The [People's Architecture Office](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curly-cube) has taken what would be a [boring, boxed showroom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-design-co) and expanded the space through the clever placing of [reflective mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical) and bright accents.

The interior has smooth, reflective surfaces, with the ceiling being made out of mirrored material. This mirrored roof creates the illusion of depth, making the space look taller than it actually is. Considering spaciousness carries with it an air of luxury, adding in this detail increases the credibility of the space, and encourages more upscale exhibitions within the area. For coloring, yellow accents were used on the shading sections of the lights, helping to avoid a washed-out look for the interior, and incorporating a few fun elements into the mix.
