Reflective materials, such as glass panels, are one of the best ways to accomplish this. Carefully located glass panels can reflect light effectively and give the room the illusion of being larger. If you prefer a darker room, you can use non-reflective coatings to get rid of reflection and glare. No matter what the design scheme of the room, you can probably find glass panels in a style and color to fit it. If you cannot find exactly what you are looking for, many glass workers are able to create custom designs.
