So the primary focus of a splashback really should be function for sure – it needs to be a smooth surface that can be wiped clean quickly, effectively and bw waterproof. But that’s not to say the splashback shouldn’t look terrific in the process, either. These days they are anything from tiles, glass, acrylic, pressed metal.. even art! :) I'm gauging from the responses so far mirrors 'do' tend to go 'hand in hand' with hand washing. On this particular project it wasn't a necessity and offered an opportunity to try something away from conventional design so to speak and allow for a corner art splashback to take pride of place in an unexpected place. I'm enjoying the comments and the thoughts Houzzers are sharing on this poll. Civic Steel I've been informed more selfies have been taken in that small bathroom than any other place in the home recently which was amusing to find out :) and Jmm1837 I've completed many feature walls and art installations, I may possibly have to consider working 'around' a mirror on future backsplash projects. Thanks also for the compliments re the work. :)

Hi Jodie, as someone already have mentioned above, you can choose from Stainless steel, Glass, Laminex "Metaline" (there is a reflective finish in this range)...Depending on the splashback size you have in your kitchen, these materials come in large-sized panels which means no joints and therefore an easy care...Hope this gives you some options to look at

have a shorter recessed wall cabinet for storage and if necessary have the balance of the space fixed mirror.....you should find something suitable at a fraction of the cost of custom made but strongly suggest that you don't have the vanity hard up against the glass screen (a gap is useful for hanging a hair dryer or hand towel and allows easier access to clean the glass screen) we've been disappointed with custom made vanity and wall cabinets which were more than twice the price and no better quality

Invest in a custom made one from your local glass and glazing specialists - it'll be made to fit the vanity top exactly and the edges of the mirror should also be sealed to prevent corrosion. (which often happens to mirrors from the hardware stores)
