Dazzling Bathroom Mirror Ideas

We often overlook the bathroom mirrors and the role they play in the overall functionality and aesthetics of the space. Mirrors that complement your bathroom interior design and fulfill your functional needs greatly enhance the experience.

From utility purposes to purely decorative, bathroom mirrors need as much planning as any other remodeling job in the bathroom. Here we will understand the bathroom mirror ideas according to their functionality, shapes, aesthetics, and materials to help in your next remodeling project.

Bathroom Mirrors with Functionality

Mirrors, if you plan well, often serve multiple purposes. From storage spaces to adjustability, you should consider both the aesthetics and the functionality while choosing a mirror for your bathroom. These are our top recommendations.

Illuminated Border

Mirrors with LED borders provide that extra illumination when you want to get ready early morning or late at night when there is no sunlight. They are useful when the other lighting in the bathroom is low. Illuminated border mirrors project extra diffused light on the face and are great when you want to do that makeup or a close shave.

Backlit LED

Bathroom mirrors with backlit LED brighten up the space without the need to switch on the main lights. The light creates a focal point in the space you use to get ready. Modern backlit LED mirrors project soft light that you can control with a mobile app or voice commands.

Extendable Vanity Mirror

As the name implies, extendable vanity mirrors provide greater flexibility and visibility. They come with a telescopic mirror extender and optional magnifying mirrors that help you get ready for the party. Extendable vanity mirrors are great secondary mirrors in the bathroom.

Mirrors with Storage Cabinets

Modern mirrors with storage cabinets look sleek and stylish and provide that extra storage for medicine, moisturizers, toothpaste, toothbrush, shaving items, and more. Mirrors with storage cabinets save space in your primary drawers that you can use for storing towels, slippers, and other larger bathroom items.

You can keep the daily essentials off the countertop, which makes the place look clean and organized.

Side-by-Side Mirrors

Two mirrors side-by-side on a double sink give people personal space if you and your partner are in a stressful early morning rush. The mirrors improve bathroom functionality and space utilization.

Adjustable Pivot Mirror

An adjustable mirror uses a pivot to tilt up or down at an angle to give you greater control. Get a larger range of viewing, whether it is you, your children, or guests using it. From the main to the guest bathroom, you can use adjustable pivot mirrors alike.

Bathroom Mirror Shapes

The size of the mirror must complement the space and design of the bathroom. Consider the size of the sink, the countertop, and the wall when you select the mirror size. Some of our recommendations are –

Soft Circle

Round glass brings balance to the bathroom design and looks sleek and elegant. You can choose the size of the circle to complement the size of other fitments and accessories. Consider using a LED-backlit circle mirror for greater aesthetic appeal.

Expansive Rectangle

Large expansive rectangle mirrors make the bathroom look larger, a tried and tested technique in interior designing. You can use a horizontal rectangle instead of two separate mirrors on a double sink, and still create enough space for you and your partner to use the same space comfortably.

Full-Length Mirror

The oversize mirror from ceiling to floor integrates well with the vanity and gives you a perfect view of your outfit every morning. By putting the full-length mirror inside the bathroom, you save floor space in the bedroom and the closet.

Non-Traditional Shape Mirrors

Think outside of the normal and consider using non-traditional shapes such as hexagons and ovals. Unconventional shapes with the right choice of border add style to the bathroom while keeping the mirrors functional. While the edges of a hexagonal mirror bring in sharp lines, an oval mirror softens the lines and provides a better view due to its longer length.

Bathroom Mirror Aesthetics

You can use additional accessories that make the mirror match the overall bathroom décor. Here are some of our design ideas.

Bohemian Concept

Mix and blend textiles and unconventional materials of different patterns and styles to bring out the boho look in your bathroom. Bathroom mirrors with wooden frames, back walls, and countertops make you feel like you are relaxing in a spa. Enhance the space aesthetics with green pots and other design elements.

Contemporary Design

This design is for you if you like a mirror with clean lines that aligns well with the rest of the contemporary aesthetics of the bathroom. Frameless mirrors bring in a contemporary design with a minimalist yet spacious look to the bathroom.

Hollywood Lights

Go bold with a Hollywood vanity mirror for that perfect selfie, or apply that amazing makeup. Bright light bulbs line the frame of the mirror and illuminate the space as you get ready. Hollywood light mirrors go well with a wide range of bathroom interiors and instantly enhance the functionality of the space.

Bathroom Mirror Materials and Styles

Do not forget the material of the frame or any other accessory as you choose the perfect mirror for your bathroom. Some of our recommendations are –

Lustrous Brass

Metallic frames of brass, silver, or copper around the mirror add an instant appeal to the whole bathroom. While silver gives a modern and sleek look, brass and copper give a more rustic yet stylish design. Using metal frames is also a great way to match the mirror design with that of other accessories, such as the faucet, towel rack, and light fixtures.

Beveled Glass

Beveled glasses have an edge around the frame that is cut at an angle to make the mirror look more pronounced. The bevel serves as a visual point of interest and refracts the light to create greater dimension to the space.

Frosted Glass

Frosted bathroom glasses use sandblasting as a technique to chip away the top layer and create partial opacity on the surface. This surface still lets the light pass through. The sandblasting technique is called glass etching which adds a design element to the bathroom mirror. You can do the etching at the borders or in any other design pattern.

Summary

Bathroom mirrors complement the design language of the rest of the bathroom. Whether you choose a sleek modern design or a bohemian look, the wrong mirror design can stick out like a sore thumb.
