Choosing a Bathroom Mirror

bami1Choosing a Bathroom Mirror
Choosing the right bathroom mirror is like picking the right wine. Too big and it overpowers and dwarfs the vanity. Too small and your bathroom mirror gets lost in the background. Before you make your decision, be sure to consider factors such as shape, size, price and fog resistance. One other very important factor to keep in mind is price. Search online prior to buying because chances are you’ll be able to save quite a bit of money and many online bathroom mirror companies offer free or discounted shipping.
Your bathroom mirror serves as more than just an object of your reflection, and when properly chosen, can enhance the light, texture and perceived space in your bathroom.

Deciding on the shape of mirror is dependent on the size and shape of your vanity or sink. If you’re remodeling or designing a compact bathroom, it may be important to choose a bathroom mirror that includes some sort of storage behind it like the traditional medicine cabinet style mirror. For a more luxurious vanity such as a Tuscan style buffet-turned-vanity, a more ornate framed mirror might be in order. For a contemporary and streamlined bathroom, choose a mirror with simple lines.

Another option in bathroom mirrors is the ability to give the fog resistance. Specially designed heaters are placed behind mirrors to keep them from fogging. These special heaters are activated by the flip of a switch for nearly instant clarity of your image in the mirror. Further choices for bathroom mirrors included lighted and magnified, hanging, standing, framed and unframed.

When your bathroom mirror is properly chosen, it will become one of the focal points of your bathroom as it reflects the light, your image and most of all, your style.
