Hang a Mirror Over a Dining Room Table
Many designers use mirrors to bring style and elegance into their design themes. But you don't have to be a designer to use a mirror as a decorative accent. Adding a mirror to your dining room is an excellent way to create a new look for your space. Mirrors are a great way to open an enclosed space simply by positioning it adjacent to a window or light source. You can add even more drama to your dining room by placing the mirror a little lower on the wall and placing a tall centerpiece on your dining room table. There are many possibilities to what you can achieve. Use your imagination to develop your own style.
