'I live in a tiny house. Here's how I use mirrors to expand space'

'Most of us think about mirrors in a basic way — a bathroom mirror here, maybe a hallway mirror there. We're missing a trick'

If I had to pick one answer to the most frequent questions I receive, it would be mirrors. How do I brighten up my dark room? Mirrors. How do I make my small space feel bigger? Mirrors. How do I add depth and interest to my interior design without breaking the bank? Win the lotto (just kidding — it’s mirrors). 

When it comes to mirrors, more is more. Yet most of us are still thinking about mirrors in the most basic way — a bathroom mirror here, maybe a hallway mirror there. We're missing a trick.
