You can make your home appear larger by methodically and strategically placing glass and mirrors throughout your space.
Now more than ever, people are spending countless hours at home. Your house should feel as comfortable and as light and bright as possible.

There are many cost-effective ways to achieve a space that looks and feels much bigger than it actually is.

How to Make Your Home Appear Larger By Incorporating Glass and Mirrors
Give your home the illusion of added space and light with mirrors and glass. Here’s what to do:
- Use Glass Cabinet Doors in Your Kitchen — Add a sense of more space and brightness by replacing your standard upper cupboard doors with glass ones. Leaving lower cabinets as-is and replacing your uppers with glass will bring the eye up, making your kitchen feel taller. If you don’t want to show off what is kept in your cabinets with translucent glass, other options are frosted, etched, textured, and more.
- Opt for Glass Furniture— There is no doubt that the dining, coffee, and side tables in your house are bulky and possibly even oversized. Instead of a wooden, metal, or other type of opaque material, opt for a glass table. The space will immediately feel bigger and lighter when you make the swap.
- Create a Window with a Mirror — If you have a small room that does not feature windows, invest in a mirror that mimics a window with its cut and frame. This helps open up the space and prevents any unpleasant senses of claustrophobia. Your mirror window can also serve as the focal point in the room.
- Swap Out Standard Railings for Glass — Your railings could be a contributing factor to your home feeling small and tight on space. Open up sightlines and allow more light to flow by getting rid of your stand stair railings and installing glass ones.
- Go European — Do any of the bathrooms in your house feel small and a bit cavelike? By getting rid of your dingy shower curtain, you can give the illusion of extra space and open up sightlines with a European shower or tub surround. You spend a lot of time in the bathroom, so make it a spa-like retreat where you can relax and feel refreshed.
