Sunburst wall mirror from Target
Although most of us New Yorkers wish our apartments could literally grow in size, we'll have to settle for the alternative: the mirror illusion.
Mirrors, which obviously reflect images and light, can brighten up the dullest room. Place the mirror opposite a window (if you can find one in your apartment), and you can reflect natural light into your gloomy apartment ... and maybe even reflect some beautiful outdoor scenery like a tree or historic building.
Place lots of tiny mirrors strategically in a spot on your wall to "enlarge" your living space and add a touch of classy home decor. Mix round mirrors, ovals, diamonds, squares, and more for an interesting pattern. Mix black-and-white photos into the mirror pattern for an extra vintage feel. As with any design, just don't go overboard or it will look tacky.
