There was a time in our history when furniture and décor were purely for utilitarian or functional purposes, when the aesthetic appeal of a room was not much of a consideration at all to the homeowner. But these days, to combat the stresses of a hectic world, our homes have become our havens. From themed rooms to game rooms, from spa-like bathrooms to luxurious sitting rooms, the way a room is decorated can directly reflect the homeowner's style and immediately put guests at ease. Updating a home with decorative free-standing and wall mirrors can be an excellent, budget-friendly way to boost a home's value by increasing its visual appeal while at the same time creating a comfortable environment.

There are many ways that glass mirrors can improve the overall look and feel of a room and home. Decorative mirrors of any shape and size can be used in place of artwork to add interest to a decorating scheme, while large wall mirrors can visually increase the size of a room. Mirrors also offer the added bonus of light reflection, so a room with very little natural light can be easily brightened up with the addition of mirrors. When remodeling a home, bathroom mirrors should also not be overlooked. Because vanity mirrors are such a focal point in the relatively small space of a bathroom, they can easily be used to guide the style and overall feel of the space. Finally, floor mirrors are very versatile because they can easily be transferred from one room to another, and can be used to visually delineate a section of a room.

Any mirror with an interesting shape, an intricate frame, or a beautiful color can be considered a decorative mirror. Sometimes several small decorative mirrors can be grouped together to create a mirror collage on an accent wall, or used individually in a small space such as an entryway or utility room. Decorative mirrors are available in a wide range of sizes and styles to fit any space and any décor aesthetic. They can also be purchased in an array of shapes, from square to circular and even octagonal. With so many options, the home decorator is sure to find the perfect combination.

Large wall mirrors are another decorating option. Choosing the right large wall mirror has less to do with the shape or the frame as it does with the dimensions. Large wall mirrors intended to visually increase the dimensions of a room should be measured and placed carefully so that they achieve their intended goal while still allowing room for the other items of furniture in the home. They should also be complimentary in shape to the wall on which they are hung. A particularly long wall looks best when augmented by a long, narrow rectangular mirror hung horizontally.

A small, dark room can immediately be brightened with the addition of a mirror. Be sure to take into account the dimensions of the room and the room's purpose before selecting the mirror or mirrors that will be used. A small room, for example, is probably not the best place for a free-standing floor mirror as it will leave little room for walking safely or positioning other furniture. A wall-mounted mirror hung opposite the main light source is generally a better choice in these situations.

If there is no other mirror in a home, one can also find at least one in the bathroom over the vanity. Vanity mirrors are not only functional, but can change the mood and appearance of the entire bathroom. The size and shape are critical in creating an overall design, as are the frame colors and materials. The vanity mirror must be complementary to the other fixtures in the bathroom as well as the lighting elements.

With so many options available in mirrors for the home in terms of size, shape, and style, it can sometimes be difficult or frustrating for the homeowner to find the perfect selection. Most retail mega-stores will have a limited selection and will not allow the option of custom sizes and colors. To get the best value for your dollar, the most convenient, cost- effective choice is to purchase all of your mirrors from a company that specializes solely in quality custom and stock mirrors. American Screen & Glass is capable of providing custom cut mirrors to your exact needs and specifications - call us (see above) for a free custom mirror quote.
