How to Choose the Right Bathroom Mirror for Your Bathroom Space
Choosing a mirror for your bathroom is often given little thought, as your gaze is directed at your reflection, rather than the mirror itself. However, a bathroom mirror is more than a vanity feature or a mere fixture. It is a practical design element that complements the look of your space with the use of light and aesthetics.
Size
An ideal mirror should be proportionate to the size of your bathroom. When choosing a mirror size, it is recommended to balance practical needs with design considerations. For example, a large mirror in a small bathroom gives the illusion of a bigger space, whereas smaller mirrors leave more room for shelves and wall decoration.
Frame
Select a mirror frame that suits your bathroom’s overall aesthetic and your design sensibilities. For example, an ornate gold frame complements traditional or vintage decor, while a minimalist frame suits a contemporary look. As an alternative, you can dispense with a frame and install a frameless mirror. This helps to maximise wall space in small bathrooms to contribute to a more open and visually larger appearance.
Shape
Rectangular mirrors
Our rectangular mirrors are available in portrait orientation and are the most common and versatile choice of bathroom mirrors. They are ideal for grooming and naturally align with bathroom tiles and cabinets to enhance symmetry and balance in your bathroom.
Round or Oval Mirrors
Curved mirrors add a soft and elegant look to bathrooms by breaking up the sharp angular lines of wall tiles and cabinetry. Round sinks and arched doorways pair well with round or oval mirrors such as the RS-KY-8003, to create a more harmonious visual flow.
Tall Mirrors
A tall or elongated mirror draws the gaze upward to create the illusion of height in a bathroom with a low ceiling.
Type
Wall Mirrors
Wall mirrors are the most popular type of bathroom mirrors, and come in various shapes, designs, and sizes. They match almost every type of decor, and our range of wall mirrors is available with frames to minimise sharp edges and the likelihood of chipping.
Mirror Cabinets
If you want shelf space and a mirror in a single unit, our mirror cabinet range combines convenient storage with practical organisation. It is also ideal for small bathrooms as the concealed space will keep your vanity or countertop free from clutter.
Lighted Mirrors
Backlit mirrors have LED lights built into them. Unlike traditional mirrors that require a separate light source, lighted mirrors provide even shadow-free illumination. This feature is useful if your bathroom does not receive enough natural light during the day.
Are Lighted Bathroom Mirrors Worth It?
If you want consistent lighting in your bathroom, a lighted bathroom mirror is worth the investment. If your bathroom is compact and you cannot spare room for extra lighting fixtures, a lighted mirror is a two-in-one solution that saves wall or ceiling space. Many lighted mirrors, such as the RS-KY-8002-D600-GD model, now come with an auto-demisting function that gets rid of patches of steam on the glass, saving you the effort of wiping down the mirror. As an additional benefit, LED lights are energy-efficient, and this means extra savings on your electricity bill.
In essence, lighted bathroom mirrors are a streamlined, space-saving upgrade that is an excellent upgrade to your home.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Can I Use a Regular Mirror in My Bathroom?
You can install a regular mirror, although not all mirrors are suitable for bathroom use. Moisture corrodes the aluminium backing of the mirror, leading to dark spots and patches. If the mirror has a wooden frame, it may also be prone to fungal growth.
2. How High Should My Bathroom Mirror Be?
The centre of the mirror should be at eye level, around 140cm to 145cm from the floor, or 20cm above the top of your vanity. Test the height of the mirror by placing it against the wall and standing in front of it. Make sure your face and upper body are visible in the mirror without you needing to hunch or stand on tiptoe.
3. Where Should I Place My Bathroom Mirror?
A bathroom mirror is normally hung or mounted over the sink or vanity. If you want natural lighting, the spot opposite the bathroom window would be the best place for the mirror.
