BATHROOM MIRROR DESIGNS AND TYPES

There are many types of bathroom mirrors, each one suited for a specific purpose. Let's look at some of the most popular bathroom mirrors.

FOLDED MIRROR

A folded corner mirror is a great choice if you are looking for bathroom mirror ideas that will save space. This clever solution maximizes wall space and creates the illusion that your bathroom is larger than it actually is. You can optimize your square footage by pairing a corner mirror and a corner basin.

MIRRORED VANITY

Mirrors in bathrooms serve multiple purposes. A mirrored bathroom vanity unit can help you increase storage space. Mirrors can be used to cover your medicine cabinet, which will give you a place for your makeup and skincare products.

You can choose a suite item such as our Elation Sendai Stone Grey Grain Vanity Unit to store your powder room. It also comes with a wall-mounted mirror for your bathroom.

CONCAVE OR CONVEX MIRRORS

The most popular type of bathroom mirror is the 'plane' mirror. It has a flat surface that reflects images in their true-life proportions. Concave and convex reflectors are slightly different. While both mirrors are spherical, concave mirrors curve inwards while convex mirrors balloon outwards. Concave mirrors are a good choice for bathrooms, as they can create the illusion that the room is larger. A convex mirror, on the other hand, will make the reflected image appear smaller and can be used as an unusual focal point.

A concave bathroom mirror is a great alternative to the traditional one. They can be placed in front of a window to reflect natural light around the bathroom, making it feel larger. They can also be used to magnify your face, which can help with shaving and makeup. A framed concave mirror, although less practical than other mirrors in bathrooms, can be used to highlight a piece of furniture if it is hung above it. This will create an elegant focal point for your room.

FULL-BLEED MIRROR

A full-bleed bathroom mirror is another option. A full-bleed mirror is essentially a frameless style. It's the ideal contemporary bathroom mirror design. A large, floor-to-ceiling mirror will make your bathroom appear larger and more spacious. To give your bathroom more height, add a full-bleed mirror and a modern marble sink to complement it.

BEST BATHROOM MIRROR DESIGN IDEAS

We've already covered the basics of bathroom mirrors, but we have more ideas that will help you to choose specific styles of mirrors. We have included a few examples of our top bathroom mirror ideas along with some of our most popular products.


1. MIRRORS ILLUMINATED

Illuminated bathroom mirrors are a popular choice for bathrooms. They can be found in many styles, shapes and sizes. Illuminated mirrors are especially well-suited for smaller bathrooms that have limited natural light. They can either be equipped with an internal light source or will be fitted with lights in the surround.

A wall mirror illuminated like our RAK Resort Illuminated Mirror makes a great companion for your morning routine. It features a modern glass finish that benefits from soft illumination as well as a demister pads and a socket. This mirror is practical and modern, making it a useful alternative to the traditional bathroom mirror.

Alternately you might consider the RAK Aphrodite Illuminated Recessed Bath Cabinet. This illuminated bathroom vanity mirror optimizes wall space by adding another storage area. It also includes a demister and a shaving socket.


2. LED MIRRORS

Our illuminated bathroom mirrors also feature LED mirrors that provide the necessary lighting for bathroom mirrors. These bathroom mirrors look great and are energy-efficient. They are fitted with small LED bulbs that provide a functional solution for powder room mirror designs.

Because LED bathroom mirrors are so simple, they come in many sizes and shapes. From rectangular to circular, you can find the right mirror for your bathroom. The Sensio Isla is a battery-powered mirror that's both functional and attractive. This mirror is easy to install because it's powered by a battery and doesn't require wiring. Sensio also offers the Orla mirror, which is a round-shaped version of the mirror. The slimline effect and delicate circular bulbs make it a modern focal point that exudes practicality.


3. HEATED BATHROOM MIRRORS

These heated mirrors rank high among the most innovative bathroom mirror designs. The heated mirror is ideal for bathrooms with bathtubs or shower enclosures because it eliminates the problem of a steamed-up, smear-covered reflection. These mirrors often have LED lighting, which makes them most functional.

