10. Position Strategic Mirrors to Double Daylight and Depth
Mirrors act as virtual windows; they reflect ambient daylight, bounce interior lighting into dim corners, and double the perceived visual footprint of compact rooms. Placing a medium or large mirror directly across from or adjacent to a window catches incoming sunlight and casts it across adjacent walls, brightening the room naturally.
If wall mounting feels difficult, rest a tall full-length floor mirror against a sturdy wall in a bedroom or hallway. For added style, shop second-hand thrift stores for antique framed mirrors; a quick wipe down or a subtle metallic wax rub restores vintage frames and adds timeless character to modern interiors.
