Mirrors are not only for the bathroom. Mirrors also have decorative uses. They can create a dramatic focal point, add light, and make a room seem larger. Mirrors come in a variety of styles and are either framed or frameless. A mirror can also be made into basically any shape. A round or curved mirror can add a unique element to a room.
Framed. With framed mirrors, design options are limited only by the homeowner's imagination. Frames can be made of virtually any material from natural wood to plastic or metal. These frames can be beveled or inlaid with intricate designs. Frame choice will most likely depend on the mirror's surroundings and the amount of money to be spent.
Frameless. Frameless mirrors can often simply be attached to clips that are screwed into the wall. These mirrors can be as simple or as detailed as needed. Frameless mirrors are also available with beveled edges. Consider adding a decorative bottom piece for extra support.
Other considerations. In the bathroom, mounting a sconce through the mirror will increase the amount of light in the room due to the reflection of the mirror. Adding globe lights to a vanity mirror may be a perfect touch if the homeowner is searching for a retro feel. Always make sure vanities are properly attached. A simple test to make sure the mirror is secure is to push against the glass surface. If the mirror gives, call a contractor immediately, because the mirror was most likely not installed correctly. Using a mirror, in any room, to reflect an object of interest will increase the mirror's presence. Place mirrors in a location that allows them to reflect light. If the mirror is framed, matching the frame to the vanity will provide a more uniform look to the bathroom.
