Mirrors have many uses beyond the obvious. In interior design, they reflect light, make rooms appear larger than they are, and even act as decorative accents on walls. If you're looking to upgrade your home office, bedroom, or living room, a wall or freestanding mirror can easily transform the space. Combining both function and style, your new home decor item will also make for some double-tap-worthy mirror selfies.
