Hanging a mirror above a mantle

The trick is to have someone hold the mirror in the exact spot where you want to hang it, making sure it’s flush against the wall, then stand back to assess the reflection from different viewpoints in the living room. Too often the reflection is of an ugly ceiling, an outdated light fixture, a doorway, or a blank wall, none of which you want to emphasize too much. If you do end up seeing an unattractive reflection, at least you’ll be doing it by choice, not by accident. Big difference!

Feedback and/or questions are always welcome, so if you have any tips or stories about picture hanging you’d like to share, I’d love to hear them.
