Reflections in a New Year | Mirrors, Glass Replace

Mirrors brighten up your home and office decor in many ways.

This is the time of year when many of us, still reeling from the abundance of holiday goodies, don't want to leave the house to go to Trivia Tuesday, much less look in a mirror. But take heart, soon things will be back to normal and you'll be thinking of ways to make your home, office, or business sparkle.

One way to do that is with mirrors. As thegreatframeup.com says, "Custom framed mirrors are a timeless and elegant way to add style, light and sophistication to any space. They can serve to reflect light and brighten dark rooms, reflect and multiply a beautiful view, or visually expand a room to add depth and a sense of space."

The greatframeup has five tips for selecting, framing and placing mirrors:

"Because the frame is the only decorative element on a mirror, make a bold choice. Feel free to use frames with exotic, bold or unusual finishes or designs."
"Use a larger frame that will be able to hold the weight well. A larger frame will also keep the mirror in balance and proportion."
"When choosing a location to hang a mirror, carefully consider what it will reflect. A mirror can reflect a window’s abundant light or a favorite piece of artwork, but it can also reflect a cluttered storage area."
"Use mirrors to brighten and visually open up a small space. They can reflect the light of a chandelier in a dining room or create the illusion of more space in a small area."
"Don’t feel obligated to hang a mirror on a wall. One large mirror on the floor and leaned against the wall can set a modern, elegant tone. A mirror can also be leaned on a shelf or mantel to serve as a backdrop for smaller framed artwork or decorative items."
