Choosing a mirror to suit your bathroom or living area

Mirrors in a bathroom or living area reflect light and can add light to dark areas. Larger mirrors add a perception of space.

Size

  • For darker and smaller areas use a large mirror to add light and perception of space.
  • For a general size check try cutting some newspaper to size and hold against the wall
  • For size symmetry, check vanity width, window framing or shower height for alignment.
  • Vertical and horizontal mirrors both give a different effect
  • For a full height mirror measure up from the basin 150mm -200mm & add sufficient height to accommodate all members of your household , normally about 900 – 1000mm is sufficient.


Double basins

For double basins use two individual heated mirrors for a contemporary finish, however if you want to increase natural lighting and the perception of space one long larger mirror is our recommendation.

Style

Choose a mirror from our extensive range to suit your personality, style and existing decor.

  • A bevel edge adds a touch of elegance to any room.
  • Glass or timber frames add colour and depth.
  • Frosted edge mirrors give a bathroom a sleek modern finish.
  • Shaped mirrors add character & balance, especially suited to a pedestal vanity and a bathroom with square lines.
  • For the Villa or for the contemporary bathroom we have a range of modern glass on glass mirrors (sectional bevel range) and traditional mirrors in our Living Design and Furniture brochure.


Choosing the fixing type for your frameless mirror

  • For flush wall fit > holes & domes, orbs or glue fix
  • For a minimal finish > hidden fixings
  • For use with demist pad > hidden fixings, holes & domes, orbs or clips (glue not recommended)


Lighted Mirrors

We recommend vertical side lights for the best light reflection and effect.
