Joanna Gaines Posts Revealing BTS Video—and I'm Absolutely Stealing This 12-Second Trick

Joanna Gaines's social media is a treasure trove of brilliant home hacks and decor tips, so you can understand why I've opted to check out her Instagram page when I need some inspiration. So far, I've learned that hanging shelves are a smart way to save space, and that accent wallpapers can totally transform any room. But now, I'm intrigued by a new, super-easy, free and quick decor trick she recently shared on Instagram.

This weekend, the interior designer and TV personality shared new footage to promote her new fall collection and wrote, "I got to dress up a favorite Fixer Upper of mine with our #HearthandHandwithMagnolia fall collection—and it all looks so cozy!"

In the video, Gaines decorates the home with a few of her pieces, from artificial flowers to throw pillows. But the part that caught my eye? When she stacked a framed painting in front of a larger mirror.

In the clip, Gaines carefully positions the painting in the left bottom corner of the mirror, which adds a bit more color and dimension, making the mirror look more decorative and the space more surprising and nuanced. But I'm not the only one who took notice of this smart trick. Take it from PureWow Editor-in-Chief Jillian Quint, who actually tried this hack in her home.
