The mirror performs a vital function in the bathroom, whether you use it when applying make-up or use it when shaving, the bathroom would not be complete without a suitable mirror.

Many people actually choose to have more than one mirror in the bathroom, one for storage purposes, and one so they can get a close up when checking their face for blemishes. Some people also choose to have a large mirror positioned above the bath or on the longest wall to give the feeling of more space.

Mirror cabinets

If you are looking for storage as well as style, a bathroom mirror cabinet might be a good idea. Your bathroom products can be kept out of sight in the cabinet, which also serves as a mirror and attractive feature too.

Some additional features of bathroom mirror cabinets include demisters, LED lighting, internal shaver sockets and mirror overlighting – the choice of options is amazing.

Whether you choose a simple stainless steel mirror cabinet with a simple mirror door or a soft-close double door mirror cabinet with integral LED lighting, you’ll be delighted with the results.

When mounted over your washbasin or on a currently unused wall, a mirror cabinet can give you everything you want from a mirror in the bathroom and so much more.

Choosing a mirror for a room may seem like a difficult task. You’ve usually already chosen the wall space where the mirror will be positioned but have yet to decide on the type of mirror which would prove to be the most suitable.

Mirrors play an important role in a room, as the can give the feeling of more space. So positioning a mirror opposite a window wall can reflect light through the room and make the room feel a lot lighter.

It may be a good idea to complete the redecoration of the room before choosing the mirror. There are a huge variety of mirrors available, some of which work in modern homes and some which are more traditional. If you can try to image what the mirror will look like in situ it can be a good start. Many websites will of course show you what the mirror looks like, but it’s also worth noting down the mirror dimensions and then making a ‘mock-up’ of the mirror size and shape so you can see what it will look like on the actual wall where it will be fitted. This can prove really useful as you’ll want something which will fit into the space neatly and not overpower everything else in the room.

Mirrors are a part of everyone’s life. Whether you use them to aid your personal styling or you use them as a designer accessory, they are here to stay.

Most homes in the UK will feature a mirror, and where once this mirror was a practical item that was used to check what you looked like before you left for work in the morning, mirrors are now used to enhance modern living by adding innovative design into a home.

Modern mirrors often focus more on the design of the mirror rather than the mirror glass that they contain. In fact, it can be difficult to see any reflection at all in some modern mirrors, as they are often more like a piece of wall art than a looking glass.

Pebble mirrors

The glass designs of pebble mirrors focus on the glass resembling the shapes of pebbles. These pebbles of glass are interwoven together to create a striking display. Pebble mirrors are more like a piece of art than a standard mirror and can certainly create a talking point in your living room.

Tray mirrors

The ‘tray’ effect created by the subtle angling of the frame gives tray mirrors their name. A tray mirror has plenty of room for you to look at your reflection, whilst also adding to the design theme of any room where it is situated.

It can be said that everyone’s home says a little about one’s personality or one’s desires or wants. And it thus follows that the furniture and decoration you choose in the home may thus speak volumes about you as a person and the life you live.

Decorative mirrors

A flamboyant decorative mirror with a large frame surround may suggest that you are an outgoing person who likes to show off. It may also be an indication of how you love to control your surroundings and have an interesting and eclectic personality.

Art Deco Mirrors

A person who may choose an Art Deco mirror could be said to appreciate classic style and may have a house which also reflects this. Whilst Art Deco might not be as flashy or flamboyant as other design styles, it does show a uniformity and symmetry which may be reflected in the person’s life.

Modern mirrors

Modern mirrors might not be as showy or eclectic as some other mirror designs, but they do say a lot about the person who chooses them. A modern mirror, whilst being functional and usable, has a simple flair which may reflect the design tendencies of the contemporary homeowner. While some modern mirrors are funky and outgoing, others are more restrained and take a lot of looking into before their personality shines through.
