Hi Na'kiyah,
Depending on the size, shape, placement and ornamentation of a mirror, it can serve a variety of different aesthetic and functional purposes in a room.
One of the most common uses is to enlarge space, using a large mirror can make a small room appear much larger than it is, particularly if the mirror encompasses an entire wall, is placed in a central location, or even shaped like a table. window to create the illusion of openness.
Mirrors can also be used in areas where they can better reflect the natural light coming from the windows, making the space more open and bright.

Wow good question you are problem solving already a primary requirement for a good interior designer and yes mirrors are challenging and I rarely use large mirrors that dominate a design. Whatever the mirrors reflects you must make sure it fits with the design for that space and the reflection doesn't introduce other design elements competing with the original concept. Then there is the movement introduced and captured by the reflection ether wanted or unwanted. So yes you must consider these things when using even a small mirror. Good job keep thinking this way in all things design and you won't miss the fine detail that insure a successful design.
