Mirrors are a great addition to any space.  They have the ability to create illusions, and not just in a carnival fun house.  When light hits and reflects off of a mirror it creates an illusion that the space is larger than it actually is.  It also leaves the room feeling brighter.  This quality makes mirrors the perfect addition to dark rooms with limited light sources.  Combine this with soft, muted tones in your furniture and rugs and you've got a tranquil, relaxing atmosphere.

Mirrors can be incorporated in a room in various ways.  Mirror walls are a great way to enhance the appearance of a room and provide an artistic quality to a space.  Small mirrors are great for decoration, especially when they are in a vintage or unique frame.  Full length mirrors and statement pieces are great substitutions for art. 

Bell Mirror & Glass offers custom mirror services for your home or business.  Contact us to find out how you can enhance the appearance of your room.  Visit our showroom for a variety of ideas and samples!

Do you have a small bathroom off a hallway or even tucked under the stairs?  It may sometimes seem impossible to make it cozy and inviting.  Rest assured, there are many different ways to transform that small clustered bathroom into a thing of beauty.  A houzz decorating article details a few creative ways to optimize the space in a small bathroom. 

1. Invite the eye with creative paint treatments.  Bold colors are great to change the look of your bathroom, with horizontal stripes or a painted ceiling to draw the eye off the size of the room.  Paint is also a cheap and easy update to make in any room.
2. An open shower is an idea that has been utilized by Europeans for a very long time.  With some extra waterproofing measures you can eliminate the shower door and fit a shower into the smallest of bathrooms.  It will also give you a different unique look.
3. Installing great floor tile can shift the rooms focal pint onto the ground.  Drawing the eye to the floor takes away from the cramped space and changes the focus.
4. Unused wall space can be taken up with built in cabinets or shelves.  This allows you to store toiletries, reading materials or anything else without taking up any floor space.
5. Mirrors!  Adding a mirror to a small space is the oldest trick in the book, because it works!  This creates an illusion of doubling the space.  When combined with good lighting mirrors can really make a small cramped room feel much larger. 

Bell Mirror & Glass can help create and install any type of mirror or custom glass for your bathroom, or any other room in your house.  Like us on Facebook for plenty of great ideas and tips for your home.

When it comes to decorating a small space, one of the most important features to focus on is the walls. When it comes to wall decor, there are endless possibilities in terms of design and decoration. Your walls are your own personal canvases just waiting to be filled up, so be sure to take full advantage of this!

Here are a few simple tips and rules for covering your walls in a small space:

Wall Decals: Removable wall decals are always a great choice for anyone looking to decorate. Wall decals come in all different shapes and sizes. Moreover, they can easily be removed, saved, and reapplied wherever you go.

Color Scheme: Choose art that encompasses and strengthens the color plan in your house or apartment. There are limitless ways decor could do this.

Budget Watch: Decorating can get pricey, especially when it comes to wall decor, but it does not have to cost a fortune to cover empty walls. Buying from thrift stores or consignment shops will make your wallet happy and you truly never know what you may end up finding.

Functioning Decor: Dual-purpose items are the friends of small spaces. This type of wall decor mixes style and functionality, making them win-win purchases.

Embrace Personal Tastes: Stay true to your style and your preferences to have a more personalized touch. Putting up photo collages of friends and family or hanging inspirational posters and wall decals can brighten your corner and turn your house into a home.

And Most Importantly - Mirror Tricks: Mirrors and other reflective items, when used correctly, can give the illusion of a larger space. Mirrors increase the visual space of a room and often tie the whole room together.

The placement of a mirror in a selected space can depict how the room looks for better or worse. Mirrors are way more versatile then we actually think they are, they can act as one of the best tools for an owner with a small space.

There are numerous ways to place and adjust mirrors to make your space look nicer, here are some ways you can do that:

1) Group them together: Smaller mirrors are a lot cheaper then large mirrors, so buy a few small ones and group them on the wall in the same place.
2) Turn them on their side: This trick works best with long skinny mirrors, it makes any wall look longer instantly.
3) Floor length: Floor length mirrors are great ways to make any space feel taller. Their long shape draws the eye up and carrying it around the room, making any space feel lighter and brighter.
4) Layer them up: By making an entire wall mirrored and then adding smaller, defined mirrors on top, not only are you creating a larger more open-feeling space, but you'll also be giving depth to the space without weighing things down.
5) Fake-mirrored furniture: You can fake expensive designer prices and simply use a glasscutter and mirrored tile found at a hardware store. It’s a lot cheaper with results that can be quite amazing.
