Bathroom mirrors the perfect ensemble
White, bright and fabulous bathrooms are all the buzz in
the latest bathroom design craze. Bathrooms splashed with boldly
colored painted walls and patterned ceramic floor tiles adorned
with pristine white pottery bathroom suites create the
perfect drama. To finalize the look as the French would say "la
piece de resistance", the bathroom mirror. Bathroom mirrors are
one of the primary elements of any bathroom design ensemble
simply because they can completely change the look of the
bathroom in the sense of how both natural and artificial light
are reflected.
Exploring the endless options available in bathroom mirrors,
establishing the look one is striving to achieve whether
traditional or contemporary, bathroom mirrors have transitioned
through the modern ages. Victorian style bathrooms were often
built with heavy layers of dark wood types from boxed in baths,
wood framed mirror to wainscoting. Today's traditional styles of
bathroom furnishings are sporting similar design concepts, but
with a much softer look. Bathroom mirrors are lightly capped
with various wood textures and tones and wood bath panels are
added to step up the design elements as an extension of
tradition. Arched mirrors alone or with the addition of wall
sconces for extra lighting can also create a Victorian feel to
your bathroom setting.
Selecting the right bathroom mirror
Selecting the appropriate wall mirror is also determined not
only by the size of your bathroom, but also on the size of the
bathroom vanity, bathroom mirrors should never extend beyond the
vanity as it will create an unbalanced look. The ideal wall
mirror for bathrooms with double basins, are rectangular
wall-to-wall mirrors to disseminate adequate lighting exposing
bathroom accessories as well as the other bathroom furniture,
increasing the presence of the bathroom.
Solid white bathroom suites are a way of adequately diffusing
light for an airy feeling, when the light is reflected off of
white bathroom furnishing the illusion of space is instantly
created. All white pottery bathroom suites give your bathroom a
cohesive look, but more importantly set the stage for the
induction of color, warm hues of reds, blues or greens are now
showing up in the latest bathroom designs, accented with
gallantly solid colored ceramic tiles or tiles with a motif
inlay to tie the look of the bathroom together for an inviting
sanctuary.
Contemporary bathroom mirrors
Wanting to give your bathroom a contemporary personality,
frameless bathroom mirrors with inset lighting deliver all the
potential for an ultra modern ambiance. Achieving a modern look
with circular or square mirrors is the perfect solution for
intricate modern designs. Hanging his/ her matching wall mirrors
with an overhanging light feature increases the amount of light
in the bathroom again not to exceed the length of either the
floor mounted or wall mounted basin furniture, helps to create a
sophisticated modern expression especially for more complex
bathroom remodeling projects. For even more dramatic results,
discovering different uses for wall mirrors can present a unique
look, mirrors with built in lighting are also being installed
inside shower enclosures and in and around the bathing area
creating a shaving area for the males in your home while
furthering the functionality of bathroom mirror in supporting
additional lighting needs. With today's bathroom suppliers carry
a number of bathroom mirror designs, styles and sizes,
scheduling a theme around mirrors and lighting are easily worked
in with other bathroom design components.
