5 Things to Mount That Instantly Upgrade Any Room

Mounting isn’t just about saving floor space – it’s about creating a clean, organized, and intentional look that transforms how your room feels. Whether you’re working with a cozy apartment, a family home, or an office space, here are five things you can mount today to make any room look and feel instantly upgraded.

1. Floating Shelves

Floating shelves are one of the easiest and most versatile upgrades you can make. They add storage and display space without cluttering the floor or making a room feel crowded. Use them in:

• Living rooms to display books, plants, or decor.

• Bathrooms for towels, candles, or small storage baskets.

• Kitchens for spices, mugs, or decorative jars.

Lovely Tip:

Mount floating shelves in sets of two or three to create a balanced, layered look. Always install them at eye level or slightly above for optimal visual impact.

2. Mirrors

Mirrors do more than reflect your outfit. When mounted strategically, they make rooms appear larger and brighter by bouncing light around. Consider:

• A large round mirror above a console table in your entryway.

• Vertical mirrors in hallways to create the illusion of more space.

• Decorative mirrors in living rooms or bedrooms as statement pieces.

Lovely Tip:

Place mirrors opposite windows to maximize natural light. Avoid placing them directly across from cluttered areas to maintain a clean, intentional aesthetic.

3. Curtain Rods and Blinds

Mounting curtain rods higher and wider than your window frames creates the illusion of taller ceilings and larger windows. Likewise, installing blinds neatly within or just outside the window frame adds a sleek, finished look to any room.

Lovely Tip:

For maximum height effect, mount curtain rods at least 4-6 inches above the window frame. Choose rods and blinds that complement your room’s hardware finishes for a cohesive design.

4. TVs and Media Components

Mounting your TV on the wall not only frees up space but also creates a modern, minimalist entertainment area. No more bulky TV stands taking up floor space. Pair it with a mounted soundbar or floating media console for a truly elevated look.

Lovely Tip:

Always mount TVs at eye level when seated for comfortable viewing. Consider cable management solutions for a clean, professional finish – hiding cables instantly makes the room feel tidier and more polished.

5. Artwork and Picture Frames

Gallery walls or standalone art pieces add personality and warmth to any room. Mounted artwork brings focus and dimension, making a space feel thoughtfully designed.

• In living rooms, create a gallery wall behind the sofa.

• In bedrooms, mount art above the bed for a curated look.

• In offices, choose motivational prints or calming landscapes to enhance your work environment.

Lovely Tip:

When creating a gallery wall, lay out your frames on the floor first to find the perfect arrangement before drilling into your walls. Keep spacing consistent, and center art at eye level (about 57-60 inches from the floor to the center of the piece).
