Make the bathroom appear larger
A strategically placed large mirror can work wonders for a bathroom, particularly if it's on the smaller side. By capturing and reflecting light, it enhances the space's luminosity and imparts a more open, airy feel.
In bathrooms without a window, a mirror doesn't just compensate for the absence, it can ingeniously simulate one, introducing brightness and depth where they're most needed.

What is the ideal height for hanging a mirror?
A smart guideline for positioning bathroom mirrors is to align the mirror's centre with the eye level of the shortest adult in the home.
If there's a considerable height disparity among adults in the household, aim for a setup where the tallest person can comfortably view their entire face. This ensures that both the shorter and taller individuals can use the mirror with ease, avoiding the inconvenience of bending down or stretching up to see themselves properly.

The shape and size of the mirror
Mirrors come in a myriad of shapes, though most people gravitate towards square or round options for their bathrooms.
A round mirror can be a striking contrast in a bathroom dominated by square tiles, adding a touch of softness to the overall look. Conversely, a rectangular mirror complements and accentuates the linear features of square sinks or elongated tiles.
The mirror's size should consider both the space available and how expansive a reflection you desire. Opting for a mirror that stretches down to the sink may necessitate more frequent cleaning, as it's within easy reach of water splashes from the tap.
Ultimately, your bathroom mirror can be tailored in dimension and form to harmonize with your fixtures and fulfill your unique preferences.

Round mirror in the bathroom
Round mirrors have surged in popularity in bathroom designs, offering a distinctive decorative element.
However, before settling on a round design, it's essential to recognize that they typically offer less reflective surface area compared to their rectangular counterparts. This can be limiting in a family bathroom, where the mirror often serves multiple users at once—be it for brushing teeth, hairstyling, or makeup application.
If you're enamored with the aesthetic of round mirrors, consider opting for a larger diameter to compensate for the reduced surface area. Alternatively, you might reserve the round design for powder rooms or guest bathrooms, where the primary purpose is a quick facial reflection check.

Integrated mirror lighting
A mirror integrated with light panels provides optimal illumination and adds a dynamic lighting touch to the bathroom. This design strikes a balance between functionality and aesthetic appeal. Whether you prefer horizontal or vertical light panels, the choice hinges on the mirror's size and your style preference.
When selecting a mirror with built-in lighting for your bathroom, prioritize one that's certified for damp spaces.
