When putting our Rockland County NY home on the market for sale it is important to get rid of anything that is going to date the home, even though these design choices were all the rage at one time. Sometimes the things that were so expensive to install at the time are the exact things that date a home and mirrored walls are definitely out, especially smoked mirror.
It was once thought that mirrors on a wall made the room look larger. After having spent the last few years removing mirrors from homes it seems to me that the rooms actually look larger once the mirrors are gone. Wall to ceiling mirrors in a room reflect everything, the clutter, excess furniture, dated light fixtures, the hallways and adjoining rooms. This wall to ceiling visual clutter overwhelms most rooms.
Consider these examples:
These transformations were further enhanced with accessories, paint and lighting changes. Each was done on a tight budget and homeowners own furnishings were used whenever possible.

I don't know if the rooms necessarily look bigger or smaller, but they do look a lot more peaceful with them off!
Did you add a fireplace to the 2nd to last? It looks like the same angle, but in the before I don't see a fireplace (unless it's reflecting one on the other side of the room and the angles are switched for the after). Either way the room is soooo much better!
