Custom Mirror Ideas Throughout Your Home

Written by Central Glass Company on May 23, 2019. Posted in Uncategorized

When you walk into any room in your house, the focal point is most likely the mirrors hanging on the wall. Mirrors work double-duty in that not only do they provide reflections, but they also help beautify homes. One way to give a personalized stamp to any space is with a custom mirror.

Although you can go into any home decor retailer and buy a mirror off the shelves, you may need a more customized fit for a particular room. Even if you don’t, you may just want a unique-looking mirror design that you can’t find in big box stores. Custom glass companies have the ability to cut a mirror to any shape or thickness that you desire.

From a single large mirror to a grouping of smaller, different-shaped ones, custom mirrors will add interest to any wall. Another benefit of hanging mirrors is that they can also create the illusion of more space in a small room. For rooms with low ceilings, a tall mirror may add visual height.

When searching for the perfect customized mirrors for your home, consider not just the shapes but the frames as well. You’ll have many options from which to choose, from rustic-looking wooden frames to modern-inspired metal ones. You can also mix and match the frames for an eclectic appearance.

Whether you are building a new home or remodeling your current one, here are some creative custom mirror ideas to get you started.

Welcome guests into your home with an eye-catching mirror in your foyer. Hang the mirror above a table that you use to hold keys, handbags, and other important items, and use it to take a last-minute glance as you head out the door.

For the greatest visual impact, choose a large, rectangular-shaped-mirror with a frame that reflects your home’s decor style. For instance, if you prefer a vintage look, pick a wood frame with elegantly carved details. To lighten up the space, you can paint the frame white or a shiny gold color.

Bathroom mirrors typically get the most use in a home, so go with ones that not only get the job done but also look good while doing it. The most common place to hang a bathroom mirror is over a sink or vanity, but you may require one in a customized shape or size.

As an example, if you have his-and-hers side-by-side sinks, you’ll likely require an expansive mirror that extends over both of them. For a dramatic look, go for a mirror featuring thick-cut glass and beveled edges. These types of edges are cut at an angle and then polished smooth and have widths of anywhere from 1/4 to 2 inches.

If you want to give your bathroom a modern touch, go with a frameless mirror. For a vintage-inspired look, a mirrored mirror frame may be the way to go. As another glamorous-looking option, buy a thick-cut glass mirror featuring a gold mirror, and install Hollywood-style track lighting above it.

With customized bedroom and living room mirrors, look for a design that coordinates with the overall décor style. In an artsy space, hang a collage of mirrors above a couch or bed as a centerpiece. Pick one element that ties the look together, such as all circular-shaped mirrors or silver frames, and then have fun mixing and matching them.

Another idea is a layered mirror look. For instance, you can start by placing a large mirror on a fireplace mantel and then stacking a few smaller mirrors featuring different shapes or frames in front of it. A custom glass company can help you pick just the right shapes and frames to give the space a unique look.
