Desk and Mirror Arrangement
Desks: Generally desks are over-cluttered. They should have
not more than 3 to 4 accessories. Wastebaskets should accompany the desk.

These may be made interesting by covering with wallpaper, old maps or prints, chintz greeting cards, etc. Or bound in leather to resemble a book set.
Mirrors: Mirrors may be used effectively in any room. Frames should harmonize with decor in style. Frames may be metal or imitation of metal (as federal), carved, plain molded or painted wood (as Pennsylvania Dutch), painted glass mirror, mirror baguettes (either flat, shadowbox style or beveled out). The frame may be in period style.
They may be oval shaped rectangular, or shaped to fit a particular area.Mirrors set into a wall are effective in adding light and size to the room.
Mirror should not be hung where the sun shines on them all day. This tends to create a haze in the mirror. An inexpensive way to create a mirrored wall is to mount many small “dime store” mirrors on a board. (Large mirrors cost proportionately more as they must be made of plate glass).
