Money Saving Tips from Interior Design Pros: Mirrors for Small Rooms

July 27, 2023 by collegetown

You might have a taste for high end interior design, but a real world budget. Here are some tips interior designers use all of the time to create impressive effects without spending a ton of money.

Tip #1: Position Mirrors to Control the Light

When you’re in a situation where a room does not have as much natural light as you’d like, strategically position mirrors to maximize the light that does come in through the windows. These reflections are an indirect way to brighten a space without increasing energy costs. These mirrors do not have to be very large – in fact, designers often have a glass and mirror cutting service create custom sized pieces to take advantage of small odd corners and narrow placements.

Tip #2: Interior Windows to Open Up Space

Introducing openings into walls dividing rooms can create a feeling of openness and connection. Leaving the openings open can make it difficult to achieve desired levels of privacy and sound control. A happy compromise is the use of interior windows. These can be clear or frosted decorative glass. Interior windows can also help with airflow in the house, and make it easier to heat and cool the interior.

Tip #3: Use Mirrors to Make Spaces Appear Larger

Mirrors can be used to increase the amount of light in a room, but they can also be used to make a room appear larger. This is the role given to larger ornamental mirrors, such as are often seen in small rooms like foyers, parlors, stairwells, and more.

Large ornamental mirrors are not cheap. Interior design experts control costs by having their favorite mirror cutting shop provide them with custom cut mirrors to fit frames the design experts find separately. The best mirror cutting shops can provide high end features such as bevel cuts and etched mirrors.
