Medicine Cabinet Mirrors
We’ve come full circle on the medicine cabinet mirror. Once thought to be dated, newer designs underwent a modern update, and now they’re a stylish double-duty bathroom accessory. Instead of just a mirror, you get storage for all your essentials. Meaning your skincare products won’t be rolling around in your bathroom vanity drawers anymore. The slim profile shelves keep you organized. It’s easy to read labels on bottles and jars while keeping products front and center and easy to reach.
Choose from two styles, surface or recessed. Surface medicine cabinets hang directly on the wall, while recessed versions require a hole in the drywall to fit the back of the cabinet inside.
Ideas for Shelved Bathroom Mirrors
Open shelving keeps you honest. With no hidden cabinet or drawer to hide clutter, everything you need is on display. Bathroom mirrors with shelves on the front store toiletries within reach. It’s a helpful reminder to moisturize before bed or take a multivitamin when you’re looking right at them. This slim-profile shelf creates room to add a decorative accessory too. If you have a small pedestal sink, this hanging shelf is an ideal spot to place a bud vase or plant for a little ambience. Or use it to stash your dopp kit when you’re washing up.
Ideas for Round Mirrors in the Bathroom
Bathrooms, like kitchens, are business first. Priority is given to quality surfaces and working features. But sometimes it’s nice to add decorative touches to soften harsh geometric shapes and stone surfaces. A round mirror serves a purpose and introduces a soft shape and curved lines into the room. Thanks to its smaller circumference it doesn’t take up too much wall space and can easily fit into smaller bathrooms or powder rooms.
Oval Bathroom Mirrors
A cousin of the round mirror, an oval bathroom mirror offers one surprising benefit. It works well in a household where there’s a difference in height. An oval mirror, because of its shape, allows a taller and shorter person to see their reflection without having drastically vary the height of the mirror. It helps you include a rounded shape with fewer worries about functionality. Plus, they work well in small bathrooms. The frameless options feel modern, while small details like a beveled edge or visible side mounts add character.
Bathroom Mirror with Built-in Lights
Since natural light can be hard to find in the bathroom, let your mirror help brighten up the space. With built-in lights that don’t take up any extra room, double up and add sconces or vanity lights above or on each side of this mirror. Smart LED lighting means that you won’t have to fuss with frequent bulb replacement, while a fog-free feature prevents streaks and an obscured view. With such a bright light, you’ll find fewer reasons to pull out your makeup mirror.
Oversized Bathroom Mirrors
Don’t fuss around with mirror placement. Make use of the entire wall over your vanity and commit to an oversized bathroom mirror. No more jockeying for position in front of it, it lets two people get ready at once. Also, adding a large reflective surface makes a smaller bathroom feel more open. It reflects light around the room and helps if you’re struggling with natural light. Choose from a variety of frame colors and styles to complement the rest of your bathroom décor.
Framed Bathroom Mirrors
Add a more finished look to a simple mirror by choosing a version with a frame. A frame on a bathroom mirror helps you incorporate a touch of style and color, while adding a functional element. A vanity mirror combo runs the risk of looking dated. A separate framed mirror is much easier to swap in and out as your style changes. A dark color frame provides a focal point in a neutral bathroom, while a metallic finish can help tie together the rest of your bathroom fixtures. A framed bathroom mirror keeps the edges protected from desilvering over time.
