If you're lacking in space, mirrors are the perfect addition to any room. Not only can they be placed on the wall, meaning you avoid taking up precious floor space, they also reflect light to make a space appear bigger. The best place to position a mirror is opposite a window to reflect the most light possible. Photo: TOPOLOGY LONDON
