All About Mirrors

Infinity beckons

A poet once called mirrors "our windows into infinity."  Whether you're poetic or not, you know the power a properly placed mirror has to alter the feel and the sense of space in any room.  Mirrors are among the most beautiful and timeless hues on your decorating palate.

Location… location… location…

When you pick a mirror, logic and art come into play.  Certainly the mirror must fit the room and the wall space available.  When you place a mirror you consider where the light sources are located.  A mirror across from a window can magnify and enhance the play of light in a room.  Mirrors can make rooms more inviting.  Whether for a practical application - checking out your latest fashionable outfit - or underlining a design element - love that Rococo feel? - the mirror you choose can do so many things.  So many mirrors - so many choices.

Your reflection

Mirrors reflect more than just a lovely face.  Mirrors magnify every mood and decorative style. Some mirrors use large, ornate frames to stand alone as works of art. Other mirrors skip the frame and emphasize a minimalist look. There are rustic mirrors with that natural aura, while a contemporary mirror can be unique and unexpected. Mirrors are available in all the shapes and sizes you're looking for.

Don't take them for granted

It's easy to overlook the possibilities a mirror brings to a room.  Mirrors are such a part of your day-to-day life, that you might just not think much about them. But remember, every room can be beautifully enhanced by a well-placed mirror. And a bathroom without a mirror?  Unthinkable. But don't settle for just any mirror, make a statement. Mirrors look stunning over a fireplace mantle -  mirrors at the end of hallways -  formal dining areas can use a mirror to give that expansive feel to the room - mirrors at a child's eye level in the kid's rooms.  Make a thoughtful mirror choice.

Play favorites

Mirrors are great focal points even when you use them for a mundane purpose.  Find your favorite mirror and put it in your favorite room.
