Your bathroom mirrors do much more than just fulfill a practical purpose; they become a statement area that brightens up the entire bathroom. With so many styles, shapes, and features, the choices can sometimes be too overwhelming.
Here is an all-inclusive guide that offers the best options for choosing the perfect mirror for your bathroom.
How You Can Determine the Perfect Bathroom Mirror
1. Functional Needs vs. Aesthetic Appeal
Before getting into the various types and functions, consider asking yourself what may be the primary need you have for your bathroom mirror.
- Functionality: Are you primarily going to use it for shaving, applying makeup, or just making sure you look okay? Based on this you can choose between a large bathroom mirror or a small bathroom mirror.
- Aesthetics: Are you looking to add that crowning glory to your bathroom?
- Storage: Do you want a mirror with integral storage solutions like a medicine cabinet?
2. Choose the Right Size
- Proportional Perfection: Your mirror should be in proportion to the bathroom size and vanity.
- Vanity: Mirrors are a must have to create a perfect vanity. Mirrors ideally are a few inches smaller than the vanity’s width.
- Height: Consider who will use the mirror: tall or short people. So when you place a mirror from Mirror Traders, place it at the center of the sink at eye level.
3. Choosing the Shape
- Rectangle Bathroom Mirrors: This classic rectangular mirror suits most bathrooms and provides clean functionality.
- Round Bathroom Mirrors: Place these round mirrors in your bathroom to add a touch of softness and elegance, perfect for modern or minimalist designs.
- Oval Bathroom Mirrors: Choose a mix of traditional and contemporary, rendering a unique and versatile look to your bathroom.
- Square Bathroom Mirrors: If you want a modern, geometric look, square mirrors at Mirror Traders add sophistication, giving your bathroom the perfect finishing look.
4. The frame
The frames at Mirror Traders add personality and fashion to your mirrors for bathroom:
- Framed: They add a finished and decorative look; pick materials and colors that complement your bathroom décor.
- Frameless: Provides formality and style, conveying openness to give an illusion of a larger bathroom.
5. Check for New Features
New mirrors come in different models that can bring functionality and convenience like:
- Inbuilt LED: Choose LED Bathroom Mirrors that offer improved illumination when you’re shaving or putting on makeup. Dimmable or adjustable lighting in mirrors make the job easier.
- Anti-Fog: Anti-Fog Bathroom Mirrors are the perfect pair for bathrooms that have bad ventilation. Even with excessive steam after a hot shower, anti-fog mirrors will never blur.
- Magnification: Our high-end models at Mirror Traders are equipped with magnified portions or an additional magnifying mirror to help deal with more minute grooming requirements.
- Bluetooth Speakers: For those who can never get enough of good music, some of our designs come with built-in Bluetooth speakers right inside the mirror.
6. Reflect Your Style
Your bathroom mirror should match with your bathroom’s decor, which includes:
- Traditional: Pick ornate frames with traditional detailing to bring timeless charm into your space.
- Modern: Go for frameless, sleek mirrors or ones with sparingly designed frames to make your bathroom look modern and classy..
- Rustic: Choose wooden-framed mirrors or those with distressed finishes for a warm, rustic character.
- Glamour: You might need mirrors that will comfort you with metal frames or decorations for a glamorous look.
7. Installation Considerations
Ensure your mirror is firmly fixed in the right place:
- Height: Hang the mirror at a height accessible to all users. In most cases, the mirror’s center should be at eye level.
- Placement: Hang the bathroom wall mirror centered above your sink or vanity. A level will keep it straight.
- Solid Mounting: Use appropriate mounting hardware for your wall, whether it’s drywall, tile, or something else. Heavy mirrors of larger size may need additional support.
8. Budget Wisely
It would be wise to set a budget and consider a few other factors when choosing a perfect mirror:
- Material quality: Higher quality materials last longer and look better.
- Features: Decide which features are must-haves and which ones you can do without.
- Design impact: Sometimes, it is well worth the extra buck if the mirror fits your style and aesthetics perfectly to enhance the whole bathroom look.
