Why are mirrors important?
Mirrors are important for a few reasons. For one thing, they make it possible for people to see how they look when grooming and dressing, permitting them to make the best possible impression on others. In fitting rooms, mirrors enable users to see how well a particular item fits from different angles. Mirrors can also enhance the appearance of a living space and can even create the illusion that a room is larger than it actually is. Shop a large selection of mirrors on 1stDibs.
