Mirror Techniques to Add More Natural Light
If your house is cursed with dark spaces, here
are 5 ways to use mirrors to bring in more natural light without breaking holes
in the walls or roof.
·
Got a dark hallway? Use mirrors
opposite one another to reflect what little light there is back into one
another and increase the sense of brightness in the space.
·
If you have a single window
abutting a corner, add a mirror to the adjacent (windowless) corner, creating
the effect that you have one large corner window.
·
Use a floor-to-ceiling mirror
in an area behind furniture, such as sofa table, or chest. Add a lamp in front
of the mirror to reflect more light at night, too.
·
Use a mirrored backsplash in
the kitchen.
·
Use a strategically placed
mirror outside to reflect sunlight directly into a window at the angle
you want. Alternatively, use a white surface, such as painting a fence white,
to reflect light into the home.
