5 bathroom mirror ideas to inspire you

The right bathroom mirror can give your bathroom a real WOW factor. Here are five fantastic ways to use mirror glass:

Make your bathroom seem bigger with a wall-to-wall mirror

Does your bathroom, ensuite or downstairs cloakroom feel a bit cramped? A wall-to-wall mirror above the basin, WC or bath will make all the difference!

By offering an uninterrupted reflection of the whole room, a made to measure wall to wall mirror will give your bathroom a wonderful sense of depth.

What’s more, position the mirror opposite a window or a wall light and it will reflect the light, making the room appear lighter, brighter and enhancing the feeling of spaciousness.

Create a stunning focal point

If you’re interested in the “zoning” approach to interior design (that is, dividing your living space based on how you use it), adding mirrors to key areas in your bathroom can be really effective.

For example, adding a bespoke mirror above the sink will instantly elevate it to more than just the place you wash your hands and brush your teeth – it will become the focal point of the room.

You can enhance the look even further by adding lighting the compliments the style of the mirror – and voila: all eyes on the sink!

Use tinted or antique-effect mirrors for ambience

Fans of relaxing soaks in the tub will love the ambience created by tinted or antique-effect bathroom mirrors.

Whilst these effortlessly chic mirrors reflect ambient light, crucially their hues will also soften it and transform bathroom lighting, which is often harsh and overbright, into something altogether more soothing.

There are a range of tints and antique-effects to choose from, meaning you can find the perfect mirror to match your décor.

Replace tiled or laminate bathroom splashbacks

Glass splashbacks over bathroom sinks are an increasingly popular alternative to traditional tiles or laminates.

Like all glass products, mirrored glass is non-porous and resistant to stains, mould, and mildew.

Easy to clean and maintain, mirrored or painted glass splashbacks are a great alternative to bathroom tiling and a practical choice for bathrooms – and they look fantastic too!

Install statement shelving

Fancy ditching the bathroom cabinet? Try replacing existing storage or utilising unused alcoves with mirrored shelving.

The benefits are two-fold. Firstly, the mirrored glass shelving will enhance the look and feel of your bathroom, whilst being an eyecatching design feature in its own right – the perfect place to showcase your best bathroom products!

Secondly, compared to tiles and laminates, glass is highly durable, long-lasting and less likely to chip, crack, or fade over time: invest in glass or mirrored shelving and you will be enjoying them for years to come.
