Bathroom mirror
Hello Houzzers!
I'd like some advice on a bathroom mirror please! I have a small apartment and have just renovated my bathroom as per the pics below. I'm really happy with how it looks but still need to put in a vanity mirror which is where I'd like some help.
Initially I was going to go for a mirror all the way to the ceiling to make the bathroom look bigger but now that the walls are done, I really love the tiles and am reluctant to hide them! My current idea is to go with a plain square mirror with a bevelled edge the width of the vanity and high enough to see the top of a tall person's head. But I'm also wondering if I should go with more of a "feature". If the latter - what would look good here.
I am so lacking in creativity and have difficulty visualising what something would look like so some advice like style, shape, size and edging (bevelled, flat, etc) would be very welcome.
Many thanks,
Sophie

What sort of lighting fixtures/bulbs should be considered for bathroom
Comments (1)I'm guessing about 60 watt, but there are odd amounts on bulbs these days. No naked bulbs near water. My electrician refused to install my chandelier, and I had to go out and buy a "closed" light fitting as per his instructions. Lighting stores sell certain lights specifically for vanity mirrors, in Aus....See MoreMirror removal

Comments (21)I've just had a similar dilemma trying to decide on how to liven up the boring white bathroom we ended up with thanks to a well known tile supplier mucking up big time. I've hopefully given it some bling by using this ornate frame on some art work. If you don't want a plain edge mirror, you could do something like that?? My frame arrives tomorrow (yay). If you'd like a pic of what it looks like hung on a white wall, feel free to sing out. We ummed and arrred about incorporating a mirrored shaving cabinet into our reno. We did, and it's way more practical than before. Everything is within easy reach. All is hidden and off the benchtop, which makes it neater and so much easier to clean. Most bathroom essentials (like soap, spray cans, toothpaste, razors, lotions etc) fit easily on the 15cm shelves. In fact, the cupboard under the vanity is now virtually empty and there's no kneeling on the floor, digging in the back of it to find stuff! The loo paper fits in a vanity drawer, so it's also out of the way. Bonuses all round. I agree with suggestions to relocate the towel holder (if you can, of course)....See More
8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoYour bathroom looks great. We decided to go for mirrors that hang from the wall and in a timber frame. Bit different for the standard ones supplied by the shower screen people. Also, easier to replace when you want a change. Photos of the ones we used below.
Ps. Tiling the whole wall is a good move. Will allow more options.

PRO8 years agoAll good options. Another choice is to extend the mirror around the corner - can be combined with storage. And don't worry about hiding the tiles - they will be reflected in the mirror!
