Add character to your bathroom with mirrors

It might seem obvious that most of us will include a mirror somewhere in our bathroom. However, rather than settling for a standard variety – or the first one we come across – consideration of the size and style of mirror can vastly enhance the look of your space.

From bathroom cabinet mirrors to standalone mirrors; those with frames and without; mirrors with inbuilt technology for lighting, music and more … there’s lots of choice when it comes to the modest mirror. In fact, all things considered, this is a product which, thanks to recent innovations, most definitely has more to it than meets the eye.

Let’s take a look at some of the mirrors we have on offer here at Bathshack.

Chic noir for a contemporary look

With a sleek black frame and matt finish, the Noir 600mm Round Black Frame Mirror with Colour Change will add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any bathroom. If you like the modern, minimal look, then this is a great choice, as it’s tastefully stylish and will complement all types of décor.

Fitted with the very latest technology, it comes with a handy touch sensor, so there are no bulky switches, making it even easier to turn the lighting feature on and off – very useful on those dark winter mornings or at night. The mirror also has energy-efficient LED lighting which can change from a warm-white to a cool tone, so you can choose whichever you prefer simply by holding down the touch button. A dimming feature means you can also adjust the brightness according to your taste as well.

With a circular design, the Noir Round Black Frame Mirror will fit most spaces, with the smooth, fluid shape and black matt finish giving the mirror a softer look while still retaining that contemporary feel.

Large landscape statement mirror

If you have a larger bathroom, then you might prefer to make the mirror even more of a statement piece and the Clear-look Avening LED Mirror is ideal if you have wall space to fill. This rectangular-shaped mirror is hung in a landscape format and has a slimline design which means that, while the size creates a characterful statement piece, the minimal bulk ensures that it doesn’t sit out from the wall too much.

Again, this is a mirror with ambient lighting, this time controlled by a special Halo touch sensor and with not one, but three variations to choose from. The perimeter of the mirror will subsequently light up when the sensor is activated and you can simply select at a touch which soft lighting tone you prefer. A magnifying mirror is also inset into the main mirror design, while a charging socket for shaving and electric toothbrushes is also included at the side, for convenience.

This contemporary mirror further comes with an anti-fog demister, which will help keep it clear when the bathroom is being used. From the look of the piece to its functionality, this is a sure-fire way to add instant character to your bathroom that isn’t just surface-level.

The Mia LED Cabinet comes with a light sensor and integrated charging sockets.

Bathroom cabinets are always a useful addition and also come with handy innovations designed to make life easier. For example, the Mia LED Cabinet with Single Door Demister and Shaver has two-sided mirrored doors with integrated LED lighting controlled by a sensor which is activated by simply waving your hand across it.

Charging sockets for shavers, toothbrushes and other gadgets are also included within the cabinet, while the soft-close door keeps noise to a minimum. Two adjustable tempered glass shelves inside give plenty of space for storing toiletries, while a demister pad ensures the mirror won’t fog up when the bathroom is in use.

Rich brass tones for a classic aesthetic

While technology is handy and inbuilt lighting and sensors all bring their own appeal, adding character to your bathroom with a mirror can be achieved in any number of ways. Indeed, if you aren’t a fan of all of the above, then a mirror like the Brushed Brass Plain Frame Mirror might be more your style.

With a simple, elegant brushed brass frame, this mirror will bring character to your space with its rich warm tone and quality feel. The rounded edges of the frame create a softer look, while the rim is deep enough at the sides to really show off that beautiful brass finish.

Also available in a circular format, this is a versatile mirror which will look great combined with a range of décor, providing a contrast with different tones or complementing any other brass furniture or accessories. Mounted portrait-style, the length of the Brushed Brass Plain frame Mirror is long enough to give ample viewing space, without dominating the wall. The beauty of this mirror lies in the simplicity of its aesthetics – with no tech required to enhance its appeal.

Whatever style you choose, there are lots of ways to add character to your bathroom with mirrors. Whether large or small, round or rectangular, with added tech or without, mirrors come in all shapes and sizes and in many different finishes, so you can easily enhance the look of your bathroom.

The addition of any mirror will also instantly create the illusion of more space by adding depth to the room, while it will reflect natural light to create a brighter and airier environment. Simply put, there are many benefits to mirrors beyond the obvious and no matter which one you decide upon, each will add its own unique character to your home.
