Let’s admit it, we all want to look good and only mirrors can tell us the real truth. Perhaps that is the reason why mirrors have been an integral part of all households for centuries. Of course like all other things, mirrors too have evolved in the last few years and moved to a higher level of style and sophistication. This is the reason why mirrors are now being increasingly used for their decorative attributes and not just for their functional one. Read more... How mirrors work wonders in your home In addition to doing what they are supposed to do – show you your reflection and tell you how you’re looking at that particular moment, mirrors can do wonders as space enhancers. Mirrors provide the illusion of space: If you are faced with a space constraint in your home, make liberal use of mirrors. Visually, they will open up the space. Small living rooms and bedrooms appear considerably larger if you devote one entire wall to mirrors. The visual duplication of space will make the room look much bigger than it actually is. Mirrors reflect light and color: In case your space is particularly dark with say, just one window to let in the natural light, place a mirror just opposite the window. The mirror reflects the light and your room becomes brighter in an instant. The same technique works with an artificial light source as well. If you can put a mirror on your ceiling you can give a stunning lighting effect to your room. Mirrors open up narrow passages: If your problem is a rather narrow passage at the entrance or anywhere else in your home, you can make it look much larger with the use of mirrors. Hang mirrors on both walls facing each other, the space looks much wider and spacious than it actually is. Now you won’t ever feel the passage closing in on you. If you want to make hallway look longer, put up a mirror at the end of the hallway. Mirrors look wonderful as pieces of décor: Mirrors look spectacular as wall decor. For a wonderful effect, you can make a collage of different shapes and sizes mirrors and put it up on a focal wall or behind a sofa instead of a conventional painting. Alternately, you can put up a mirror in conjunction with other pieces of décor to create a really unique wall arrangement. Or you can put photographs around one large mirror. This looks fantastic as well. Mirrors complete your bathroom and dressing area: No bathroom is complete without at least mirror. Everyone uses one for shaving or to apply makeup etc but a large bathroom mirror can also add a look of increased space and lighting to a small area. You can place one facing the bathtub or on the door in addition to the one about the basin. These days magnifying mirrors are also being increasingly used in bathrooms. Whether your dressing area is in your bedroom or you’re lucky enough to have a separate dressing room, mirrors are a vital element of this space. You can use one large mirror and several smaller ones like cosmetic mirrors and magnifying mirrors to really take a good and close look at yourself. Mirrors brighten up your kitchen: Creative usage of mirrors in the kitchen can make the area look bigger and brighter. If your little ones like to help you in the kitchen, a mirror over the stove, allows your child to stay at a safe distance and yet see what’s going on. Mirrors add a special touch to your furniture: Your coffee table will look out of this world if you replace the top with a mirror. Any thing placed on gets reflected in the mirror adding color and texture. An attractive table or console with a decorative mirror on top placed at the entrance of your home looks very welcoming. This is also where you get a last glimpse of yourself as you step out of the house. Decorative mirrors, added behind book cases make them look really attractive If used in an imaginative way, mirrors can really add glitz and glamour to your home. One thing that you need to keep in mind though while using mirrors is that mirrors should only duplicate beautiful and pleasant things. This could be a vase of fresh flowers, a lovely painting or nature in all its glory.

It’s an instant attention grabber. There is no way anyone who walks into a room can miss such a piece if it is placed strategically on a wall. Read more... What exactly is wall art? The dictionary meaning of contemporary is anything that belongs to the present period. In home decor terms, it means anything that is unusual, interesting, stylish and made of modern materials following a minimalistic approach to design. In one word – it’s different. And because it’s different and not run of the mill, it’s sought after. Largely by home owners who want to create a smart and modern ambience in their homes. A lot of people think that contemporary wall decor is just good to look at, beyond that it serves no purpose. Nothing could be further from the truth. Many such contemporary articles perform functional tasks as effectively as anything else. Contemporary wall art is limitless One of the most unique things about contemporary wall art is that it gives you countless possibilities to get creative with your walls. A white wall with splashes of rainbow colors on it can be one option of this contemporary wall treatment. Yet another could be an abstract stainless steel sculpture. Or a completely funky clock. The options are limitless. It is up to you to decide what will look good on a wall, how it will complement the rest of the decor and how it reflects your vision for your home. It is obvious that contemporary wall art is a perfect fit in modern homes. What comes as a revelation for many is that is can look great in a not so contemporary setting as well. Here, it acts as the element of surprise. Why contemporary wall art works Contemporary wall art lets you break wall monotony in the most stylish way possible. Since this style is associated with simplicity yet sophistication, any space can be transformed from ordinary to extraordinary in an instant. Contemporary styling works on the principle of less is more. Even a single impressive piece on the wall can make your wall a show stealer. There is no need to fill up your wall with several objects to create an impact. Different types of contemporary wall art Though it is difficult to make any distinct categories, broadly what people like to put up on their walls in modern homes other than clocks and mirrors is as follows: • Sculptures • Paintings • Picture Frames • Prints • Sconces • Art Tiles • Wall Furniture Contemporary wall art available right here Being in tune with modern design trends, we bring you a selection of some of the most classy and unique contemporary wall accessories to choose from.

Choose contemporary wall art with care and attention As with all other facets of home decor, selecting wall art too is a complex process. It can be made easier if you bear in mind a few important points: • First take a good look around your home. Decide which are the walls which need to be done up. Which space is it? Is it a private space like your bedroom or one which is accessible to other people as well? • Decide if you want your wall accessory to be only decorative, or both functional and decorative. • Know your special preference as far as material is concerned. If you are specifically interested in metal then you will know where to look for it and where not. • Measure the wall area you need to cover. Then you will know exactly how big or small the wall art piece needs to be. • Of course decide your budget before hand. This way you will know what is within your means and what is not. Contemporary wall art is a fantastic option if you want something out-of-the-ordinary for your walls. It not just makes your wall interesting but adds a touch of style and sophistication to your home. admin@vitalwares.ca http://www.vitalwares.ca/home-decor-wall-decor-wall-art-c-120_119_178 Mon, 29 Nov 2010 18:29:00 -0500
