Some say that if you have a lot of mirrors in your house, you are vain or very concerned with your appearance.  But the truth is mirrors can  have many useful benefits other than showing us our own reflection. 

Mirrors can be used to create light in a room or even use reflection to create the illusion of more space.  By using the correct mirrors and framing one can add atmosphere and style to any room big or small.  Like furniture mirrors come in all shapes and sizes and can draw someone's eye and create interest.  Mirrors can use their reflection to draw attention to something pleasing in the room, like a view from a window.  Grouping frameless mirrors can create a lighter feel to a room especially when positioned across from a window that lets in light itself.  This method can also be used on the wall of a stair case as an alternative to family photos or portraits.  Aligning them with the handrail will not only enhance the view of the staircase but will also bring light from the room below, to an otherwise narrow and dark staircase.

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.

According to Freshome, there are many ways that one can use mirrors to decorate their home. They are a decorative item that can instantly transform a room from small to roomy and they can represent any décor style. Here are some simple uses of mirrors:

Make a room feel larger: Mirrors offer an inexpensive way to give the illusion of space. You can place mirrors on a wall opposite of a window or in a small kitchen as a backsplash.

Place a mirror over the fireplace: You can add more emphasis to a fireplace by placing a beautifully framed mirror above the mantel. This will enlarge the room as well as add a reflective surface to the décor you place on the mantle.

Add interest to a long hallway: If your home has a long hallway, you can place mirror vignettes, ‘puzzle’ piece mirrors, or groups of hanging mirrors on the side walls. This will help distract the eye when walking down the hallway.

Brighten up your entry: Mirrors placed in an entryway are a welcomed sight for guests. They reflect light and open up a dark entry and give a place for guests to ‘check’ themselves while entering your home.

At Bell Mirror & Glass we can create a specialty mirror design to fit any project in your home or business, whether you are planning a custom bathroom vanity or a mirrored backsplash for that remodeled kitchen.
