They can really magically transform the interior (while not requiring a lot of money). Here are just a few ways.
1. The illusion of space
Even a small and dark room can look likebigger and brighter with mirrors. It is important to remember the basic rule: vertical mirrors stretch the space, and horizontal ones expand. It is best to hang the mirror on a wall perpendicular to the window, having previously studied how the sun's rays will be reflected from it and whether the mirror will create unnecessary glare. This arrangement will give the room more light and air. If the mirrors are hanging at an angle, there may be an unpleasant sensation of distorted space. Therefore, before you hang the mirror, check what exactly will be reflected in it and whether you like it. Also, experts do not recommend hanging mirrors in front of doors.
