Mirrors are indeed inseparable from the bathroom; without them, everything might feel empty, with no way to reflect and check one's face or body. Therefore, you need to install a mirror in the bathroom.

However, installing a bathroom mirror should not be done haphazardly. This can have an impact on the aesthetics of your home decor.

On this occasion, let's discuss the installation of mirrors, including the following:

 

1. Consider the Bathroom's Size

The first step is to consider the size of the bathroom, whether it's in terms of length, width, or height.

By knowing the size of the bathroom, you can position the mirror according to the size you've purchased. Even before buying the mirror, it's a good idea to consider its size.

If the width of the bathroom is not uniform, it's advisable to use a mirror that is approximately 80% the size of the bathroom vanity provided. There's a reason behind this. The purpose is to create the illusion of a narrower mirror.

 

2. Mirrors Need to Be Coated

One crucial point to note is that bathroom mirrors need to be coated. There's a specific reason why bathroom mirrors require coating.

So, every time you use water near the mirror, water splashes might reach the mirror. To reduce the impact of these splashes, the mirror needs to be coated.

You should know that before applying the coating, you should clean the mirror thoroughly with a dry cloth to avoid leaving stubborn stains on the mirror.

 

3. Must Harmonize with Decorative Lighting

It's quite unique that the placement of the mirror must harmonize with the decorative lighting hanging in the bathroom or the decorative lighting that will surround the bathroom mirror.

Aligning the mirror with decorative lighting aims to create a spacious and inviting atmosphere in the room. This way, people will feel comfortable using your bathroom when they visit.

 

4. Consider the Mirror Shape

What should be considered next is the shape of the bathroom mirror to be installed.

Don't make a mistake in choosing the mirror shape as it can affect the aesthetic aspect. Most people prefer square mirrors, but it's a good idea to use a round mirror.

A round mirror itself conveys a sense of softness and warmth. In fact, uniqueness radiates when a round mirror is displayed in the bathroom.

How to install a round mirror? You can hang it using nails and string. Quite easy, isn't it?

 

5. Mirror Frame

Next, something to pay attention to is the frame of the bathroom mirror. The bathroom mirror frame needs attention so that the aesthetic aspect doesn't vanish instantly.

You can choose a mirror with a frame, without a frame, or with a thin frame. Framed mirrors create a rigid and somewhat traditional impression. On the other hand, frameless or thin-framed mirrors create a minimalist impression.

 

6. Pay Attention to Mirror Position

An essential aspect of mirror installation is paying attention to its position.

Ensure that the mirror's installation position is accessible from any area and any angle. This makes it easy to see movement from any side of the mirror.

With this, you will better understand the correct installation of a bathroom mirror.

Those are some essential considerations for installing a bathroom mirror. You can try it now once you have the mirror available.
