would reflect objects around the room.

9. You might want to have peer mirrors in the windows. Rooms with peer mirrors could have an added depth.

8. You could also install mirrors to cover wall blemishes. This would also save you refinishing costs. Instead of spending fortunes on repainting and refurnishing that part of the wall that got burned by a candle or has dirt that cannot be removed, why not put a lovely mirror there to hide the wall's scar?

7. There are also movable mirrors that you could use. You could move the mirrors from time to time to have a different view of the house. That way, you could have a new look in your house from time to time, depending on what location and items the mirrors reflect on.

6. You could also use small mirrors, which could reflect on exciting objects. An area with aromatic candles could be given extra prominence if reflected in a mirror.

5. You could also have mirrored screens to illuminate a dark corner. Thanks to mirrors, you do not have to put bulbs or lights in every part of your house. This would save you electricity costs.

4. There are also place mats that are mirrored-dishes and accessories made of glass shimmer better than non-glass ones. Shop around for these utensils.
