Your home’s decor reflects your personality,
and there’s no better way to show it off than
by adding a few personalized touches.
Our technicians can use special edging
techniques to create custom mirrors that
highlight your attention to detail.
You can also get the glass cut to the exact size
you need to put a reflective surface on a piece
of furniture or a shelf.
While mirrors have long been used
in homes as wall art, it’s good to know these
other useful ways to use them to add interest
to any room.
Create the Illusion
of More Space
Small, cramped rooms are one
of the biggest decorating challenges.
Mirrors add a sense of depth,
which can make the room look bigger.
Adding a mirror to a room that lacks a good
window mimics the effect of an opening
in the wall.
Larger mirrors tend to work best for this
purpose, and you can put floor-to-ceiling
panels in rooms that need a lot of opening
up, such as a home gym or office.
Illuminate
Dark Spaces
Many parts of your home may lack
natural sunlight.
Hallways are a common area where
you might struggle with lighting.
Consider hanging several small mirrors
in a pattern along a dark interior hallway.
Putting a statement piece in the entryway
will provide a warm welcome to everyone
who visits your home.
Adding mirrors to these spaces can
help make the best use of the light fixtures
that are already installed.
Show Off
Collectibles From
Multiple Angles
Sculptures and other types
of three-dimensional art often
deserve to be seen from every angle.
Placing a mirror behind a showpiece
brings all of its beauty into full view.
Custom-cut reflective panes can be placed
in hutches and display cases so that your
favorite collectibles take center stage
in a room.
Give a Modern
Look to Your
Kitchen
Mirrors serve far more purposes than just
dressing up the fireplace mantel.
One of the hottest trends right now in home
decorating is using them throughout the
kitchen to add an element of intrigue.
Small mirrored tiles are great for creating
a mosaic design for a backsplash.
Or, you could have larger pieces cut to add
a twist to traditional subway tile.
If you’re worried about the traditional silver hue
looking too out of place in your kitchen design,
consider using a colored tint.
The panels or tiles can be tinted to give
them an antique look, or you could go
with a blue or bronze tint to match other
elements of the decor.
This option works great when you want
to swap out clear panels in cabinet doors
so that you can hide what’s inside.
Dress Up Your
Closet or Bathroom
You’ll typically find a mirror located
in bathrooms and near closets to help
people get ready for their day.
Yet, you may wonder what the builder
or previous owner was thinking when
they installed the current one.
Changing out the mirror can transform
the space to fit your style or to accommodate
a recent remodel.
For instance, hanging a smaller oval mirror
over a pedestal sink can give the bathroom
a whole new look.
Or, you might prefer a bigger panel over
a wall-to-wall countertop.
Installing a mirror in your closet can also
make the area feel more like a luxurious
dressing room rather than a storage space.
Mirrors are often used in magic shows to
trick the eye, and you can use these same
effects throughout your house.
From making a room look bigger to directing
attention to your favorite work of art, take
a look around your home to see where you
can use reflective panels to highlight your
sense of style.
