Mirror Mirror On The Wall: Adding a mirror can instantly help in transforming the look of the space and will also help in adding glamour to the space. The mirror reflects light, giving an illusion of a much larger space. Choose walls with maximum natural or artificial light falling onto them. It will help in maximizing the sense of the space.
