We often associate mirrors with bathrooms and bedrooms, but truth is, mirrors can be used in any room of the house!  Adding mirrors to a living room area can help make the space appear larger and its ability to reflect light can make a room brighter!

Have you ever thought about adding a mirror to you kitchen?  Using mirrored tiles as a backsplash is a popular growing trend!  These special treatments are so varied that it's easy to find a style to fit any home!  Check out some of your options:
  • A traditional style is simple, straight-forward, and stylish.  Apply a standard mirror along a countertop and beneath cabinets for a remarkable finish!
  • Antique mirrors can be aged to look antique and add an accent to your kitchen. 
  • Subway tile is a look that is becoming widely popular!  Replacing the standard solid white tiles with mirrors creates a textured focal point and increases the kitchens visual space.
  • If you have a more traditional kitchen, framing mirrors can lessen the contemporary look and compliment your overall theme.
  • Diagonal mirrors make for a unique backsplash.  Including finials at intersecting corners is the perfect touch to give the mirror more character.
  • Mirrored mosaic tiles double as a backsplash and statement piece.  These tiny 1 inch square tiles come on mesh backing, making installation a piece of cake!
  • Smoked glass mirrors have a dark bronze or black cast to it and provides a dramatic look.
  • If you're feeling apprehensive about adding a mirrored backsplash to your kitchen, start off small!  Try adding a mirror just behind your stove for starters.  Mirrored surfaces are easy to clean after preparing a meal.
