Create space, or at least the illusion of it, with a floor length mirror. With the ability to add depth to any wall and transform even the most titchy of rooms into something palatial, it's high time you considered adopting this interiors essential. The good news is there are very few rules to contemplate if you want to pull off floor mirrors.
