Selling a home provides unique challenges that may be frustrating if buyers aren't offering the price a seller wants. However, subtle home improvements can boost a home's value and draw in a more significant number of potential buyers. And customized mirrors scattered throughout a house provide one of the most attractive - and least expensive - home improvement options for this purpose.

How Custom Mirrors Improve Home Value

Mirrors have many excellent design options that improve a home's value in a multitude of ways. Homeowners who debate installing custom mirrors in their home need to understand each of these benefits and why they are so important. These mirror advantages include the following elements:
  • Better lighting: Homeowners who carefully position mirrors throughout their home can reflect sunlight into darker areas and improve the appearance of dark and gloomy regions.
  • Stylish bathrooms: The bathroom of a home must be stylish and attractive when trying to sell a house. A high-quality custom mirror enhances the bathroom's appearance by making it look larger, brighter, and more comfortable.
  • Boost room size: Small rooms may drive away potential buyers or at least cause them to reconsider a purchase. However, custom mirrors in these small rooms create the illusion of a larger and more comfortable environment.
  • Better fashion options: Add custom mirrors to a home's room to create a unique fashion or style statement that potential buyers will notice right away. Utilize elegant and eye-catching mirrors to enhance the look of a home.
  • Potential feng shui benefits: Many buyers use the guidelines of feng shui when buying a home. And mirrors provide many feng shui benefits, such as bringing positive energy into a room and softening harsher elements.
  • Enhance security: Mirrors in a home provide a security edge by allowing homeowners to see around walls. These benefits can help homeowners track people who they don't trust in their home and catch them if they try to steal anything.
  • Hide poor design elements: Minor imperfections in a home can exasperate a buyer and drive down their asking price. However, consider hanging a mirror over these issues- such as a crack in the wall - to hide the problem while also adding a style upgrade to a home.
All of these benefits make high-quality custom mirrors an excellent choice for a home. Make sure to create subtle differences in each mirror to make a home's design more diverse while also retaining some elements between each mirror to keep their style unified.

Where to Install Custom Mirrors 

When installing custom mirrors in a home, homeowners need to choose a handful of installation locations. Avoid adding mirrors in every room of a house but, instead, scatter them where they are required. In this way, a homeowner can enhance the style of their home without overwhelming it with too many mirrors. Just a few areas that benefit from mirrors include:
  • Packed living rooms
  • Small and dark bathrooms
  • Guest bedrooms
  • Along hallway walls
  • Near windows that collect sunlight
Each of these areas has a problem that a high-quality mirror can help to correct. For example, a mirror in a guest bedroom makes them feel more inviting, comfortable, and homey. Just as importantly, mirrors near sunlit windows reflect light back into a home where it is most needed.
  
Carefully placed and designed mirrors can elevate a room and prepare your home for sale if that's what you want to do.

Satin Brass Hardware Making its Way Back

By Eric Humes • May 18, 2023

 The shower scene usually moves trends slowly throughout the year, and one of those that stands out is Satin Brass. This finish is available in many different layouts from a single shower door, to shower door and panel(s), all the way to barn style sliding models. Larger companies like C.R. Laurence Company and Frameless Hardware Company have always offered Satin Brass, but smaller companies are now adding the finish to their products.

 Residential Service Manager for Kenny Glass, Tricia Brand, has noticed Satin Brass becoming more of a regular.  “Black has still remained popular along with Brushed Nickel” she said, and while it isn’t in the top choices, this finish has shown to be slowly climbing to those top spots.

 Satin Brass provides the warmth of brass but has a softer muted hue, with a golden yellow brushed look. Its subtle matte finish helps with keeping fingerprints from showing as well.

 This finish is flexible. It can stay retro, but also become elegant and modern if needed. Satin Brass can easily be mixed with the bright tone of Chrome for a complementing contrast, or by itself to create distinctively noticeable fixtures. Pair it with white or light grey for a soft, clean look. Also adding in a black or deep blue vanity or dark floor tile can make it really stand out and become noticed.

 Satin Brass and many other finishes are available in our framed, semi-frameless, sliding, and fully frameless shower enclosures. Stop in at our Columbus or Seymour location today, to let us help achieve the look you’re after.
