This morning I woke up and when I <\/span>asked<\/span> the mirror the fateful question:
\n<\/span>\u201cMirror, mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all?\u201d<\/em>
\nHe replied:
\n\u201cHem\u2026 I’m sorry, but today definitely not you .\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It always ends up like this with the mirror. There are times you want to take it and send it to another state, planet, galaxy. So you don\u2019t have to see your mirror image that says “I’m tired” or “when this biblical zit came out?”. However, even if the temptation for a <\/span>glance<\/span> is big \u2013 and <\/span>sometimes maybe irresistible<\/span> , mirrors can also be used for something else.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That’s right, the primary purpose of the mirror might not be <\/span>to<\/span> mirror.<\/span><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here, 4 alternative functions of this essential home d\u00e9cor element:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Make <\/span>small spaces<\/span> look wider<\/span>.<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"Non<\/a>Images\u00a0via: 1<\/a>– 2<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

A great classic. A large mirror placed in a small room will give the illusion of depth, making it seem wider. Suitable for the living area \u00a0or the halls.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Light up a room<\/span><\/h5>\n

\"Non<\/a>
\nImages via: 1<\/a> – 2<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Reflecting the sunlight, mirrors are able to brighten up low-light rooms. The trick? Simply place one between the windows or in front of them to immediately capture the sunlight and illuminate the area.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. To serve as headboard<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

If you haven\u2019t found a bed structure <\/span>yet,<\/span> you can use a mirror, perhaps vintage, as a headboard. In one shot you could decorate and make larger and brighter your room.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Decorate walls<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"Non<\/a>Images via: 1<\/a> – 2<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Mirrors like paintings? Why not! They\u2019re nice, unconventional and very impactful. And if they\u2019re all different and vintage, the <\/span>visual impact<\/span> is assured.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you think? <\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n
