As with many design features
in the home, bathroom
mirrors have two purposes.
Of course, there is the
practical use for personal
grooming ? shaving, makeup
etc.
 But
mirrors can also be a
key part of the design
scheme, especially when
correctly combined with
lighting and shelves. One of
the key matches you should
plan to make in your
bathroom is the pairing
between bathroom mirrors
and lights
above or to the side
of the mirrors.
So, if we can agree that the
mirror is an essential element
in any bathroom and if we can
agree that mirrors can also
contribute to the design
scheme, the next step is to
make our choices. Take some
time to survey your current
bathroom layout and design
then try to imagine different
bathroom mirrors and how
they will be illuminated.
Spend an hour or two looking
at quality photos of bathroom
designs to get some good
ideas.
As you select your mirrors
and decide how to place
them, keep in mind that these
surfaces will reflect both
natural light and man-made
light. Remember this
when
choosing the mirror size and
the shape. Of course, shape
and trim on bathroom mirrors
is most important when you
are matching them with new
fixtures. While it may be
tempting to select these items
separately you may end up
with a more cluttered look
than you bargained for.
Finally, you may want to
include electrical service in
the form of a shaver socket
with your bathroom mirrors. |
