When you decorate your home you have a lot of different options to choose from, and many people feel a bit overwhelmed by the number of options available to them. Some read the latest magazines to get ideas on various motifs that might be good options for their homes.

When you pore over magazines, if nothing else, you can eliminate the choices that just aren’t right for your home, and that will bring you closer to finding the right look for you. You may see rooms pictured in Architectural Digest, say, and feel that they are the right kind of look for your home. You may like the colors and the furnishing styles, but the cost of duplicating the exact look you’re seeing in the magazine might be over your budget.

Sometimes you can economize and find similar furnishings that cost less than the higher-priced ones in the magazines, and that can allow you to have a similar look at a fraction of the cost. Oftentimes, you can find lots of ways to maximize the effect of every dollar that you spend. Some ornamentation can go a long way toward transforming the character of a room and making brighter and more pleasant to ...
... inhabit.

You might want to invest in round shaped mirrors for walls, because they can be quite reasonably priced and easily installed, and they are a welcome change from all of the squared-off right angles that occupy most rooms. Not only that, they can magnify whatever ambient light happens to filter into your interior spaces, which will make them more cheerful and fun to be in.

And continuing on the theme of non-traditionally shaped ornamentation, you might also look at oval shaped wall mirrors, which add an elegant touch to any room in the house and make a dark, dreary area suddenly come alive with dazzling light.

Choose the kinds of frames for your mirrors that will enhance the color scheme you’ve chosen and will be appealing to the eye. The frame draws the eye toward the mirror, and can make a room feel more elegant and nicely decorated, as well.

You might want to consider hanging rows of round or oval mirrors to create a theme that will resonate throughout the room. Or you could hang a combination of round and rectangular mirrors on the same way, to create interesting visual contrast between the two shapes.

Mirrors are generally easy to install, and produce a large change in a room’s appearance for a rather small investment. In general, mirrors can open up a room and make it appear much larger than it would if the room just had plain walls.

Experiment with mirrors in any space that you want to transform, and you’ll be amazed at the changes that will come about right away.
