19. Glamorous Mirrored Risers
If you have a dark or narrow hallway, installing mirrored panels on your stair risers is a brilliant design trick to instantly double the light and space. The mirrors reflect the flooring of the hallway and the light from nearby windows or light fixtures, creating a dazzling, ethereal illusion of floating steps. To keep this look elegant rather than gaudy, use antique or slightly distressed mirror glass, which offers a softer, warmer reflection. Pair the mirrored risers with clean white treads and a simple, elegant handrail for a bright, glamorous, and sophisticated entrance.
