Floor Length
Using floor length mirrors are a great way to make your space feel taller, even if it’s actually not. Because of their shape and the light, your eye naturally moves upward, and from there the eye will continue to travel around the room. The reflection will also help to brighten the space which makes for a lighter, bigger space. Don’t be afraid to use them on their own or even behind a grouping of furniture.
Grouping
If you’re not ready to spend money on one large mirror, try going with an eclectic look by grouping together smaller mirrors. You can make the variety work, or try painting the frames all the same color. This will help brighten any wall in your home and create interesting decor.
In the Kitchen
Most people don’t think to use mirrors in their kitchens, but it is a great way to make this area of your home look larger. First, try putting a mirror behind your stove which is typically a very dark area. It’ll make the space more enjoyable, make it easier to see, and it’ll feel like you have more working space.
You can also use a mirror as part of your backsplash to make the kitchen look larger. You can make the most of your counter lighting or utilize natural light.
Another way to make your kitchen look larger is by adding mirrors to your cabinet fronts. Whether you hire a glass expert to do this or go with a DIY approach, it’ll reflect light and the rest of your kitchen to get the feeling of a bigger space.
Lastly, use a large mirror next to your dining room table. You’ll feel like you’re sitting down to dinner at a table set for 20 rather than 4, and you’ll be able to use softer lighting while still seeing what you’re eating!
Besides using mirrors to make your space look larger, you can also use glass in other ways to really open up your space. Try replacing exterior wood doors, with glass panel exterior doors or adding custom etched glass doors. Art glass entry doors or decorative etched glass interior doors are also a great way to creatively use glass and make your space look larger.
