The desire to apply antiqued mirror glass to a wall in order to open up a room and give the illusion of more space (as well as light by way of reflection) is not new. It adds a warmth that is almost impossible to achieve with a standard mirror finish which would be too clinical for some spaces. The problem is that once fixed to the wall, it’s not possible to remove and reapply in a different room. 'An alternative approach is to have mirror tiles fixed to backboards,' explains furniture maker and mirror glass specialist Rupert Bevan. 'This not only makes them more transportable but helps eliminate the need for the wall to be completely flat.'
