Recessed Illuminated Mirrors - Illuminated Mirrors

Bathrooms and cloakrooms can benefit from installing a recessed illuminated mirror. The light provided from fluorescent tubes is ideal for anyone paying attention to personal grooming like shaving, applying cosmetics or checking that your hair is sitting stylishly.

A vanity mirror might be just what you need in an en suite or a guest bathroom and being recessed, the sight lines along the walls appear uninterrupted and contribute to a streamlined effect. UK designers are always keen to make the most of space, especially in smaller rooms. If, of course, you have the luxury of abundant space – the impact is stunning and the effect quite filled with drama when reflection bounces light around the room making it feel even larger.

A recessed mirror projects only minimally, approximately 7mm, so the ‘flush’ appearance and effect is useful if it is mounted above a basin with wall mounted taps as it does not intrude on any action to turn them on or off. This type of sleek, unobtrusive fitting would harmonise with a variety of décor styles – minimalist, contemporary or traditional. A plain glass mirror with integral lighting tubes will complement well any other style that is the room.

It will harmonise with chrome, brass or gold finishes and be attractive in amongst wood finishes too, which gives great scope for further decorative ideas later on if you change existing fittings, tiles or wall finishes. This versatility and timelessness means that the money invested in its purchase is well spent and the practical benefits can be long- lived.
