Modern accents like a black round mirror or a brass framed bath mirror can refresh your style with crisp lines. Make your new mirror the centerpiece of your refreshed aesthetic, then pick out stylish bath accessories and linens to match.
How to Choose a Bath Mirror
1. Measure Your Bathroom Mirror
Start by measuring the width of your sink or vanity to determine the maximum width. Then measure from the top of the sink or backsplash up to the light fixture to determine maximum height for the mirror.
2. Pick a Bathroom Mirror Shape
Bath mirrors come in a variety of shapes and sizes. From oval and round to rectangular and square, a mirror can really make a statement in the room. To create visual interest, try a circular mirror paired with a rectangular vanity. Or, if you have an oval or round pedestal sink, a more angular style may look nice.
3. Frame or Frameless Bath Mirrors
Do you prefer a mirror with a frame or a frameless piece? Frameless mirrors are often glued to the surface upon which they are hung, while a framed mirror frequently has a hook or other mounting brackets. Framed mirrors offer a more custom look than frameless and can elevate the style of your full or half bath.
4. Choose Materials for Your Mirror
Once you've selected the shape, size and frame, materials are the next option. Metal frames have a rustic look but may not weather well in high humidity environments unless specifically treated. Wood, plastic and rattan are better suited for small bathrooms where water may come in contact with the surface.
5. Consider Bathroom Mirror Storage and Features
Some mirrors, such as medicine cabinets. offer additional storage. Medicine cabinets are great in small spaces or when hung above pedestal sinks or other vanities that do not offer much storage. Another commonly sought out feature is fog free mirrors. Do you take hot showers or baths that frequently steam up the bathroom? If so, a fog proof mirror can help you apply skincare and body care products straight out of the shower without having to wait for the mirror to clear up.
For bathrooms short on space or if a full length mirror is desired, floor or over the door mirrors make excellent options that provide a large viewing surface without taking up much space.
No matter what you decide, coordinating your bathroom mirror with your countertops, faucets, walls and floor will create a bath that looks and functions beautifully.
