Homeowners looking to create an illusion of ample space in the kitchen and elsewhere in the home should look no further than mirrors, experts have claimed.Interior design consultancy At Home asserted that mirrors were a timeless answer to space concerns, offering powerfully expansive effects when positioned most skilfully. Light is another factor often identified as the key to giving a sense of space, with some design experts recommending the placement of the kitchen sink directly underneath the window, creating pleasant reflections and providing the necessary light levels for rigorous washing up.Claiming that the larger the better is the key to the mirror approach, At Home senior designer Hugh Jamieson explained If you can put mirrors at right angles to windows, right by the window, then you are going to get a lot more extra light into a room.Looking elsewhere in the home, the group added You can either use mirrors in the conventional way which is on a chimney breast or to the side of it. If you are able to put mirrors at each end of a hallway so they are opposite each other, you are going to get reflection that repeats the process on and on and on.Stainless steel sinks, such as the Carron Phoenix single bowl Carisma 400 model, are often considered the best alternative for reflecting light and keeping the kitchen bright and cheery.
