Turning a negative space into a design feature

April 12, 2012 by Erin Heaton

This was bothering me.

This weird triangle of negative space between the curtains, exposing the wall, the trim and the top of the blinds above our bed. I know this is not the type of thing that normal people worry about, but it was shouting out to me every time I saw it. It’s the same on the other window, but it doesn’t bother me there like it bothered me above the bed. It was like an arrow pointing to nothing.

So what to do about it?

Hello, little bit of drama.

I picked up this scrolly mirror at a thrift store for $2 more than a year ago, but it never had a home before now. I tied a ribbon through the holes of the mirror and onto the curtain rod above. Yeah, I know it’s hardly a tough project, but it makes everything look so much grander!
