Do you long for a bathroom that provides a respite from your hectic everyday life?

By choosing just the right decorative bathroom mirror you can create a bath that combines both function and design.
What is your
design
style?
There is a bathroom wall mirror to fit any design style from sleek and clean contemporary designs to elaborate cut glass or carved wood frames and tradtional styles. You might want to also consider some of these creative bathroom mirror ideas as well.
- The calm Zen like feel of a spa can be duplicated with the use of a simple, frameless mirror that reflects soft colored walls and the flickering light of aromatherapy candles.
- If you desire a
Tuscan or
- A traditional bathroom can benefit from a decorative bathroom mirror that is framed with molding that complements the vanity. A cottage look can be accomplished with white frames or a white oval mirror while a more traditional bath can be created by using a rich wood frame mirror like mahogany or cherry.
- Many people enjoy the cool comfort of a Spanish hacienda with stucco walls and Mexican tile floors in the bathroom. Adding a colorful tile mirror to this space will complete the look.
- A frameless wall
mirror, a shiny chrome framed mirror, even a glossy black framed mirror
can enhance a clean and contemporary bathroom.
For
example, Bassett offers several unusual versions of the standard oval
or rectangular mirror as shown here with this beautiful lighted wrought
iron wall mirror.
- Surprise everyone with a mirrored clock on the bathroom wall or a mirror embellished with butterflies.
The shape of your decorative bathroom mirror is strictly a personal decorating choice. You can choose from square, rectangular, round, oval or a unique organic shape.
Round bathroom mirrors can soften square edges often found in bathrooms and a square shape adds a nice geometric touch that complements tile work. Other options and bathroom mirror ideas include mirrors that come with an arched top or an attached shelf or even lighted wall sconces as pictured above mounted on sides of this beautiful wrought iron wall mirror.
Size and scale are also important issues
to consider before choosing a bathroom wall mirror .
For example, a pedestal sink in a powder room looks lovely accompanied by a framed, oval mirror. A large wooden vanity can “carry” the visual weight of a framed rectangular mirror.
While there is no standard size or height for decorative bathroom mirrors, be sure to choose a size that when hung will allow the average person to see both their head and shoulders
Quick Fixes
There are times when our budget just won’t stretch far enough to do everything we want to in our home. Purchasing a simple and affordable decorative bathroom mirror and embellishing it with molding, mosaic tiles or etching cream is one way to save money and still create that perfect bathroom retreat.
- Purchase molding at your hardware store, stain or paint it to match your bath and apply it to the edges of the bathroom wall mirror. This will give you the look of an expensive, custom mirror without the costs.
- Etching cream is a fun way to change the look of your mirror. Simply tape off your design and follow the instructions on the package. You can etch a “frame” around the edges, add some interest to the corners of the mirror, stencil a vine design for example; whatever your imagination comes up with. Just be sure to leave enough space for the mirror to be functional.
- With the proper tools you can drill a hole directly into the mirror, making it possible to hang candle or electric sconces. You can even hang a piece of artwork to break up a large expanse of mirror that may cover a double vanity.
- Speaking of double vanities, use the same molding idea to create panels on top of your mirror to give the illusion of two mirrors in place of just one.
- Small mosaic tiles can be applied to the edges and act as a frame. This will add instant color and a designer touch to your room. Just be sure the existing mirror can handle the additional weight of the tiles.
A wall mirror is an absolute necessity in any bathroom. Along with the sink and/or vanity, it is often the focal point of the room.
You will find that, with just a bit of thought and creativity, you can turn a very ordinary and functional room into a pleasant and attractive place just by adding an interesting and dynamic decorative bathroom mirror that will not only jazz up the space but will make everyday grooming tasks an absolute pleasure for you and your family .
