also install mirrors to cover wall blemishes. This would also save
you refinishing costs. Instead of spending fortunes on repainting and
refurnishing that part of the wall that got burned by candle or have
dirt that cannot be removed, why not put a nice mirror there to hide
the wall's scar?
7. There are
also movable mirrors that you could use. You could move the mirrors
from time to time to have a different view of the house. In that way,
you could have a new look in your house from time to time, depending
on what location and items the mirrors are reflecting on.
