Using mirrors for your home decoration is a brilliant idea. It is a simple yet very effective technique. A mirror makes your home interior appear brighter by reflecting light. Even if sufficient natural light does not enter your home, you can make it brighter by strategically positioning your mirror.

The lighting of your home sets the mood and tone of the interiors. Therefore, you should focus on lighting. Installing only one task light is not sufficient to make your interiors appealing. You should opt for layered lighting so that the room has a beautiful ambience and you can perform all the tasks. Consider investing in a statement piece like a beautiful chandelier. It will give your interior an elegant feel. However, they might not be the best option if you have a small home. In such cases, you can consider installing a pendant light instead of a chandelier. Pendant lights are available in many attractive designs as well and will give your home interiors a dramatic effect.
