Who's the Fairest of Them All?

Mirrors aren't just for checking your hair as you run out of the house in the morning. When thoughfully added to a room design, a framed mirror has the ability to change the overall look and feel of a room. At Art 3 Gallery we get excited about your vision; come into the gallery and see how we can complete the look you've been imagining. Here are some tips that may entice you to purchase a custom-framed mirror.
1. Be Creative
Mirrors belong in any and every room. A mirror in a dark hallway or narrow stairwell will lighten the space and open it up.
2. Lighten Up
Bring some light into a dark room with a mirror hung to reflect the out-of-doors - a beautiful sunrise or sunset, a lovely view of trees or a garden in bloom.
3. Expand Your Space
Mirrors can give a room a feeling of depth. A small dining or sitting room can be visually enlarged very easily with a perfectly placed framed mirror.
4. Group Up
If a large mirror isn't your thing, how about using a grouping of several smaller mirrors. It's not important to match the surroundings or each other. At Art 3, we are experts at hanging multiple pieces.
5. What's Showing?
Hang a framed mirror to reflect something on the opposite wall - a piece of framed artwork will do double duty.
6. Mix and Match
Add mirrors to other pieces of wall decor already in place. The mirror will give your eye a rest from whatever else you have on your walls.
7. To Hang or Not To Hang
Your mirror does not have to be hung on the wall - it can be rested on the floor, a shelf, an easel, or a mantel. When you do decide to hang a mirror, try using the professionals at Art 3. Quite often, a mirror will weigh much more than a similarly sized painting, and you will want to make sure the height is just right for checking yourself out in the morning as you run out the door.
