The Advantages Of Bespoke Mirrors For Your Home Or Office

Custom mirrors can transform the look and feel of your home or office, making it a more enjoyable place to be and also adding value to the property should you wish to sell in the future. They are often a faster and more cost effective way of modernising and upgrading an interior than a full redecoration or refurbishment programme. 

However, it’s important to think carefully about the location of your mirrors and to choose the right size, shape, and framing. Here are some of the most important factors to consider.

Use mirrors to increase the natural light

One of the most valued assets in a building where we live or work is natural light. In an office, good natural light can improve mood, boost productivity, reduce eye strain, and lead to overall better mental and physical health in the workforce. 

These benefits also apply to domestic spaces too of course. Most of us spend the vast majority of our time indoors, which can lead to all kinds of issues such as poor quality sleep, depleted energy and vitamin D deficiencies, and increased risk of stress and anxiety. 

While installing mirrors won’t solve all of these problems, large mirrors placed opposite windows can increase the amount of natural light by reflecting sunlight around the room. 

Mirrors can also boost energy efficiency and save on fuel bills in both the home and offices, because there is less need to use artificial lighting during the day time when the natural lighting is optimised. 

Use mirrors to the increase the feeling of space 

Small rooms can feel cramped and dingy, especially offices where we have to spend the majority of our day. Installing made-to-measure mirrors can help to create the illusion of more space, reducing the feeling of claustrophobia. 

In a home, custom mirrors can also be used to good effect, especially in smaller rooms such as hallways, cloakrooms and bathrooms. This can make your home feel more welcoming and pleasant to live in. 

Use mirrors in exercise rooms and dressing rooms

Sometimes, we simply need a mirror to see our reflection. This could be to check our outfit looks as it should before we leave the house, or to apply makeup in good lighting. Mirrors are also useful in home gyms and exercise rooms, to help us check if we are performing a move correctly or using equipment in the right way. 

A custom mirror that is especially designed for the available space will add character and value to a home, as well as increasing your convenience. 

Add a frame for a unique touch

Mirrors not only serve practical purposes, but they also add to the style and interior decor of your home. The advantage of ordering or customising your own mirror is that you can choose any style of frame to complement the existing decor, or go for a contemporary frameless finish.
