The mirror on the site can be installed on a special free-standing structure, on a fence, on the wall of a house or an outbuilding. The main thing is to choose the place well!
A very successful landscape design move is to install a mirror at a dead end, where the garden path ends. In this case, it will seem that the path has not ended at all, continues, leads to some mysterious, unknown place.
Another good option for the location of the mirror is on a blank fence. In this case, even a generally unsightly fence will become an attractive detail of the site. The mirrors on the fence will look like windows reflecting the surrounding greenery and flower beds. Especially if you add beautiful wood frames and traditional window binding.

The landscape designers call the site with mirrors the “garden of illusions” for a reason. Reflections really transform the site into something different, add sunlight to shaded corners, extra space to cramped courtyards.
Of course, turning the entire garden into the Looking Glass is not worth it. This is a point detail, the mirror should find its place and become an important part of the decor, surprising the guests of the house..
