15. Hang Large Mirrors on the Wall
Nearly everyone has experienced going into a restaurant with mirrors on the back wall. It’s a common tactic for business owners, because it reflects the seating and gives us the illusion of being a much larger venue. When people see that a restaurant is large or crowded, they are more likely to show up, because they don’t want to be the first, or only customer. Obviously, the same mirror trick will work in your apartment, so that it feels twice the size when you walk in. If you hang a large mirror on the wall, it will reflect the rest of the room and give you a sense of space. Mirror doors on the closet are also a great way to accomplish this in the bedroom. (Even if it’s bad Feng Shui.)

Obviously, large mirrors hung on your wall aren’t always practical. Some of them hang over the couch or another area where you’ll rarely see your own reflection. That’s why it’s a good idea to find a full body mirror to sit on the floor, leaning against the wall. This can give the illusion of having a larger space, but it also serves the practical purpose of checking out your outfit in the morning before you leave the house. The only downside to this is that large mirrors tend to be expensive and heavy. Do your best within your budget, and also keep in mind how difficult it may be to move into your next apartment.
