Homework Before Choosing a Mirror for the Bathroom
Measure precisely how much space you can allocate for the mirror. The top should be 10–15 cm below the ceiling, and the bottom should be at least 15 cm above the sink to avoid constant splashing and water deposits on the glass. Leave 2.5–5 cm from the edges. If you plan to choose a smaller mirror than you had, consider the trim. If larger – make sure it fits perfectly and the necessary proportions are maintained. Also, evaluate the width of the frames.
Choose a place to hang the mirror. The most popular place is above the bathroom cabinet with a sink, where you can conveniently brush your teeth, shave, do makeup, comb your hair, and perform other procedures while all necessary accessories are at hand. Also, consider where the window or other light source is located. The more natural light the mirror reflects, the better the visual effect. Ideally, the mirror should hang opposite the window. If there is no window or they are small, think about lighting above the mirror.
Consider what style of frames you want. Choose those that best match the existing decor. This way, the interior will remain cohesive, and the bathroom will look neatly arranged. Coordinate the color of the mirror frame and the chosen materials with the existing bathroom furniture or accessories. If you are furnishing a new bathroom or doing a major renovation, it is advisable to first choose the bathroom furniture and only then coordinate the mirror with it.
Evaluate the method of attaching the mirror. It is not recommended to choose glue, as it can be affected by moisture. This method would also create inconveniences if you wanted to update the interior, as glue marks are very difficult to remove. Use fasteners – they will not cause problems, even if you plan to change the mirror's location in the near future.
Review a suitable frame catalog. Take your time and review a wide and durable frame catalog suitable for bathroom mirrors. It will be easier to choose the most pleasing and suitable model.
How to Create a Unique Style in the Bathroom Using a Mirror
Don’t be afraid of unusual shapes, sizes, and finishes. If you appreciate tradition but want change, you can choose a rectangular or oval mirror with a unique finish or ornaments. Modern homeowners will likely enjoy unusual, bold shapes. An odd, sophisticated mirror shape is the easiest way to add elegance and create a unique style.
Outstanding frames create a stronger effect. They will add solidity and luxury. If you want an exceptional and elegant interior accent, choose frames made of exotic wood, stainless steel, iron, copper, leather, plastic, or other materials. Think about which color best suits your bathroom – classic black or white, dark wood, aged effect surface, Provence style, soft cream color, pastel shades, or perhaps bright and bold?
A framed mirror in the bathroom interior will serve as an accent element that completes a cohesive style. It brings new life to the space, creates character, allows more light, space, and a cozy atmosphere. Colorful, originally ornamented frames add luxury and warmth.
The decorative part can also become the elements of the mirror's attachment. Striving for not only functionality but also aesthetic impact, you can hang the mirror on ropes or wires, which will also become interior details.
If you have enough space, choose a large mirror. It will not only look astonishingly good and give the impression of luxury and elegance to the space but also visually expand the room and allow more light. If your bathroom is small, it’s better to choose a smaller mirror, which will be easier to find a place for, easier to maintain, and will provide more privacy. A mirror that is too small will look sad on an empty wall, while one that is too large can dominate and create an uncomfortable cramped space impression.
