Mirrors for Home Remodeling and Decorating
In The Pacific Northwest

When it comes to adding sparkle by catching and reflecting light and points of interest in your home, nothing does it better than mirrors. Mirrors enhance light and reflection. You can almost double the brightness of your sunlight and electricity with mirrors. Not only do they provide a extra boost of light, but they simulate depth in all rooms . . . no matter what the room size. City Glass is pleased to deliver and install mirrors locally in the Puget Sound area.

Tips for Remodeling and Decorating with Mirrors

Hang a huge framed mirror or mirror from counter to ceiling.

Use large-scale mirrors to make the room seem larger and to reflect objects with texture.

Peer mirrors between windows add depth to a room.

Use mirrors to hide blemishes.

Put a small framed or even unframed mirror where it will reflect a single interesting object.

Mirrored screens bring light a darkened corners.

Use mirrors on a ceiling to create a "skylight" effect.

If you have a big wall mirror that doesn't seem very dramatic, place another mirror directly over it on the ceiling for a spatial and dimentional effect.

Create the illusion of length by adding a wall of mirrors an the end of a small room.

Use mirrors on a kitchen backsplash to add depth, initerest and light.

Put a mirror on the ceiling of kitchen cabinets or the pantry. That way, you can see what's on the top shelf. You do the same thing by adding mirrors at the back of a top shelf.

By adding a mirror or group of mirrors to those windowless walls, you can create the illusion of windows and reflect light into the space.

Mirrors mounted inside old window frames with curtains hung over them give an appearance of windows out rather than reflections in

Placed on a table with a vase of flowers positioned on the mirror, the illusion will give more depth to the vase and more color to the flowers.

Hang a row of long, tall mirrors spaced across the wall to make a room seem larger.

Long, narrow mirrors are perfec under the centerpieces of dining room tables, especially for romantic, candlelit dinners.

A cut-to-fit mirror can serve as the perfect cover for the top of a worn side table. Add twinkle lights or candles and you increase the sparkle in that corner of the room.

Placed in the back of display shelves they help show off your collections and figurines.

Mirrors Reflect Well on Homeowners
And Their Guests

Mirrors add grandeur to a home. From the entrance to closets, mirrors can be used for additional light, simulated depth, and added beauty.

A wall of mirrors should be planned well before construction or remodeling. Finishing details of mop or base board with final coats of paint come after mirror installation. Touch up is much easier that way.

When looking for opportunities to use mirror in your new, home think both vertically and horizontally. Sit down on your furniture and look at the walls and the ceiling. Do the same sitting on the floor.

If you are remodeling your home, talk to your architect and your contractor to see where and how mirrors can be added to your home to give you constant joy.
