10.05.2023 15:53

A bathroom is unthinkable without a mirror, and some even manage to hang several of them. But quantity does not solve the problems.

We will tell you what criteria you need to consider before choosing a mirror for your bathroom. In addition to shape and size, there are other equally important points.

1. Form

In order not to chase fashion trends, you should opt for classic models - round, rectangular or square shape. But it is believed that round models look more harmonious.

2. Size

The dimensions of the area above the sink should serve as a guideline if the mirror will be hanging there, or the footage of the bathroom if you plan to place the canvas in another place.

3. Type of spraying

Not everyone knows that mirrors are afraid of moisture. That is why a special coating is used for the bathroom, which is more resistant to a humid environment. An ordinary mirror in the bathroom will fade very quickly.

There are silver (more resistant to mechanical damage), aluminum (cheaper, but quickly loses its properties), and titanium coating (the most durable).

4. Functionality

This is not just an interior item, but also a functional element. It can be equipped with heating (anti-fogging) or have a magnifying effect, and also have more advanced technological solutions.

5. Backlight

Nowadays, it is no longer a luxury. A backlit mirror in the bathroom is a practical accessory. Useful when applying makeup or shaving.

6. Bathroom interior

The model should be in harmony with the overall concept of the room in terms of shape and so on.

7. Number of mirrors

If the bathroom is no more than 4 meters, then one mirror above the sink will be enough. In other cases, you can already show your imagination and place another canvas, for example, in the shower.
