More and more people are using bathroom mirrors to make small rooms look larger and to also brighten up the space. If you can combine a mirror with a window or skylight, the effect can open up the bathroom and make it lighter and brighter than ever before, giving the illusion of space, even in a small bathroom. Mirrors also come in more shapes and designs than ever before, giving you a wide range of options to work with.

For small spaces that have been left white, try painting one wall an accent colour and hanging a bathroom mirror with a dramatic frame on the opposite wall. For example, a mirror with a dark cherry or black frame opposite a wall painted your favourite shade of blue or green will spread the colour as well as spread some light.

Another option is to use a series of small bathroom mirrors as a design element. This is a particularly good choice in bathrooms with odd angles, such as one added in an attic or basement. The bathroom mirrors can be arranged to fit the room’s outlines, making the wall interesting rather than odd.

Small, swing-out bathroom mirrors can be mounted on a side wall, allowing you to see your back easily and avoid those bad hair days. There are also fog-free bathroom mirrors, allowing men to shave without nicks.

Illuminated bathroom mirrors are functional, but these days they can do far more than just create a reflection. They can add style and the illusion of space to small bathrooms, brighten a room without using any electricity and help you start your day a little easier. What’s more, they’re one of the easiest ways to spruce up a room.
