It’s just a mirror, right? Well, not necessarily! Gone are the days of bathrooms simply being a functional space for your daily ablutions. These days they are considered somewhere to spend time in, to relax in and enjoy. Your choice of bathroom mirror can narrate a clear design aesthetic, create the illusion of a large space, and - with their integrated technologies - can enhance your everyday bathing experience.

Here are some of Bath & More’s key factors for choosing a mirror that reflects your style…

Size

Consider the scale of your room. Large mirrors bound the light around and can give the illusion of a larger space but will look clumsy if they are out of scale with the rest of the features. If you have a double basin vanity unit, would you prefer a mirror over each basin or does one larger mirror appeal to you more.

Shape

If you enjoy a sleek, modern look you might find yourself drawn to square or rectangular mirrors. Or, for a slightly softer appearance we also have these available with rounded corners such as the Tavistock ‘Evade’ Illuminated Bathroom Mirror or the Sensio ‘Reagan’ Backlit Illuminated Mirror with Shaving Socket (both shown below).

If your bathing space is dominated by angular shapes, consider breaking them up with a round mirror to add balance and interest. Some recent additions include the Sensio Ivy Illuminated Hanging Mirror and Tavistock’s ‘Aster’ Illuminated bathroom mirror which also comes in a contemporary pill-shape.

Finish

Many of the illuminated mirrors in our range imbue quiet luxury, framed only by the presence of light. However, if you want to add more contrast to your scheme, framed options are also available and in a variety of finishes. Black framed mirrors work well both in modern and industrial schemes whilst brass and chrome are typical of classical ones.

Function

Let’s not forget that a bathroom mirror can have both form and function and the ever-innovative bathroom product manufacturers don’t disappoint! From the basic warmth changing illumination and shaver socket integration to Bluetooth connectivity and device charging, mirrors have a lot more to offer these days than your reflection. Two of our favourite feature-packed mirrors are shown below.

By considering both form and function, you can choose a bathroom mirror that perfectly complements your style and enhances your daily routine. So browse our bathroom mirrors and reflect on your options to find that perfect mirror to make your bathroom shine!
