Stagers and Designers use mirrors quite often in their projects. They are used to double a light source and to illuminate dark corners. When they are positioned to reflect back into a room the image offers not only a pleasing view, but it gives intrinsic value.
Our home stage this week provides a little touch of how this can work. Picture a small office (bedroom) with mirrored closet doors. Once we placed our future in you can see a reflection of the bookshelves behind the desk in the mirrored door which makes the room look larger. Two of these images reflect this idea.
Let a mirror do it’s job by reflecting a deeper and more pleasing view!

Get great results with Decorator Tips and Guidelines:
- Choose a paint color last. There are thousands of paint colors with various tints, tones and shades –and each one looks different from home to home, because light sources vary. Select a color that best complements your upholstery, artwork, rug and accessories. Consider monochromatic colors so you stay within the same color scheme.
- Give your furniture some breathing room. Gracious living means space to maneuver with ease. Resist overcrowding a room. Augment existing furniture pieces with new complimentary furnishings where needed.
- Hang artwork at the right height. Well I’ve seen artwork too high and too low. There is a relationship between furniture pieces that exist in every furniture grouping. Consider hanging artwork 6 to 8” above it’s complimentary furniture piece.
- Anchor your space with a rug. Know how to arrange furniture on the rug. There are basically three ways you can arrange furniture on a rug. All On (All furniture pieces are on the rug. It’s ideal to leave 12 to 18 inches of floor surface on all four sides of the rug’s borders), All Off (If you have a small room, keeping all legs off the rug is a great cost-effective choice) or Front On (Put just the front feet of all your seating pieces on the rug to tie the arrangement together visually and create a well-defined).
- Create a focal point. The object that draws a viewer’s attention to a specific design That could be a built-in object, hanging artwork or another feature in the room. Create a focal point in the design that will be an eye-catching feature that stands out, distinct from the rest of the design elements.
