14 bathroom mirrors that will brighten up your washroom
Bathroom mirrors
Mirrors have many merits, from their ability to open up a space, their skill in bouncing light around a room, to their double life as wall art. Every room would benefit from a mirror for any one of these reasons. Yet, the room which benefits the most is, of course, the bathroom. In the washroom a mirror truly comes into its own; it is the intersection of practicality and prettiness, where a mirror's function meets its form perfectly.

What type of mirror is best for a bathroom?
To answer this question, you first need to ask yourself what it is you want from your bathroom mirror. If you are into skincare and make up, a tilting freestanding mirror might be best as you can angle it to optimise the view. If it is double-sided, with a magnifying mirror on one side, even better. If you use it to quickly check your appearance in the morning, then a large mirror that you can see into from far away would be ideal. Perhaps your bathroom is a little on the small side?The largest mirror you can go for will really help to open up the space and make it appear bigger, and wall-mounting it is the best choice if the floor area is limited. If you are looking for something to hang in your downstairs loo, a pretty little wall mirror might be the right thing- especially if you have limited light or no windows.
Can you put any mirror in a bathroom?
Some mirrors are made specifically for bathrooms and include lots of technical features including non-fogging glass and built-in lighting, as well as using materials that are resistant to moisture. However, there is nothing to stop you from using just about any mirror in a bathroom as long as you look after it. It goes without saying that keeping windows open while showering or investing in a fan will help to avoid condensation prematurely affecting your bathroom furnishings.
