Bathroom Ideas

Designing or re-designing a bathroom may seem like an easy task, but it turns out it’s much more complicated than it seems. There are so many great bathroom mirror ideas it can be hard to know where to start. We suggest kicking things off by thinking about the type of mirror that you would like in the bathroom, as this is the piece that will be in the center of it all.

There are many choices when choosing the perfect mirror for your bathroom, so it can seem like a daunting task. First, think about the size of your bathroom. Do you want a small or large mirror? Once you have decided on the size, think about the shape. Would an oval mirror work best, or are you looking for a rectangular mirror?

Once you have solidified your decisions on the size and shape of the mirror, you can think about lighting options. Having good lighting is crucial so you can enjoy all the benefits of the mirror you just picked out. You will have to decide if the ceiling lighting in your bathroom is enough light or if you will need to add additional lighting over top of the mirror.

If you decide you do need additional lighting, the choices continue. You need to choose between LED or traditional bulbs and the type of fixture you will need. These stylistic bathroom mirror ideas should be tailored to the design of your bathroom.

FAQs

How can I choose the right-sized mirror for my bathroom?

Choosing the right size mirror for your bathroom is essential for achieving a balanced and functional look. Start by measuring the available wall space above your vanity or sink area. Ideally, the mirror’s width should not exceed the width of the vanity, and it should be proportionate to the wall size. For taller individuals or those with multiple users, consider a mirror that extends to eye level.

However, if you have limited space, opt for a smaller, more compact mirror that complements the room without overwhelming it. Keep in mind that mirrors with frames may add additional width, so factor that into your measurements.

Are there specific mirrors suitable for small bathrooms?

Yes, there are various mirror options that work well in small bathrooms to create an illusion of more space and light. Frameless mirrors or those with slim and minimalistic frames are excellent choices.

Wall-mounted mirrors, particularly those with integrated storage like medicine cabinets, help to save valuable floor space. Opt for mirrors that reach the edges of the vanity to make the area appear larger.

Additionally, mirrors with reflective surfaces or LED backlighting can enhance brightness and create a sense of openness in a small bathroom.

How can I incorporate lighting around my bathroom mirror effectively?

Proper lighting around the bathroom mirror is crucial for achieving optimal visibility and ambiance. For an evenly lit face, consider installing vertical sconces on either side of the mirror at eye level. This helps to minimize shadows and provides excellent illumination for grooming tasks.

Alternatively, you can opt for a backlit mirror or one with integrated LED lights to create a soft, flattering glow. If you prefer overhead lighting, ensure it is positioned to eliminate shadows and not directly above the mirror, as this can cause unflattering shadows on your face. Remember to use LED bulbs for energy efficiency and minimal heat emission.
