We look into them when we are brushing our teeth, applying facial cream, cutting our hair or painfully squeezing our spots. A mirror in the bathroom is actually a vital accessory and it may well be worth spending time over choosing the right one.

Every bathroom varies and you may have to adapt the mirror style depending on how much wall space you have, as this will affect the style and shape of a suitable mirror. Traditional wooden frames, glass finishes, light borders and modern features are amongst the extensive range of styles.

A bathroom mirror should never be wider than a vanity unit. However, if you have double basins, it may be worth looking at a large extended mirror that fills almost the entire accent wall. This is also a great idea if you want to increase light exposure in the room and create a stylish boudoir.

Mirrors can create a very relaxing ambiance especially if you place more than one in the same room. If you have a white or cream bathroom suite and natural tiled walls, finishing it off with a large modern mirror can create the ultimate eco-chic look. Placing candles in front of a mirror creates a romantic setting which is perfect if that’s the mood you’d like to aim for. Candle flames against a mirror can lead to a simple but striking effect.

If the lighting in your bathroom is poor, then an illuminated mirror could solve problems as you no longer have to squint to see your face. The bathroom mirrors with lights are usually lit up by very small lights that are positioned around the edges of the glass itself.

If you are worried about using too much power then don’t be. Fortunately, you can buy environmentally-friendly LED mirrors that use the latest technology and are extremely energy- efficient; they run at low wattage, reducing your energy costs.

Infinity Mirrors

If you’re really into high-tech accessories, then infinity mirrors can provide you with a super natural and ultra-modern edge. By adding one of these mirrors to a simple room, you will automatically transform it into a futuristic room.

With the visual illusion of never-ending light enabled through an advanced touch sensor underneath the mirror, you will definitely make an impression when family and friends pay you a visit.
