A skylight window is attached to a window above a door. Mirrors are in light and, in the case of hinged mirror, fresh air. One fake rear can be done with mirrors and can thus not in the light or fresh air, but it reflects light back from the space that it faces. Heck to make more realistic this window, you hang two mirror-on each side of the door.
