There are other uses for mirrors. Adding a mirror in a room will open up and brighten a space. Some rooms have whole walls installed with a mirror. This makes the room appear twice its size. They are also great for hiding imperfections on the wall.

But if you find wall to wall mirrors a little too lavish, you can settle for smaller mirrors that you can hang in strategic places in your room. They take all forms and sizes. There are antique mirrors adapted from Venetian art, there are frameless mirrors and there are religious mirrors that feature laser-etched religious icons. No matter the shape and size, mirrors hanging on the wall will add a certain kind of brightness to a room.
