8 Mirror Types for a Fantastic Kitchen Backsplash

Mirror was used everywhere in the house in the 1980s. Today it's making a strong comeback on kitchen backsplashes. Today's mirror treatments are so varied that it's easy to find a style that can work in your home. From traditional to antiqued, mirror can add light, space and bling. Take a look at some of these fantastic mirrored backsplashes to see if one will fit into your kitchen's design.


Smoked. If you want your kitchen to make a stronger statement, use smoked-glass mirror instead of traditional silver mirror. Smoked glass has more of a dark bronze or black cast to it. It's usually the same price but has a very different, dramatic look.







Traditional.
 The mirrored backsplash in this kitchen is simple, straightforward and stylish. A standard mirror has been applied along the countertop all the way to the bottom of the upper cabinets. Mirrored electrical outlet covers add a final touch for a cohesive look.




Antique. Mirror can be treated and aged to look antique, for a unique kitchen accent. Here the aged mirror backsplash has a darker hue and a worn finish.




Subway tile. Subway tile has a classic look that's become hugely popular. But if you'd like to go beyond basic white, mirrored tile could be the style you're looking for. In this photo the mirror is secondary, since the tile lines create a textured focal point. This homeowner also took the mirror all the way to the ceiling, doubling the kitchen's visual space.

Framed.
If you have a more traditional kitchen (or butler's pantry, like in this photo), you can take the contemporary spin off a mirror by putting a frame around it. Have your contractor space the framing symmetrically, then paint or stain it in your cabinet color and simply apply the mirror inside the frame.









Mosaic tile. Ramp up any kitchen design with mirrored mosaic tiles (tiles that are 1 inch by 1 inch) to create texture and pizzazz. Don't worry, you won't have to place each and every tile onto your backsplash. These tiny tiles come on mesh backing for easy installation.






Partial. If you would like to try a mirrored backsplash but are a wary of going overboard, start out small. This designer added a mirror just behind the range. While it's sure to show some stains, a standard mirrored surface is easy to wipe clean after meal prep.

Outdoor mirrors. Why not?


If you think that mirrors can be used only in the apartment, cafe, gym, so to say indoors, it is not like this at all. We, at Custom mirrors, can assure you that you can use mirrors outdoors as well.
Outdoor mirrors are a great addition to any garden but they’re especially useful in small courtyard gardens on roof terraces and balconies. Increasing a sense of space and reflecting light in more shady corners, a well placed mirror can add a new dimension to a garden.

Here are some pieces of advice of how to use and how to choose the mirrors:
  • use small round mirrors to achieve a window-like effect into another world
  • get your mirror to blend in surrounded by foliage
  • consider what you will be reflecting – don’t place your mirror opposite a wall with drain pipes or air ducts, but try to reflect the leafy interest in your garden
  • use full length mirrors to create the illusion of a garden beyond
  • don’t place mirrors too high up or anywhere they are likely to impact bird flight
  • don’t use mirrors in hot countries where they are likely to become a fire hazard

Just follow these easy rules and contact us at Custom Mirrors to get more information!

12 Bathroom Mirror Ideas for Every Style

The finishing touch to any bathroom is the perfect mirror. But if your vanity is looking a little lackluster, it may be time for some new bathroom mirror ideas. The good news is that there's a mirror for every style, whether you have a sleek, contemporary space or a more elegant and traditional bathroom. Peruse these bathroom mirror ideas to find the perfect piece and add some sparkle and shine to your morning routine.

Double Mirrors

A double vanity calls for two mirrors. Hang one above each sink to add symmetry to space. You can also hang two mirrors over a long single sink vanity to give the wall more impact without mirroring the whole thing.


Mirrored Wall

Overwhelmed by different sizes, shapes, and frames? Skip the decisions and mirror the entire wall! Bonus: Your tiny bathroom will feel bigger and brighter as a result.

Round Mirrors

A round mirror is a classic choice for a bathroom and can soften the sharp angles in contemporary spaces. Opt for a modern hanging style or choose a round mirror with an eye-catching frame.


