Is your home in need of some freshening up? New furniture, paint, and flooring may be the most common answers to restoring stuffy rooms, but they aren’t the only options. At AMG, we believe mirrors can bring out the true potential of your home.
The creative placement of a reflective surface can be a conversation piece for dinner parties. And in many cases, adding a mirror instantly makes a dull room seem inviting. Mirrors can make your room feel larger, and they can reflect light sources to make dark corners brighter. Even better, mirrors are cheaper than redecorating your furniture, easier than painting, and unlike flooring, they won’t break your back.
Today, we’re going to look at the best ways to use mirrors in your home. Our experts at AMG Mirror & Glass have chosen seven of their favorite placements. Hopefully, the following tips can spark your creativity and get you thinking about the money you’ll save and the compliments your home will get.
Beveled mirrors make what could be a simple flat surface impressive and more interesting. In the past, buying mirrors with bevels cost two or three times as much as straight-edged mirrors, but modern machinery has made them a lot more affordable.
Placing a beveled mirror in a breakfast nook or bachelor apartment can make that little space feel twice as large. That’s because the reflection tricks your eyes into thinking there’s more dimension. You can also place this type of mirror near a window to create the feel like you have twice as much natural sunlight.
Placing an oversized round mirror on a main wall or entryway lets everyone know you aren’t afraid of showing off your style. These pieces can be especially helpful for square rooms or hard-to-fill walls. If you have a room that needs some fixing up, a round mirror can also take the attention off the flaws. Round mirrors can be hard to properly size and fit, however, so it’s best to order them from a company that offers installation.
Blending the newest in technology with the advantages of reflective materials, smart mirrors can make bathrooms and entertainment rooms come alive. When you aren’t watching Netflix or the news, you get all the advantages of having a mirror, such as extra light and more space. Then at night, press a button and watch as the mirror vanishes to reveal a full-sized or half-sized HD screen.
Sometimes even a room with plenty of windows and natural light can be freshened up with a tabletop mirror. AMG can cut glass to fit any sized coffee or dining table. Usually, we can install the surface in a single afternoon. Sunlight from all directions reflects off the tabletop and keeps the room extra bright.
In lofts, one of the biggest issues we hear from our customers is that their space feels too similar. When your kitchen, bedroom, and living space don’t have walls to separate them, mirrors can do the trick. A mirror divider reflects where you are and helps you forget the other spaces surrounding you.
Nothing helps create interest on extra-long walls like a clear mirror.
AMG can install mirrors that run flush with your hallways, almost as if they were there from the start. Clear mirrors make the long journey from one end of the hall to the other more inviting. When you have no windows in a hallway, they also reflect the home’s natural light and save you from having to keep LED lights on during the day.
No matter which type of mirror you choose for the spaces in your home, it’s important to know when to call in the experts. You could try buying and installing them yourself, but no mirror fits as perfectly as the one that’s been designed specifically for your room.
At AMG Mirror and Glass, our professional services go well beyond the installation. We help you choose the perfect location, and with many of our products, you also get servicing and ongoing support.
