A Look at Bathroom Vanity Mirrors
Bathroom Vanity Mirrors are an integral component of the
bathroom vanity. Mirrors are often included in vanity sets. The
most frequently asked question when purchasing a mirror for a
bathroom vanity is: should it be a medicine cabinet as well?
Clearly this depends on where the bathroom is located and how it
will be used. However if a medicine cabinet is required, a home
designer does not have to compromise style or aesthetic lines.
Today's market is filled with options that hide hinges,
fixtures, handles and metal edges. Glass Medicine cabinets, for
example, are an elegant inclusion to any designer's plans. One
popular option in shoreline homes is the rust proof anodized
aluminum interior. A mirror that doubles as a cabinet can be
visually pleasing as well as functional and sturdy.
A distinctive mirror with elegance and charm, either
contemporary or traditional, can be easily acquired regardless
of cost. A fine example of a more traditional mirror might be a
French decorative wall mirror with original gilt finish and
glass. This mirror would include a typical French decoration
with a central maiden's head and ribbon and swag decoration,
c.1870. If you purchase an antique mirror you may want to
replace the glass, as old glass tends to be cloudy and specked.
Antique mirror designs come in a wide array of sizes and shapes
combining artistry and craftsmanship of times past, and adding
warmth, interest and drama to any bathroom vanity.
If a more contemporary or simple approach to decoration is your
goal, then mirrors crafted of hardwoods with few design elements
are an excellent choice to complement the traditional modern
bathroom vanity or the cool contemporary bathroom vanity set.
Frameless mirrors with triple and double doors can add style and
interest over a basic white sink or top. The combination of
glass and chrome adds a modern touch to any bathroom setting.
Bathroom vanity mirrors have the potential to integrate a wide
variety of materials present in other vanity components, such as
unique woods, aluminum, or glass, creating a truly original and
complete bathroom design.
