Every bathroom needs at least one mirror. In general, more is better. Extra mirrors can make bathrooms seem bigger by maximizing the available light. They can also make it easier for two (or more) people to get ready at once. Here are the answers to some common questions about bathroom mirrors.
Do you need a special mirror for a bathroom?
You can use regular mirrors in a bathroom as long as you can keep them away from steam. Given the size of most bathrooms, however, it’s usually better to stick with bathroom mirrors.
How high should a mirror be in a bathroom?
If you’re hanging a mirror for decor, then you should typically aim to hang it where it can reflect the most light. If you’re hanging a mirror for practical use, then hang it where you can see your reflection easily.
How can I make my bathroom mirror look better?
Quality bathroom mirrors usually look good as they are. If, however, you’re stuck with a low-grade one, you can try painting the frame or decorating the glass.
What is the best mirror for a bathroom?
The best mirror for a bathroom is the one which best fits your needs, wants and lifestyle. Ideally, you’ll have at least two mirrors, one for lighting and one for practicality. Where space is tight, however, you may have to focus on practicality. The good news is that practical bathroom mirrors can also be very attractive.
Round bathroom mirrors are perfect for walls
As “the smallest room in the house”, bathrooms can feel very “boxy”. They also tend to be filled with square and rectangular shapes from floor tiles to shower cabinets and baths. This means that you generally want to introduce curves where you can and a round wall mirror is an affordable and convenient solution.
