Mirrors are well-known for their amazing ability to reflect light, so they can make rooms lighter.

They can also make them look more spacious, and it's extremely useful for smaller apartments.

Here are a few mirror hacks that can help.

Placement

Position mirrors across from windows or sources of natural light. 

This allows the mirrors to reflect the light, making the room brighter and more spacious.

The natural light bouncing off the mirrors creates a sense of depth and openness.

Wall-Mounted Mirrors

Choose large, wall-mounted mirrors to maximize the reflection and create the illusion of expanded space. 

Place them on a wall that is perpendicular to the windows or at a focal point in the room to enhance the sense of depth.

Mirror Panels

Consider using mirror panels or a full-length mirror on the closet doors or as a wall accent. 

Mirror Placement

Experiment with different mirror placements to find the best arrangement for your room. 

You can try placing mirrors on opposite walls to create a sense of infinity and openness. 

Reflective Furniture and Accessories

Incorporate reflective surfaces through furniture and accessories, such as mirrored coffee tables, mirrored trays, or glass tabletops. 

These reflective elements can bounce light around the room and contribute to the overall illusion of space.

Floor-Length Mirrors

If possible, opt for floor-length mirrors that reach from the floor to the ceiling. 

This elongates the walls and creates a sense of verticality, making the room appear taller and more open.
