Carrying Out Construction Work

Posted on: 9 March 2018

A bathroom's just not complete without a mirror. From well-placed standard mirrors to custom-designed works of art, designers and homeowners alike are kicking up a storm making bathroom mirrors work for them.

Mirrors can be used throughout your home to enhance a perception of space and add interest to any room, and nowhere is this more important than in the bathroom. Here are some key design ideas to help you get started with mirrors.

Decorative mirrors

From charming vintage mirrors to ornate Art Deco pieces and homemade creations, nothing personalises your space like a decorative mirror. Vintage and decorative mirrors can be used alone or employed to echo other well-chosen pieces, like a standalone tub.

Contemporary chic

Contemporary design is sometimes criticised as being too cold and bleak, with large expanses of unforgiving materials like concrete and sombre colours. If you've opted for a contemporary feel in your bathroom, you can still generate a feeling of warmth via a backlit mirror or by adding lighting above a standard mirror. You'll maintain your contemporary aesthetic and make your bathroom a welcoming space as well.

Suspended mirrors

Nobody says you have to mount your mirror on the wall. If you'd like to inject a little creativity into your bathroom, think about how your mirrors are presented. From mirrors suspended from the ceiling to propped up on an easel, the ways to include mirrors in your bathroom are limited only by your imagination.

Larger than life

No matter how small, a mirror will work to capture the natural light in your bathroom and reflect it around the room, creating an inviting sense of openness. When you opt for a large mirror, this effect is enhanced. Oversized mirrors will enlarge small and cramped bathrooms and make well-appointed ones even grander.

Dual mirrors

If your bathroom is big enough to host dual sinks, consider doubling your mirrors as well. A well-placed mirror above each sink adds an element of grandeur to any bathroom.

Galleries

Another interesting approach is to use the wall above your vanity to host a gallery of mirrors. Whether sharp-cornered or rounded, adding a few hand-picked mirrors to one wall of the room offers the opportunity to use repeated geometric shapes to enhance the design of your entire bathroom. Why stop at one or two?

Mirrors not only allow you to put on makeup, straighten your hair and get ready for your day, but they also impact your bathroom in a major way, enhancing your design, adding elements of personality and creativity, and enlarging your space. With a great mirror and a little creative flair, the smallest room in the house just got a little bigger.
