Style & Staging Tip #7

Mirror Mirror On The Wall
I know placing artwork on walls can be a tricky thing to figure out for many people. One thing I always suggest to clients is to minimalize clusters of pictures in favour of a few bigger canvas's, and to use mirrors. Mirrors are a fantastic way to bounce light around a room (especially if they are positioned close to windows and doors) and to visually enlarge your space. Whether you go round, square or double up on a few of each, mirrors create a visual focal point that every single room should strive for. And the great thing as they are so inexpensive -- especially if you pick them up at yard sales in the spring and summertime. One tip -- don't hang them too high. Hanging a eye level, in most cases, is the best way to go.
