How can you add glam to your home with glass and mirrors? Whether your interior has a contemporary, traditional, or eclectic style, take a look at the ways custom-cut glass and mirror accents can create a sense of glamour in your home décor.
Frameless Shower Enclosure
Is your bathroom less than glamorous? Up the glam factor and install a frameless glass shower enclosure. The stylish look of a custom glass enclosure creates a contemporary, Hollywood-like feel in almost any bathroom.
If you're not sure how a new shower enclosure can add glamour to your bathroom, consider how it can change the space. Whether you have an older door or use bulky plastic curtains to keep the water in the tub, a frameless option brightens the bathroom and creates the illusion of extra space. This option transforms a dark, dull, or cramped bathroom into a glamour-filled, tranquil area to relax and recharge.
Gilded Gold Mirror Frames
Custom mirrors on their own won't necessarily add glamour to your home. But if you select the right cut and frame, you can infuse a bland bedroom, living room, or any other space with high drama.
To up the glam ante in your home, start with the ideal custom cut. Skip the same square or rectangle shapes you always choose. These options can look dated or may seem overly simple in a glitz-filled space. A circle, oval, triangle, diamond, or other multi-sided shape creates visual interest and drama. If you absolutely have to (or want to) select a standard rectangle or square mirror, opt for an over-sized cut.
After you select the shape and size, take the next step and choose a frame. While the mirror itself won't have a gilded feel, you can add a sense of glamour with a gold frame. Thick, ornate, or artistic metallic gold frames provide high shine and high style.
When a new coat of paint won't add enough glamour, consider a mirrored wall. This option will work in almost any room of the home - from the bathroom to the living room. Like a glass shower enclosure, a mirrored wall adds light and space to the room. Along with these benefits, the wall can also reflect a few key glamorous décor accents.
To use the surface as a reflective aesthetic element, position
your
most glamorous furniture in front of the wall. This strategy doubles the high-drama pieces (such as artwork or furniture) in the room.
If a full mirrored wall isn't an option or you prefer something you can easily change in the future, a full-length or oversized mirror is an alternative to explore. Again, set a tall, wide, or larger mirror off with a glamorous gilded frame.
Create golden era Hollywood glam with mirror-topped tables or dressers. Glass-topped furniture has a one
-
of-a-kind look that will stand out in almost every home space. Not only will these glass options add a sense of light to space, but they also bring a special type of sparkle to your glamorous interior.
Avoid pre-made, cookie-cutter glass tables and other similar furniture. Like standard rectangle and square mirrors, these pieces can look dated. A custom glass top with a circular or organic shape can add the visual interest to your new glamor-filled décor needs.
To find the right piece of glass, talk to a glass or mirror professional. The glass or mirror contractor can assess your home décor needs and help you to create an ideal one-of-a-kind showpiece.
