East Bay Home Staging ~ How to Use Mirrors to Showcase a Home

Mirror ~ Mirror

Using Mirrors in home staging & design can accent any room....

Living Room...

Dining Room...

Bedroom...

& More!

Mirrors provide that extra "accessory" that will give a room sparkle and razzle dazzle!

Look for mirrors that make a statement....more of a decorative element vs functional .....something FUN!

Hi Kathy ~ Your mirror examples are inspirational and add so much to the rooms they're in ... I'm going to look around my house and see where I can add some pizzazz!

I do like mirrors, especially when they're framed in unusual styles. They take on the look of a piece of art instead of a "mere" mirror. The examples you show are striking, indeed.

Kathy, I love mirrors for their design and the fact that they reflect and increase light in a room.

Your pictures say it all! My own mirrors are so boring compared to these examples. I'm going to have to do something about that!
