“The reason why this mirror behind me works so well is that it mirrors the size of the window adjacent to it.

The size of the mirror is also appropriate because of scale. It relates to the sofa that is directly underneath it. I could have placed a large artwork above the sofa and achieved a similar look. But this room is not very wide and the mirror makes the room feel much larger.

Now, mirrors add lots of light to a room because they bounce any valuable light around the rest of the room.

So remember: mirrors can be a powerful tool when styling your home.”
