Mirror, Mirror On My Wall, Are You The Fairest Of Them All?

Homeowners are constantly looking for new ways to improve the rooms of their homes. There’s often a great need to maximize the space that you have. That is true in all kinds of rooms, not just the ones with cramped, tight space. Certain techniques can help you overcome the crowded look a room can take on when too much furniture seems to be situated on too little floor space.

Crowded rooms are also notoriously dark and can sometimes feel gloomy. One way to improve rooms with space limitations is to knock out walls and redesign the floor plan of your house. That’s a big job that involves architects, builders, lots of lumber, plaster and hardware, and of course, a good deal of money.

Rearranging the floor plan and removing a wall that blocks incoming natural light from a window or skylight is effective, but fortunately it isn’t the only way to make positive adjustments to your living space. Another way to visually open up your rooms and distribute natural light sources more evenly throughout your rooms is to install wall mirrors.

Mirrors add new dimensions to rooms. They can transform a dark, gloomy space into one that’s bright and cheerful. They create and optical illusion of greater depth of space, and generally tend to make you feel more comfortable even when you’re in a confined space. Just look around and notice the restaurants, stores and other businesses that employ mirrored walls to open up the space and make it more attractive to customers.

Aside from their capacity to turn a small space into a larger-seeming, airy and comfortable room, mirrors themselves can add to the décor wherever they are installed. You don’t have to stick with simple, conventional flat panes of mirrored glass that are used in commercial spaces. Instead, why not get creative and discover the endless variety of frames that you can order. Frames add a finished quality to mirrors, and can be made from attractive varieties of wood with many different possible finishes.

For a more modern look you can choose chrome-plated or brushed steel frames, which will enhance the mirror’s reflective quality. If the modern look doesn’t fit in with the room you’re seeking to transform, perhaps a more traditional look will give it the well-put-together look you seek. You might also consider antique mirrors, to give your space some old-world charm.

Older mirrors can also come with a wide variety of framing styles, and you might also choose from varying kinds of glass. Some mirrors may feature decorative etching, while other may use convex mirrored glass.

The possible solutions are endless, and just about all of them will cost a lot less than rebuilding your house.
