Want to add more light to your home? Use mirrors. This was done in bygone eras when homes were darker inside or where the weather made a home feel dreary. Mirrors add brilliance, sparkle and a feeling of luxury to your home, especially if they are beveled and nicely framed. They will  make your home feel larger as they will reflect the opposite wall giving the room the appearance of more depth. There are many advantages to this idea:

• Lots of sizes available
  
  
• Lots of price ranges available
  
  
• Can replace artwork
  
  
• Available at discount stores as well as antique or high-end stores
  
  
• Can be fitted to fit any frame
  
  
• Available in different formats: rectangular, square, oval and more
  
  
• Can be used alone or in groupings
  
  
• Can be turned into a collection for future displays
  
  
• For extra sparkle, place reflective objects on a mirrored tray
  
  
• Can be leaned against wall
  
  
• Pair them up with other furniture
  
  
• Can be hung over wallpaper or painted surfaces
  
  
• Especially popular over mantels, in foyers, in halls and bedrooms
  
  
• Look for unusual spots in front of windows, for instance
  
  
• Stick onto room dividers for an unusual treatment

• Be sure it reflects something attractive (such as greenery,pretty or interesting furniture, or artwork..not the ceiling or a blank wall)
  
  
• If hanging the mirror,place it at a useful height
  
  
• If leaning a mirror, be sure to something (such as cork or rubber grips) to keep it from slipping
