Deck the Walls

I found this beautiful photo of a Maitland-Smith wall mirror in Traditional Home's  "Decorating:  Holiday Mantels."   

Photographer: Michael Partenio.Regional editor: Stacy Kunstel.  Architect: Jack Arnold. Interior designer: Cindy Rinfret

The shells in the mirror are beautifully complemented with the houndstooth sisal wallpaper, and the greenery and pinecones add just the right festive touch to set the holiday mood.  Additionally, the mirror reflects the light from the tree as well as light from the chandelier. 

Not just at holiday time, but throughout the year, a mirror is the perfect choice to "deck the walls."  Particularly in dark, overcast winter months, mirrors reflect any bright outdoor sunlight that may peak through the clouds, as well as reflecting interior lamp light, thus creating a sense of warmth as well as the illusion of more space.   

These framed La Barge mirrors add interest to the wall while reflecting the outdoor sunlight, and warm up this minimalist room. 

Here the outdoor light is beautifully reflected in both the mirror and the mirrored console. 

We all use mirrors in practical ways, and mirrors come in all styles and sizes.  Used in every room of the house, a mirror is a great winter-time decorating accessory. 

La Barge...a reflection of all that you are.
