Used strategically and wisely, a mirror can be a valuable decorative ally in any room, giving it qualities you would never imagine at first glance.
By its very nature, a mirror reflects light, so placing one in the right spot will bring far more brightness to the whole room than simply opening a window would.
The very principle of a mirror is to 'double' the image placed in front of it; this applies not only to us, of course, but to any space it reflects. It goes without saying that placing mirrors in a confined space (such as a small bathroom or a corridor) can literally change how the room is perceived, effectively doubling its width.
A mirror is not just about space and light: depending on its design, it can also add a strong note of character where greater visual impact is needed. The aesthetic impact is immediate: a living area, an entrance hall or a bathroom with a designer mirror is assured of an effective result and, as the saying goes, the mirror 'furnishes the room by itself'.
