DESIGN TIP
for Your Home and Heart

Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. (Eph. 4:25)

Wish you had a bigger home, but your season of life or budget will not allow it? Try this trick. Larger mirrors create an illusion that makes an interior space feel bigger than it is. Most of my clients wanted bigger spaces to move around in, but since they didn’t have the budget to knock down walls or install more windows, I suggested hanging mirrors to create the illusion that the space was bigger than it was.

However, while you may want to hang some mirrors on your walls, there’s no room for illusion within your relationships. God wants us to be honest with one another. Fight the temptation to hide behind a mirror that distorts who you are in order to be accepted or validated. Choose integrity over illusion. Rest in how God has designed you to be—one of a kind.
