/in /by

Here at Florida State Glass and Mirror we are well known for our clear glass shower enclosures, our seamless glass railings and frameless glass balcony railings but we also offer a full range of beautiful custom mirrors that can add style and light to your home. 

“In the world of home decor, mirrors can be a magical design tool,” the home improvement pros at Realtor.com say. “They can brighten a dark room. They can make a tiny space look much bigger. And they can add an affordable touch of glamour and style to even the most ordinary of spaces.”

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

The folks at Realtor.com also say that a mirror can help you make the most of a beautiful view. “Create more of a good thing by positioning a mirror to reflect eye-catching rosebushes, a view of a lake, the mountains, or even the trees in your yard,” they suggest.

We can help you bring more of Florida’s lush beauty inside with a variety of custom window options, including: 

 

And when it comes to bathroom mirrors, the folks at Realtor.com recommend going all out. “You almost can’t overdo mirrors in the bathroom, so definitely go to town in this space.” Amy Bell, a designer at Red Chair Home Interiors, in Cary, NC, gives Realtor.com some counter-intuitive advice: “An easy, instant fix to a claustrophobic bathroom is to swap out a small mirror for a larger one.”

Take Luxury to the Next Level with Glass Shower Panels

/in /by

Frameless glass shower doors are a great and stylish way to update any bathroom. They are modern and practical and add a sense of instant luxury.

If you are planning a bathroom renovation and want to create a luxurious, spa-like atmosphere there are other features that you may also want to consider in your planning process. One thing that always makes a space feel luxurious is space. In most cases, you will just have to work with what you have, but if you have an extra room that is being underutilized and if your budget will stretch to cover it, you might want to think about expanding the footprint of your new bathroom. 

The Luxe Treatment

Clear glass shower enclosures and extra space are not your only options when it comes to creating a luxurious bathroom. The folks at Better Homes & Gardens offer some great suggestions for fulfilling your dream of a luxury bathroom. Here are a few of our favorites:  

  • Showerheads

A small showerhead is not what you want for your luxury bathroom. These days you have lots of options, including rain showers and steam showers. You should also consider which finishes will highlight your design. 

  • Mirrors

An elegant mirror is a must in a luxury bathroom. You can have a fixed mirror and a couple of flanked mirrors that will allow you to see yourself from multiple angles. Wall-mount lights at each side of the mirror at about eye level, with a third light above the mirror, will illuminate your face from both sides and above, removing shadows. Get a mirror with quality optics. It will always tell you that you are “the fairest of them all.”

  • Faucets

The easiest way to change your bathroom look is a faucet. Make it contemporary or minimalistic, but let it stand out on its own.

  • A Bouquet of Fresh Flowers

Luxury doesn’t necessarily equate to expensive. For example, fresh flowers in a lovely vase will emphasize the beauty of any room, including your bathroom. 

Of course, frameless shower doors are still one of the easiest ways to instantly evoke a sense of luxury in your bathroom. And we aren’t the only ones who think they are beautiful. Frameless glass shower doors – and frameless glass balcony railings – remain a top trend this year. If you aren’t sure what would work in your home, contact us. We would be happy to discuss your options.
