10 ways you can transform your bathroom with a mirror
It is unlikely that a mirror is in the first place on someone’s list when a bathroom renovation is planned. But if you choose the right style and the appropriate size, then the room can be incredibly transformed. A mirror, when used correctly in decor, will suit any style, from minimalist to vintage. It is able to reflect, which means it makes the room brighter and visually wider, especially in small baths. And it doesn’t matter at all whether a single mirror is installed or the walls are faced with mirrored panels..
There is also a place to store things

The mirror will in no way make it impossible to install shelves or cabinets in the bathroom where the necessary things will be stored. Pair them with a stylish frameless mirror. If you plan to place a first aid kit in the bathroom, where medicines, lotions, etc. will be located, then it is worth remembering that they should not be accessible to children.
Metal frame

A mirror framed with a curly gilded frame looks charming, especially if the mirror is large and impressive. When choosing the size of the mirror, it is necessary to observe the law of proportions, balance and compatibility of materials. Metals such as gold, bronze and copper are trendy in modern décor, whether it’s an antique gold-framed mirror from a sale or a new mall mirror – anything will do. You can even cover the wooden frame with gilding, you just need to do this very carefully so as not to stain the mirror itself.
Lighting up dark areas

Many designers today prefer walls painted in charcoal shades in decor. This color looks really nice in bathrooms as opposed to traditionally white. If you have an idea to make dark walls in the bathroom, you will need mirrors to soften the dark shade and add light, as do the antique mirrors in gilded frames in the bathroom in the photo. Combined with blue-black walls and antique fixtures, they create a sense of glamor.
Bet on classics

It is hard to think of anything better than the classic style of the original Art Deco mirrors on a chain. They add a bit of eclecticism to the interior and dilute the vintage style. If they were exactly the same, then the effect would increase. In this case, the subtleties and differences in size and shape create a certain piquancy that would be difficult to achieve when buying mirrors in a shopping center. If you do not consider yourself a hunter of antiquity, it does not matter, because the shopping center offers a wide range of mirrors for every taste, and you can also achieve a similar effect..
Group of mirrors

In order for the bathroom to take on a fresh look and visually expand, simply insert mirrored tiles, matched to the size, into the cladding of the tiled walls. Place mirrors at the correct height so that everyone in your family can see their reflection and that the mirrors reflect as much light as possible. You can place mirror tiles around the entire perimeter. Balance the look with neutral tone tiles and wood furnishings for a classic look. Remember to polish your mirrors daily.
Mirror wall

This technique is considered the simplest, but quite effective. Such a wall in the bathroom can not only separate the shower area from the rest of the space, but it can also work wonders with space and light..
Varied shine

You don’t have to limit yourself to mirrors. Reflective surfaces of any shape and texture can become additional decorative elements in the bathroom. Combine mirrors with chrome fixtures and glossy tiles for maximum effect.
The perfect combination

Minimalists will appreciate the simplicity and cleanliness of this bathroom’s lines, including the mirrors that run above the panels and extend to the ceiling. Mirrors are decorators’ best friends when it comes to visually expanding and brightening a room, especially when combined with white. Before installation, ensure the correct placement of the recessed lighting and the functionality of the bathroom.
Installing a mirror in a small room

A mirror is a must in a small room. If there is no room in the bathroom to install panels or entire walls lined with mirrors, you can install a full-length mirror on the door. When installing it on the door, you need to make sure that there is space for the handle, and that guests will definitely understand that these are doors and will not want to go through it..
Round mirrors

Round mirrors look beautiful not only because they seem to float in space, but also because their unframed shape softens the right angles that prevail in the bathroom. Hanging mirrors in this way is a great idea if there is no free wall where you can firmly attach them. In addition, this method is simply unusual, and, therefore, interesting.
And if a stunning panoramic view opens from the window, then in such a bathroom water procedures will last more than one hour.
