Stellar Bathroom Mirror Styles You'll Want to Copy

When you think of bathroom design, your mind goes straight to glorious baths, glossy tiles, and refined tapware.

Mirrors aren’t always the first fitting planned in a bathroom renovation and while there may be more pressing matters, they definitely should not be at the other end of the priorities list.

The range of mirror styles available in this modern age has grown exponentially, so let’s explore the options and the reasons why they might suit your bathroom renovation space.

LED Mirrors

The newest type of mirror available is the LED mirror. Shape is not an issue here as you can go with square, rectangle, circle and even oval. They come in many sizes so you can choose what fits your space the best.

Depending on the make and model of LED mirror, you can change the settings to bright, dim it down to suit your relaxing bath, or select a cool or warm light emission.

Mirror Cabinets

Mirror cabinets allow you to increase that ever-precious storage real estate in your bathroom. If your walls and framing allow, we may be able to recess this into the wall during your renovation so that you get the best of both worlds. A good range of mirror cabinet manufacturers now fit their hinges so that you can open the mirrors towards each other. This enables you to see the back of your head for styling.

Picture Box Mirrors

Picture box mirrors can add depth and interest to your bathroom renovations space. These are mirrors mounted into wooden or metal frames to border their edges. Accompanied with the right vanity light, you can build a gorgeous vanity area.

Polished and Bevelled Edge

If you are a minimalist, want to save space, or simply on a budget, the polished or bevelled edge mirror is just the ticket. These can be bracketed onto the wall or glue fixed depending on your personal taste and style. The bevelled edge creates a very simple border style while keeping the look simple, and the polished edge keeps it even tidier again.
