While mirrors are often added to a home to help residents see their reflections, the advantages far outweigh this initial use. When you choose a custom mirror, you’ll add a gorgeous piece to your home that will also help improve the space around it. Here’s a guide to the pros of installing more mirrors in your house.

Why You Should Add Mirrors in Your Home

1. Increase Natural Light

Few people enjoy spending time in a darkened interior. One of the best perks of having a mirror is that it can brighten a room by reflecting natural light around the space. Choose a position that will catch incoming sunlight and cast it throughout the living room or dining area. If small windows or limited access to direct sunlight force you to turn on lamps during the day, a custom mirror will decrease the number of lights you need and can help lower your electric bill.

2. Amplify the Sense of Space

A mirror makes the room feel bigger. You won’t be going through the looking glass, but it might feel like you could. The change is only one of perception, and it can help a small area feel more spacious via reflection. With a few strategically placed custom mirrors, you can open up a cramped room.

3. Hide Unsightly Spots

Beyond being attractive items in their own right, mirrors can do double duty by hiding unappealing parts of the wall. Whether paint has chipped away, a crack formed, or there are holes from old nails, no one will notice them if you place a mirror over the blemishes. With limitless sizing options available for custom mirrors, you can choose the right shape to cover multiple problem areas.
