Add Mirrors

 
Mirrors go a long way when it comes to making a space look larger and more refined. To give your bathroom a budget makeover, add a large mirror to the biggest wall in the space. Or, add a series of small mirrors to the accent wall. Over-sized mirrors also work well in the hallway or foyer, especially when you position the mirror directly above a decorative table or large flower arrangement.

Faux Ceiling Beams
