As the economy continues to putter along, city dwellers are finding cheaper ways to live. While some have decided to move out of the city, others have decided to move below it. Once considered dark and undesirable, English basement apartments are now appealing to those who want to stay conveniently located in the city with a smaller budget. English basements may now be attracting thrifty professionals, but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re still dark.

Unless you have a floor-to-ceiling mirror that takes up an entire wall, you probably overlook all the mirrors in your home. Sure, you peer into ’em to evaluate your outfit, check your makeup, and remove the remnants of this morning’s breakfast from your teeth, but rarely take the time to ogle at all their intricate details. In most spaces, mirrors are more of a practical accessory and less of a design moment. Until now, that is.

According to LiveScience, in 1835 German chemist Justus von Liebig coated a pane of glass with a thin layer of metallic silver and successfully coaxed out mankind’s inner Narcissus for decades to come. Since then, mirrors have come to be a solid fixture in interior design and, more recently, round mirrors seem to be challenging the rectangular norm (and for good reason).
