Are you looking for an easy way to add space and life to your home without compromising your aesthetic design? Or are you looking for a stunning focal point that portrays your unique style and taste? Either way, custom mirrors are an excellent choice for their ability to transform your home in a variety of ways. Keep reading to learn more about custom mirrors and how they are used in homes across the Durham region.

 

What Are Custom Mirrors?

Custom mirrors are reflective glass that is cut and hung to meet specific requirements and preferences. Customization begins with choosing the size and shape and then the type of glass. The most common type for mirrors is clear glass, but other types of glass may be chosen to reduce glare, increase safety in case of shattering, or achieve a certain aesthetic or function. Mirror glasses include:

·       tinted 

·       tempered

·       one-way

After choosing the type of mirror you want, you will need to make decisions about its edge treatment, such as bevelling, polishing, or something else. Deciding on the way to install the mirror is a final consideration for your custom mirror.  

  

Why Custom Mirrors?

Beyond the reflective function of a mirror, there are three basic reasons people choose to include custom mirrors in their homes.

1.     Enhance the aesthetic of a room by complementing the design through the mirror’s glass, frame, shape, and placement. A mirror can also reflect the ambiance of a room and create a focal point that ties all the architectural and decorative elements together. Custom mirrors are also an excellent way to showcase your unique tastes, style, and creativity.

 

2.     Create the illusion of space by incorporating reflection to visually expand a room by making it appear more open and spacious.

 

3.     Maximize natural light (see below).

 

Where to Put Custom Mirrors:

The placement of your custom mirror depends on many things including:

·       The size and layout of your home

o   Placing a mirror on the short wall of a long room can make the room seem wider.

·       The mirror’s purpose

o   Placing a mirror across from a window or light source reflects and distributes light, which improves a room’s brightness and maximizes natural light and limits the need to turn on the light.
