Mirrored Walls

You're all familiar with the transformative powers of a good mirror. Their reflective surface makes rooms look bigger (see this post), adding effortless glamour to any space. So if one mirror is good, surely more is even better? 

Antiqued mirror tiles provide an enchanting backdrop for this quirky vignette. The splash of red against the worn finish of the mirrors and table is delightful, isn't it? I love that the designer hung paintings right over the mirrored wall. Brilliant!

Plain mirror tiles completely transform this more modern space, creating the illusion of another room behind the console table. Even if you're not strapped for space, a mirrored wall is a great way to carve out a little nook and define it as separate from the rest of your space. Think how many architectural eyesores could be given new life with this easy trick!

The best part about this idea is how inexpensively it can be worked into your home. These Ikea mirrors are just $6 for a set of four — and you could antique them yourself using this genius tutorial!

This project is definitely going on my must-try DIY list! What do you think?

Not Your Average Gallery Wall

While I object to anyone calling gallery walls "overdone," "passé," or "trendy," I do find myself drawn to these unconventional displays...

{Frame dozens of family photos in matching frames of different sizes and line them on shelves at eye level. The display is a unique alternative to hanging each frame individually and a delightfully modern complement to more ornate details like the chandelier, doors, and moulding.}

{Transform a plain jane hallway with framed portraits at every height. This option is for the collector who doesn't find a layered look too busy — and who has a few favorites that will get most of the attention!}

My Interior Life

I love sharing pretty outfits and inspiring interiors here on Design Darling but it's always nice to dig a little deeper and get personal. That's why I was so excited when the adorable Keely of Luxe + Lillies asked me to kick off her new series, My Interior Life. I'm sharing design inspirations, gift-giving guidance, and a lousy iPhone photo of my bedside table. Check out my interview here and stay tuned for more in the series — Keely's planned quite the line-up!

P.S. Do enter the Joss & Main $100 giveaway if you haven't already! I'll be randomly selecting the winner on Wednesday.
