Too many of us take home décor too seriously.  Sure, we need to be careful about how we spend out money so that we will not be repeating the same purchases over and over.  Of course, we need to treat furniture as an investment.  Still, if you do not have a bit of fun with furniture and décor purchases, your home will cease to have personality.   

Every home needs a bit of whimsy, something unexpected, or something absolutely unique.  This is easily accomplished with abstract art pieces, chairs that are also sculptural, and items with no purpose other than beauty.   

Don’t get too carried away however when adding fun pieces to your home décor.  You actually can have one too many toilet paper waiters.  More than one sculptural chair can frighten away houseguests.  One too may naked stone cherubs may even put you on the tacky list.  So when you do purchase fun home décor, try to keep the number and kind of these decorative art pieces to a minimum.  

The Elbe Loop de Loop Contemporary wall mirror is an excellent way to add fun to your home décor.  It is made of hand brushed aluminum and is a beautiful as it is functional, from the working mirror to the glass shelf that will hold a slim vase, or perhaps your makeup brush.   

This decorative wall art mirror is 58" long x  42" wide x  and approximately 1.5” in depth.  It weights 65 pounds and comes with hanging hardware.
