Whether homeowners are updating bathrooms or remodeling homes, wall mirrors can dramatically change the appearance and look of rooms. Mirrors help reflect light and add a stylish focal point to bathrooms.

To help select the right mirror style and size for bathrooms, The Oval and Round Mirror Store offers helpful design tips.

1. Measure – Measure the width and height where the mirror will be mounted. Mirrors should be at least four to six inches from the ceiling, no taller than the bathroom vanity and homeowner’s should leave between one to two inches of wall space on each side.
2. Budget – Mirrors range in price. It’s important for homeowners to set a budget, which takes into consideration bathroom remodel expenses. If homeowners place a higher priority on an elegant bathroom mirror, they should reduce the expenses associated with lighting, paint and bathroom fixtures to accommodate budget constraints.
3. Frame – Homeowners should determine the design and style of mirror they prefer. The Oval and Round Mirror Store offers custom frames, which can be customized by style, color, finish and dimensions. Frameless mirrors are also an option for more contemporary bathrooms. Mirror frames can include decorative details, such as beading, scooped silhouettes, classic wood grains or more vintage styles. Consider purchasing a smaller mirror for cosmetics applications or shaving. These types of accessory mirrors often feature extendable arms, allowing them to easily be placed out of reach when not in use.
4. Function – Mirrors’ main functions are to provide reflections. Use mirrors to help add reflections to small spaces.
5. Style – To help achieve a uniform bathroom decor, select a mirror that blends well with current styles. Round mirrors that feature beveled edges look great in contemporary, modern bathrooms. Deep tone, wood framed wall mirrors pair well with more traditional styles.
6. Mounting – Mirrors should be securely placed on the wall. Consider purchasing heavy-duty mirror hardware or opting for mirror or wire brackets.
