Mirrors can brighten up and accessorize your space.  Knowing how to incorporate them into your home can make all the difference.  Here are a few tips on how to use your mirrors and where to put them. 

1. Adding Light and Depth - Mirrors come in all shapes and sizes.  Mirrors can create the illusion of more space while reflecting light around the entire room.
2. Focal Point - Mirrors can be a great focal point for a room.  Placing a mirror above a couch or bed immediately draws the eye and makes it the main focus in the room.
3. Full Size Mirror In Small Space - Your rarely see a large mirror in a small room, but decorating with a full size mirror can make a grand statement.
4. Modernize - Choosing mirrors with black, sleek frames can often create a very modern look to any room. 
5. Entry Way -  The entry way of you house should be accented by a beautiful mirror to make your guests feel at home.

There are many different ways to decorate your home using glass, and fortunately for you, you can call Bell Mirror & Glass for all of your needs.  You can really transform your house into a home using windows, glass art and mirrors.  There are a few things to remember while decorating with glass:

1. Colors are a very important part to start with.  When decorating with glass you want to first look at what you see out your window, the light that streams in and the curtains or drapes you have around them.  Think of all of these as an extension of the colors you will be decorating with.
2. Layering adds warmth to a room.  A layer of cloth, will not only add warmth to the material, but will also offer extra layers of images as it reflects off the glass tops.
3. Never forget that light is color.  Adding lights can bring out color highlights of artwork and other decorations and can also divide a room, creating the illusion of more space. 
4. Encasing important items in glass draws a lot of attention to them.  Display awards or personal achievements that you are proud of in glass enclosures.

Custom stained glass is becoming more and more popular in home decoration.  Homeowners are looking for inexpensive ways to add personality and contrast into their homes.  Stained glass can be used in countless ways in almost any room of your home.  While the possibilities are really endless, here are some ideas you can easily incorporate into your home.  

1. Kitchen Backsplash- A backsplash is essential to protect the wall behind your stove from hot grease spatters, food and smoke damage.  While the popular choice seems to be granite, it can be very expensive.  Custom glass can be an inexpensive substitution without loosing any of its appeal or functionality. 
2. Shower Doors-  Accenting your shower doors with stained glass can be very cheap and easy to do.  Adding the stained glass can really bring together the whole bathroom and make it beautiful.  It provides privacy along with beauty.
3. Basement Windows-  Basement windows can sometimes look ugly and dreary being so close to the ground.  Use them as your own canvas and spice them up with stained glass.
4. Decorative Purposes-  Stained glass can really be used to decorate and add personal touches to many different home products including mirrors, cabinets, bathroom fixtures and much more.

Are you planning on staying put for a few years?  Forget for a moment everything you have heard about buying, remodeling and decorating, with resale in mind.  For a while the real estate market was looking pretty grim, and the ability to sell homes became extremely hard.  Today it seems that things are returning to normal and people seem to be making long-term commitments to homes once again. Once you begin to view your home in this way the possibilities for personal expression and customization can be endless.  Here are a few tips to completely personalize your home:

1.  Remove a bedroom:  Many people have an extra bedroom that they simply do not use.  It looks good on paper and can add value to your house, but if you plan on staying you are wasting useful space.
2. Indulge yourself with something wild:  If there is something you have always wanted even as a child, indulge yourself.  For example give yourself an indoor slide or fire pole.
3. Accommodate your pets:  Pets can be your best friends, if they live with you, they are in your home more than you are.  Cater to them, add pet doors, cat ramps etc. to entertain your furry friend.
4. Make bold decorating decisions:  Don't limit yourself in your decorating decisions.  If you love vibrant colors, apply them to your walls and furniture. 
5. Rethink your spaces:  If you never use a formal dining room, take it over and put in something you will get more use out of, like an art studio, library or office.
