If you live in a small house (or just have small spaces in a larger house), one great way to make any area look larger is by using a mirror. Mirrors are incredibly versatile, and these days, the possibilities are endless. You can also find plenty of affordable or high end items, depending on your budget, and make them a real focal point of your living areas. I really love mirrors throughout the home, as they reflect light, and can make spaces seem much brighter and more open.

Entryways: Entrances are a perfect place to put a mirror, and round mirrors are a popular choice because they are universally pretty and look good in nearly any space. We love the look of a wooden, round mirror like this one, from the Magnolia Collection.
Bathrooms: Bathrooms can be totally transformed with just a mirror change, so that’s a great option if you’re wanting a temporary or short term option. Some people like to swap out the builder-grade plain mirrors for two vanity style mirrors, like these. The black is super modern and elegant.
Living room: A large mirror can make a huge impact in your primarily living spaces, and can really brighten up a living room or dining room, especially if you have darker furniture or wall colors. We of course, love the fabulous Primrose mirror from Anthropologie, but it’s pretty expensive for the largest size, so this dupe is really a comparable option.
