Place them in a small space and they immediately open it up doubling the feeling of the space. They work even better when reflecting something fabulous back so say a beautiful bunch of flowers or a family portrait. Also consider lining walls with bevelled mirror tiles – super cool in an interior room or rooms with no windows or poor light.

Don’t forget to consider the frame so think sustainably harvested cherry wood, a vintage ornate frame that can then be sprayed a funky colour, or a super sized frame for an instant style statement. All choices will enliven the simplest of walls.
