Mirror Installation in Central Wisconsin
Design a custom-framed mirror or choose from pre-made options to decorate or add functionality to a space.
The What and Why of Mirror Installation
The right mirror adds light, depth, and a sense of openness to your home or business. They’re a design choice that can change the feel of any space while adding a new element of functionality. Whether it’s a custom vanity mirror in a bathroom, a full-length piece in a closet, or a decorative accent in a hallway or living room, a professionally installed mirror will integrate with the existing style of the room while achieiving a flawless finish with secure mounting.
Types of Mirrors
There are tons of different use cases, sizes, and styles of mirrors, so let’s break it down into two categories.
Custom Mirrors
If you’ve struggled to find the right mirror for your space, whether you require it to be a specific look to go with your decor, or can’t find the right shape or size that will look and offer the right functionality, custom mirrors are your option. You’ll be able to choose the frame style you’d like in the size and color that will fit well with your space. If it’s helpful for your project, a Rib Mountain Glass field service technician will be happy to meet with you at your home to discuss your particular decorating needs.
Pre-Made Mirrors
If your project doesn’t require a custom mirror, you’ll be able to choose from a wide selection of pre-made options to fit your style and space. Choose from lacquered finishes, wood frames, hand-distressed designs, and striking metallic finishes that add character. Rib Mountain Glass is proud to carry mirrors from Consolidated Mirror, which includes their popular line of frameless mirrors with durable Masonite backing. These mirrors are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to fit your remodel or project build.
Tips
Mirrors are an excellent way to create the illusion of larger, brighter spaces. That said, proper placement and planning are essential to maximize their impact. For smaller rooms, hanging a mirror on a darker-colored wall can add depth and make the area feel more spacious. In hallways or corridors, mirrors should be positioned thoughtfully to reflect soft lighting or artwork—not open doors or cluttered spaces—to create a welcoming atmosphere.
Alternating vertical mirrors with paneling can visually widen narrow corridors, while etched mirrors in restaurants or offices add an elegant touch that complements your décor. Mirrors also help spread natural and artificial light, brightening rooms and potentially lowering energy costs. Avoid placing mirrors directly opposite bright windows or harsh lights to reduce unwanted glare.
With the right approach, mirrors can transform small or dim areas into well-lit environments that feel very open and inviting.
