the walls will move back a few feet, the light is maximized without high-wattage bulbs, and the perceived space will look more attractive.\u00a0 Check what the mirror reflects; avoid creating a view straight into a bathroom or bedroom.\u00a0 Tilt mirror slightly up or down to change its perspective and to prevent startling people as they walk by the mirror.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Consider bringing in the exterior views when decorating a small house.\u00a0 If you have a pleasant scenery, install a bay window to capture your views;
