Bring Drama to your Walls

Art and mirrors are great ways to create a chic and stylish living room.  A large mirror can be a statement piece that creates the illusion of more space.  Mirrors with dramatic frames or in unusual shapes are easily available, a great way draw the eye, and create excitement.  Art, while not giving the same the illusion of space, brings a personal expression of your taste to the room.  Photo walls and art collections help bring a room together and create cohesiveness.   Look for pieces that elicit fond memories or bring positive emotion to your living room.   One tip for using art is to keep it minimal and let the walls show your art.  Don’t overcrowd your walls and let it upstage the rest of the décor.