Antique Mirrors

Mirrors are one of those pieces that look better with age. Skip the fresh-from-the-factory piece and find a vintage or antique mirror that's full of history, charm, and a few beautiful imperfections.


Minimalist Mirrors

For contemporary bathrooms, you'll want a mirror that fits with the streamlined design. Go for a basic shape that's frameless or has just a slim border.

Mix-and-Match Mirrors

You're not limited to one shape or size of the mirror. Try mixing and matching different mirrors above a double vanity to give the space a bit of personality.


Ornate Mirrors

For a look that’s over-the-top glamorous, choose an ornate mirror with a sparkling frame. You can also play with scale and go for an oversize style.

Mirror on Mirror

If you can't get enough sparkle, try doubling up. Layer a mirror on top of a mirrored wall for a look with depth.

The Benefits of Adding Bathroom Mirrors to Counters and Cupboards

Bathroom mirrors may be the most important aspect of a bathroom for reasons that everything to do with how you want to see yourself. While size and placement of a mirror will determine that, what about the psychological impact of having mirrors in more than just on bathroom walls? Not everyone is fortunate enough to own a bathroom that could be designated an alternate living room. You may be one who lives in a smaller house or apartment who feels claustrophobic in your tiny bathroom.

Yes, some bathrooms can be so small that you can barely turn around in them. But have you ever thought about what it would look like in there if you placed mirrors on your countertops or bathroom cupboards?  While we provide many different items made of glass, we're always designing custom projects for our clients to help give them the psychological feel of more space.

The Illusion of More Space in a Small Bathroom

While some may merely hang mirrors on all four walls of their bathrooms to make space look bigger, adding mirrors to your cupboard doors can add more stylization that's different from the ordinary. The reason is that it reflects light at different angles, hence making it easier to light up the area. Plus, with decorative possibilities on the cupboard doors, you can customize the mirrors with different designs to make it look more artful. This can include etched glass, something we do often.

When it comes to mirrors on your bathroom countertops, you can bring the same oblique angle function of reflecting light. You also give the illusion of more depth on those counter spaces by reflecting the ceiling. If you have the mirrors aimed toward a window bringing in natural light, a stubbornly dark bathroom can suddenly turn into a bright and cheerful area.

Contact us here at Custom Mirrors so we can work with you on customized mirrors for your bathroom. Since many people spend as much time in the bathroom as they do their kitchen, we want you to make your bathroom (or any room in your house) feel more vibrant with the power of glass and mirrors.

As with any product both sandblasted frosted glass and acid frosted glass have their benefits and disadvantages.
Sandblasting:
  • A pro to sandblasting is that you can are pretty much guaranteed good quality etching and it will be completed within a decent amount of time. Also, designs are readily available and can be more detailed.
  • A con to sandblasting is the glass is more likely to leave fingerprint marks which do require a bit more maintenance when it comes to cleaning.


Acid Etching
  • A pro to acid etched glass is that unlike sandblasted glass it is low-maintenance and less likely to leave fingerprint marks.
  • A con to acid etched glass is that it is not readily available due to the fact that the acid used is hazardous and often has to be produced overseas. Acid etching is also limited in custom designs.

Mirrors in the Hallway


In the small apartments and houses mirror is a practical element that visually enhances the space. It is the most commonly used detail in the hall as for aesthetic and functional reasons.
When it comes home decoration, hallways are the first impression that someone gets when entering your place. For this reason, you must do what it takes to leave a good one. Adding statement decorative pieces is one great way to add a “wow effect” in your entrance. For example, mirrors work perfectly in a hallway because they are an excellent decorative element and they are very practical as well.
To avoid narrowing of the small space, you should avoid large pieces of furniture.
Instead of one large mirror, you can play with combining more mirrors of the same shape and different dimensions.
Any mirror can make the hallway look larger if it will be located on the right place, as it accentuates art work, and still work as an everyday mirror. Hanging a large wall mirror in the hall makes a small, dark area feel more spacious and bright.
Frameless mirrors are often square and simple, an understated option that works in most spaces. We, at Custom Mirrors are offering you custom sizes and shapes, along with different edge and corner finish.

Do not hesitate to contact us to get more information!
