Welcome to my window blog. My name is Christy, and this is one of a series of blogs I am making about homes and home repairs. I was inspired to write about these topics after remodelling our home and replacing a lot of elements like the windows. I am going to write about everything from choosing the right windows for your climate to keeping your glass squeaky clean. I hope that you like reading these blogs -- if they inspire or help you, share them with your friends on Facebook, Twitter or whatever social media you like! Thanks again for reading and enjoy!
Mirrors have traditionally just served a utility function in the home. But, do you know they can be a part of your interior décor plan? When used the right way, mirrors can help you achieve unique decoration effects that will set your space apart. Here are a few ideas on how you can spruce up your home using mirrors.

Once you find a good floor space for it, you are set. Since it is meant to be a large item, ease of installation is essential.

Use Its Location to Your Advantage
Where you place a mirror in the home has a lot to do with how it adds value to your interior design. Look for out-of-the-box locations for best results. One idea is to place it across a piece of art that you love so that it reflects its beauty to the rest of the room. You can choose to use a tabletop mirror to reflect an ornate chandelier for dramatic visual effect.
Use One or More Mirrors in the Hallway
A Mirror work very well in small spaces to make them feel larger. Use several of them n your hallway to achieve this effect. Hang different mirror sizes and shapes on one entryway to create a design focal point. The same idea applies to a staircase too.

A creatively colored mirror will not only bring out the tones in your home, but it will be a regular conversation starter as well.
