How to Choose the Perfect Bathroom Mirror

Layla Sawyer-

It’s hard to imagine a bathroom without a mirror. It helps complete the space, whether it's minimalistic or a beautiful feature. That being said, your mirror needs to fit the room and complement your other design choices to create a balanced bathroom. This guide will walk you through what to think about when choosing the perfect bathroom mirror.

Finding the right bathroom mirror for your space

The right bathroom mirror (https://yabby.com.au/collections/mirrors) can pull together a room, but the wrong one can clash with other features and look out of place. From the layout of your bathroom to lighting, here are some things to think about when choosing your perfect mirror.

Bathroom mirror size and shape

Your bathroom (https://yabby.com.au/collections/bathroom) mirror should open up the space, not make it feel cramped. Measure your bathroom walls so you know the exact amount of space you’re working with. This way, you can figure out what mirror size and shape will be the best fit.

Mirror placement

The wall space you have will also impact your mirror options. You have to think about where would be a good place to put one that works with your vanity and makes sense for the room. Once you know where it’s going, you’ll get an idea of what mirror shapes and sizes would work.

Wall material

Your wall material may also impact what mirror you go for, because mounting a bathroom mirror to tiles is different from plasterboard. Mirrors that carry more weight, such as cabinet mirrors, require different fixings and support, like wall anchors to keep them in place. This may not be a big deal for homeowners, but anyone renting may have to factor this in.

Aesthetic

If you’re going for a certain vibe in your bathroom, you’ll most likely want your mirror to match it. Look around at your other design choices and take note of metal finishes, colours, lines and curves and anything else that might help you choose a mirror that fits in.

Vanity

Your vanity anchors your mirror, so they should feel like a cohesive unit. For a smaller vanity that’s 400–600mm wide, find a mirror that measures between 400–500mm. For a medium-sized vanity that’s 750–900 wide, a 600–800mm mirror is best. And if you’re working with a larger vanity, 1000mm or wider, choose a large mirror to match, or opt for a dual mirror setup.

Lighting

Is your bathroom dimly lit? Mirrors can help! Because they’re so reflective, mirrors bounce light around the space and can make the whole room feel fresher. Bigger mirrors (and particularly two of them) are better if opening up making your bathroom brighter is the end goal.
