Choosing a mirror for your bathroom can add the finishing touch that brings your new look together. You could forgo a mirror, but it might look incomplete then. There are several options to consider when picking out a mirror for your bathroom. An important choice is determining the maximum size your mirror can be. You want it to work with your space, not overwhelm it. You also don’t want the mirror to get swallowed up (visually) from being too small either. Additionally, you need to understand the maximum weight your space can comfortably support. You don’t want to put up a heavy mirror and come back to a hole in the wall and a broken mirror on the floor.
Vanity Mirror
If you are short on space, you can choose to have a vanity mirror. You can pick this option, which sits on the counter, to be able to apply your make-up easier or if you need a magnified view of your face. They can be round, square, and lighted. Usually, these mirrors are double-sided, with one side being a regular mirror and the other side offering a magnified view. By choosing this mirror, you have many options for placement. Yes, you can leave it on the counter, or you can place it on a shelf on the wall. To use it, you can place it anywhere that you need.
Ledge Mirror
Another option for your bathroom is to have a mirror that had a ledge built-in. These types of mirrors can also be called shadow boxes. There is a border around the mirror and a ledge on the bottom. This ledge can be used as storage if you have a smaller bathroom. You can also use these types of mirrors to showcase any decorative items you have. This would be the type of mirror where you would need to make sure the size and weight do not overwhelm your space.
Lighted Mirror
A great addition to your bathroom is to add a lighted mirror. These mirrors can be a variety of sizes, shapes, and types of lighting. There can be individual bulbs around the mirror or lighting tracts. The lighting can make it easier to see if you need a brighter light around your face. Like a ledge mirror, you need to make sure that your space can handle the size and weight of the mirror that you choose.
Another option for your bathroom is to combine mirrors. You can have a vanity mirror and a mirror on the wall as well. You can also have various mirror sizes. The choice is yours.