We have plenty of compact heated mirrors for smaller bathrooms. The RAK Sagittarius heated led cabinet measures just 500 x 700mm, and provides additional storage space for your toiletries.


4. ROUND MIRRORS

Our round bathroom mirrors will complement the geometric lines found in a bathrooms suite. Round mirrors can be used to add a soft curve to your feature wall. They also look great with patterned shower curtains, which will give your space a more consistent style. You can choose from a variety of oval, porthole and circular-shaped mirrors that you can use to inspire the rest of your bathroom's interior design.

Croydex Hampstead mirror is an example. It features a round shape and can be used in a modern bathroom. The chrome tilt brackets can match your bathroom sink taps, adding continuity to your suite items.

Croydex also has the Meadley round mirror. This decorative mosaic tile mirror frame can be used with many design ideas. The surround is reflective, so more light can be directed around the room than a traditional frame.

5. MAGNIFYING MIRRORS

An magnifying mirror in your bathroom is essential for simplifying your daily life. Magnifying mirrors offer a magnified reflective image that can be used for shaving, eyebrow plucking, and makeup application. Magnifying mirrors often have an extendable arm that allows you to position it precisely as needed. This is illustrated well by the HiB Rossi mirror. The circular mirror has a plain mirror and a 3x magnification. It is located on an extendable arm that is long enough to reach.

You can also opt for a regular bathroom mirror with an integrated magnifying section to get a subtler magnification. Frontline Kilamore mirror features a contemporary design that incorporates a 3x magnifying circular mirror within its rectangular frame. This bathroom mirror has an enhanced on/off motion sensor and is illuminated around its full-frame.

FAQ

Let's take a look at some bathroom mirror options. Now let's get to the important questions about choosing the right mirror for you.

What is the best mirror for a bathroom?

The best bathroom mirror ideas will vary depending on the style of your bathroom and the dimensions of your bathroom. A heated bathroom wall mirror can be a great addition to any bathroom. It won't get steamy and needs less maintenance than regular mirrors. A heated bathroom mirror can include many of the features that we have already discussed.

First, you can choose a cabinet with heated mirrors on the outer panels. This will provide storage and still have all the useful features of a heated mirror. For example, take the RAK Pisces cabinet. This triple-set of cabinets can be used to store your toiletries. It also doubles as a large heated mirror.

If illuminated mirrors appeal to you, you can opt for heated mirrors with integrated lighting. Sensio Glimmer mirrors are heated and illuminated. They include cool white LED lights that wrap around the frame of the mirror. You can also adjust the brightness to your liking with an ambient dimming option. Sensio's Glimmer mirror is ideal for bathroom vanity mirrors. It can be hung in portrait or landscape orientation to maximize wall space.

WHAT SIZE SHOULD A MIRROR BE IN A BATHROOM?

We recommend that you install a wall mirror measuring a few centimetres smaller than your bathroom vanity sink. Your ceiling height and your height will determine the height of your mirror. You want your bathroom mirror functional, so consider your eye level.

The size of your bathroom mirror will also depend on how personal you are with home decor. It's not a good idea to have a huge bathroom with marble floors and large suites and then fit a small, out-of-place mirror in the wall. To ensure continuity in your space, make sure your bathroom mirrors are proportionate to the rest of your bathroom.

WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE MY BATHROOM MIRROR LOOK BETTER?

You have many design options that can enhance the look of your bathroom mirror. After you've chosen the bathroom mirror that suits your needs, make sure to clean it every week. This will ensure that it has a clear and crisp reflection. To enhance the appearance of your bathroom mirror, you can create a feature wall around it. For a vintage look, even the most basic vanity mirrors can be made more attractive by hanging frames pictures around them. You could place a vanity mirror above your basin, with a complex pattern of mosaic tiles that doubles up as a water-resistant surround around your sink.
