Scientific tests have shown that those people who have mirrors spaced around their house are likely to get on better in life and exhibit more confidence. helping improve one’s self confidence, mirrors help you with interior decorating issues, particularly if you do not have much space to play around with.

Decorating experts will advise you to hang a free standing mirror if you want to produce the effect of having more room. If it’s a case of a partition that is not as large as you would like it to be and you’re not enamoured at the idea of taking down partitions or altering all the furnishings with something that might make the room appear wider, a few well positioned whole wall mirrors might very well have the desired effect. By reflecting the whole of the room, mirrors will give the impression that there is double the room available.

But, you can’t simply go hanging mirrors anywhere. Mirrors cannot do any good if large pieces of furniture are blocking them, for example. Select a wall that will give people fewer opportunities to see the reflections because this will reduce the effect of space that you’re trying to create – across from some good oak bookcases might prove an excellent spot.

Of course, mirrors are integral with some items of household furniture in certain rooms – vanity sinks, for example, will have a mirror to increase the sense of space.

To create the best effect, study the layout of the room and find those parts of it that are not likely to be opposite where people will be sitting. Don’t forget – the mirrors do not have to cover the entire surface of the wall, just the whole height. If you get it right, your floor-to-ceiling mirrors will give the illusion that there are passages into different rooms, building the illusion of space.
