How to Use Mirrors to Make Small Rooms Feel Bigger

Opposite a Window

Place a large mirror directly across from the biggest window in the room. It reflects daylight deep into the space, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.

Behind Furniture

A floor-length mirror behind a console table or sofa creates the illusion of the room extending beyond the wall. This works especially well in narrow hallways and compact living rooms.

Avoid placing mirrors where they reflect clutter—you will double the visual chaos. Keep the reflected view clean: a window, a plant, or an art piece.
