5. Layered. If you want to make a big statement, mount a mirror on top of a mirrored surface. It’s a very classy and creative way to dress up a wall. While it may be more expensive than other wallcoverings — such as drywall, wallpaper, or ceramic or porcelain tile — it can be less expensive or on par with the cost of natural stone or glass tile. By using a reflective surface instead of an absorbent surface (drywall, wallpaper, and the like), you allow for more light to be reflected, giving the illusion of more light overall. Works best with: Traditional and eclectic styles. Pros: Layering makes a decorative statement, and the added reflected light makes the room feel bigger and brighter. Cons: This arrangement is sometimes hard to clean. Plus, installation can be tricky and costly.
