Customer Mirror Enhancement Opportunities
Reflect Light in the Room
Light is attracted to glass surfaces and bounces off it, allowing an entire room to be basked in a soft glow. Make use of this attractive quality by:
- Strategically placing a mirror directly across from a source of natural light.
- Placing mirrors across from each other so that light bounces off of them in continuous rays.
- Adding mirrors to dark areas, such as entryways and hallways, coupled with task lighting, artificial lighting and candles.
- Placing a mirror on the wall above your dining table so that it picks up the light from your chandelier.
- Add a custom mirror on top of a dining room table, coupled with candles to wash the table with light.
Add Cohesion
Custom mirrors can echo the existing style in the home. While adding an additional decorative touch, they are also able to serve as an extension of the pieces you have already selected. Custom mirrors are made to your specifications regarding size, frame choice and edge detail.
Emphasize a Piece
Custom mirrors that are placed by fantastic art emphasize texture and colours found in the piece. Carefully select the location where you want a custom mirror installed, so you can reflect its beauty. Hang a mirror to direct natural light by one of your favorite art pieces. Consider adding mirrored shelves to further emphasize sculptures and collectibles.
Make a Statement
Custom mirrors are meant to stand out. A beautiful mirror can serve as the focal point in your room. Some suggestions to accomplish this look include:
- Place a large mirror in a prominent location in your home while keeping other decor to a minimum.
- Place a mirror over a natural focal point to further emphasize it, such as a fireplace or focal wall.
- Add a cluster of mirrors together to create your own piece of art.
- Place a framed, full-size mirror on the floor and rest it on the wall to create a beautiful focal point.
Add the Illusion of Space
Custom mirrors help create optical illusions, such as making a space seem larger, less occupied with furniture and more open. Some tricks of the trade include:
- Use a large mirror that is three-fourths of the height of the wall to create visual square footage.
- Hang a mirror across from a window to give the illusion of another window in the space to make it feel bigger and possibly brighter.
- Install oversized mirrors in dark spaces to add more visual dimension.
- Add dimension to the space and visually expand it with strategic positioning.
- Hang mirrors across from see-through doors and windows to reflect the outside in the inside.
- Add a floor-to-ceiling mirror to make a small room appear to double in space.
