Even smaller gardens can benefit from the installation of an outdoor mirror. This will make these spaces brighter by reflecting the rays of the sun during the beautiful days of spring and summer. This may seem surprising to you but, according to the landscaping specialists, owners of small gardens should opt for a large mirror. For the successful deco of such a space, try painting the mirror frame in a color similar to that of the surface behind it. Before you buy, be sure to measure the support on which you intend to put your mirror.

It can also be placed on a wall at the end of an alley. Thanks to these tips, you will get an interesting optical effect: the reflected landscape will appear to be part of a larger garden and the person opposite will be visible only when it is right in front of the frame.
