Summer is the season of light, warmth, and refreshing your home’s vibe. One of the most effortless — and stunning — ways to amplify your summer décor is by incorporating custom mirrors. Whether you’re updating a sun-drenched living room, giving your bathroom a breezy refresh, or making your entryway feel more open, custom mirrors can completely transform how your space feels.
Let’s break down the why and how behind using mirrors to brighten up your summer interiors.

Brighten Sunlit Rooms with Large Decorative Mirrors
- Why it works: Mirrors bounce natural light across the room, making even small spaces feel larger and brighter.
- Where to use them:
- Over the mantel in the living room to reflect garden views
- Opposite a window to double the sunlight effect
- On a dark hallway wall to open up the space
- Design tip: Go for a statement piece — think oversized, antique frames or minimalist frameless styles — depending on your home’s aesthetic.

- Tall, narrow mirrors make a narrow hallway feel taller
- Grouped mirror arrangements create an artistic focal point
Amplify Natural Light in Summer Interiors
Want to make the most of those long summer days? Here’s how mirrors help:
- Reflect sunlight deeper into the room — place them opposite windows.
- Brighten shadowy corners — use small mirrors near lamps or sconces.
- Create the illusion of more windows — frame a mirror to mimic the look of a windowpane.
This trick not only increases the visual brightness but also gives your home an airy, open feel perfect for summer gatherings.
Care Tips for Humid Summer Months
With Georgia’s sticky summer air, mirrors can easily collect streaks, fog, or moisture spots. Here’s how to keep them crystal clear:
- Use a microfiber cloth and vinegar-water mix for gentle cleaning.
- Avoid spraying cleaners directly on the mirror — spray the cloth instead.
- Keep bathroom fans running to reduce humidity buildup.
- For decorative mirrors, dust frames regularly, especially if they’re wood or metal, to prevent mildew or tarnish.
- Consider applying an anti-fog or protective coating (ask Griffin Glass about this!) for high-humidity areas.
