Have you ever wondered why there is a mirror in every entryway?
Besides its original function to show our reflections, the mirror is very important for creating a visual illusion for a wider space. Mirrors make even the tinies and narrowest spaces bigger than they are.
In addition to their functionality, mirrors also create an amazing effect on the entryway interior.
The entryway atmosphere can be changed from neutral to homely by choosing the best mirror in size, shape, ornaments, material and also the best position in the entryway.
