I have a painting from an artist in Canada who used a mirror set in to plaster and he removed part of the reflective backing to allow partial visbility through the glass. He then placed an image behind. Very effective.

Just had to comment about the various comments about mirrors in the garden, there is a movement away from putting mirrors outside because it confuses birds.

W estuck a slightly shabby mirror in the garden on the shed wall. It’s behind a water feature and looks more like a window

You can glue each tile at the bottom of every step in the staircase, and then – if you put some portable lights on the steps, or candles – they will reflect them, and give you more light.
Or you can put them under a slight angle on the top of the shelf or other place with difficult acess – then you will see what is there, without need to strecth your hand to check out supplies.

You could use two of them and a bit of tube or long box to make a really enormous periscope! A periscope brings light down inside it, so if you had a dark corner you can use it as a solar torch to redirect light – cheaper than installing a light tube! You know, this is one of those solutions that would take a long time and a lot of ingenuity, and might not be worth it in the end. But quite funky, no?

Found it. Finger nail polish remover works to remove the old double stick tape. Acetate.

I purchased some mirror tiles to use in a plant room to reflect the sun. They still have the double stick tape on them. Any suggestions how to get the double stick tape off without destroying the black surface that the mirror is on?

You could develop a coke habit.

And if you’ve got a wall near your plots, it would reflect sunlight back at the veggies too.

Another garden suggestion – you could use the near any veggies you are growing to scare away the birds.

Could you use them behind a planter or two in the garden to give the illusion of depth? The slightly shabby nature of the tiles would actually be an advantage as things wouldnt be quite so glaring. The other place they might be handy is at the back of a shelf in the pantry or airing cupboard, to reflect light around when you are rummaging around.
