Mirrors aren’t just for the home; they are great additions to businesses, too. Strategically placed mirrors reflect light to make spaces seem bigger and brighter. They can also be used to showcase products and discourage shoplifting. As part of the overall design of the business space, mirrors are a decorative touch that adds character. If you’re considering adding mirrors to your business, get inspired by these ideas:
Restaurants
Mirrors can be utilized in all types of restaurants, from fast-casual to Michelin-starred. When used as design features, mirrors evoke a sense of sophistication that complements the fine dining experience. Behind a bar, mirrors allow bartenders to keep an eye on who’s coming and going and highlight the liquor selection. In quick-service food spots, the use of mirrors can make a small space seem larger.
Gyms
Mirrors are a must-have in a gym. They allow members to check their form while lifting weights or holding yoga poses, which is a plus for gym safety. Mirrors are also a great motivator; a glimpse of yourself in the mirror can encourage you to keep going to meet your fitness goals. And since gyms can be dark, mirrors can reflect light to make the space brighter.
Stores
Retail stores can benefit from mirrors in several ways. Mirrors can be positioned to draw customers’ eyes to certain products that managers want to highlight. Once a customer picks up an item, seeing it in a mirror can help them visualize the product on them or in their home, making them more likely to purchase it. Mirrors can also provide extra security, as employees can have a clear view of the store, and potential thieves know that someone could be watching at all times.
Offices
In the office setting, mirrors are mostly part of the overall interior design. Sleek mirrors convey a sense of professionalism and instill confidence in clients (and employees). Mirrors can also be customized with a business logo to make them one of a kind.
Hotels and Apartment Buildings
Mirrors are often used in the lobbies of hotels and apartment buildings to reflect light and add a sense of style. Of course, mirrors are also needed in bathrooms for each room or unit. While frameless mirrors are often popular, mirrors with decorative frames or LED lights are also popular.
Adding mirrors is an easy way to make a good impression on customers and even increase your sales. Contact your local True View location today to learn more about installing mirrors in your business. We look forward to hearing from you!
