A mirror can single-handedly make or break your bathroom. A stylishly designed mirror, or a cunningly placed one, has the power to make your bathroom look bigger, give an airy feel to the room or become the focal point of the whole bathroom. You’ll need to put careful thought into its selections, especially if you wish to light up your bathroom with a mirror.
Mirror- Types
A mirror can come in several different styles. There are a few basic designs, which are summarized below:
1. Bathroom Vanity Mirrors- Attached to a vanity unit, they can be matched with the decor of the rest of your bathroom and really make an effect, while saving wall-space.
2. Oval Bathroom Mirrors- They give a soft, romantic feel to the room. To really appreciate the importance of a mirror, try pairing your oval mirror with a modern decor and you will see the difference. Try overhead lighting with this and you will realize how you can light up your bathroom with a mirror.
3. Framed Bathroom mirrors- They look very good in a room, giving a solid feel to it. A wooden frame will suit a country-themed bathroom well. Mosaic frames are very funky and fun.
4. Round Mirrors- These lend a certain old-world charm to your bathroom, especially with a traditional wooden frame.
5. Frame-less Mirrors- These are the ultimate modern accessory in your bathroom. A frame-less mirror along with inset lights is an extremely effective method of lighting up your bathroom!
How to light up your bathroom with a mirror:
• A large mirror had several uses. Large mirrors are, of course, appropriate for large bathrooms. However, if you place a very large mirror in a very small sized bathroom you will notice that it will miraculously open up your bathroom, make it look airy and lighted, and give the whole place an airy feel. This is the power of a large mirror.
• If you are specifically concerned with the lighting of your bathroom, place an overhead light on you large or medium sized mirror. This will immediately double the amount of light in the room and brighten it up. However, you must consider the shadows this creates as well. If your vanity unit, or cupboard is extremely tall it could come in the way of the light and create many shadows.
• Another trick is to place is lamp or a bulb directly across from the mirror. This will of course work if your mirror is for decorative purposes only, since, otherwise, it could cause a glare in the users eyes.
• Lighted mirrors are getting very popular. A lighted mirror is a mirror that comes with its own lights attached, either above it of as a part of its frame, etc. This is the ideal way to light up your bathroom with a mirror, because the whole unit serves two purposes. It will add an extra amount of light and also adds that zing to your bathroom decor.
