Mirror mirror on the wall...

Mirrors, are frequently used in interior decoration to create an illusion of space and amplify the apparent size of a room. They come also framed in a variety of forms. Round, Rectangular, Curved. The Frame used around a mirror can dictate where it is used and with what style of decor, being modern or traditional or beachy.

Mirrors are a great way to give a room a lift by providing light and reflection and making a room feel bigger and more spacious than it actually is. They can also be used to reflect certain views or areas such as courtyards or gardens to ‘bring the outside in’.

They can be hung in groups for dramatic effect as seen below;

 

 Here are some examples of where mirrors have been used in properties styled by Advantage Property Styling Sydney

FENG SHUI – Relationships and House Sales

by Anna McCarthy

Advantage Property Styling Sydney

Red roses and pink love hearts are synonymous with expressions of love and romance. Interestingly in the world of feng shui red and pink are also associated with relationships. These colours are considered auspicious in the portion of the home dedicated to harmonious relationships.

Perhaps these colours the world over hold an energy that we react to without really thinking why.

I would like to relate a story to you regarding the colours associated with feng shui and the relationship point of a home and the influence this had over a house sale.

Working as an interior designer and feng shui consultant in my home city of Perth some years ago, I was approached by a client to see “why my house didn’t sell”. My client was a very stylish woman with a beautiful period home in the settled and elegant suburb of Subiaco. As I drove up and regarded the front of the property it was hard to understand why it hadn’t sold. Equally, when I went inside I noted that it was beautifully decorated and the six months of no sale on the market was hard to digest.

I then, however looked at the main bathroom which just happened to be located in the relationship point of the house. It was painted a citrus yellow which wasn’t the pink/red dedicated to this sector in feng shui terms. I mentioned to my client that it would be better to paint the bathroom pink as it was energetically out of balance. She was horrified as she disliked the colour pink and said she would think about. Of course she did nothing and life went on as before, until the day her brother came to stay and she told him the story about my visit and the pink bathroom idea.

What have you got to lose, he said, it’s just a tin of paint; and so she did.

Subsequently the agent who had had the listing all those months ago rang her out of the blue and mentioned he might have a buyer for the property. The house was back on the market and at the first open several groups of people went through and the house was sold for way more than the asking price.

Coincidence you might say, or was it the shift in energy from the colour change that pulled the house into alignment and thus sent out an energetic wave of attraction that prompted the agent to call?

Eames Classic Chairs

Eames Classic Chairs.

Will they ever go out of style? We doubt it. Forged by the mid century gods of furniture design, Ray and Charles Eames, these chairs were the epitome of innovation when they were first conceived and still top the charts today for their timeless design. These classic chairs have a way of transforming an ordinary room into something spectacular.

The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman

 

This was the first chair the Eames’ designed for a high-end market. These chairs are made of moulded plywood with a leather cushion seat. The Eames Lounge Chair appeals to us for several reasons. It is a classic design that has been in production continuously since its creation. In addition to the style, it is also very comfortable, a combination not always found in high end design.

 

The Eames Low Timber Chair

This chair was designed using technology for moulding plywood that the Eames developed before and during The Second World War. This chair was designed for the "Organic Furniture Competition" in 1940, exploring the natural evolution of furniture in response to the rapidly changing world. This chair won the competition. 

 

Eiffel Base Shell Chair

The Eames Eiffel Chair is a quality chair that is light, comfortable and strong. A turning point in design, these were the first industrially manufactured plastic chairs. the current models look exactly the same as the originals. They remain unupholstered, in keeping with the Eames condition that materials be used honestly and unselfconsciously. This chair has only become more popular since its inception and is the perfect addition to any modern home.
