Ambience
Bathroom mirrors are often overlooked aspects of improving your bathroom. But the simple act of replacing your existing one with a larger one or adding a new one will do wonders for the ambience of your bathroom. Along side windows, mirrors are one of the most effective methods of increasing the visual size of your bathroom. Placing a full scale mirror in your bathroom could give it a whole new dimension of space, and can make bathrooms that suffer from a cramped atmosphere feel far more spacious.

Size & Position
The first thing to consider when thinking of adding a new mirror to your bathroom is size. Of course, the larger the mirror, the more spacious the feel, but mirrors can be too big at times. If you are installing a standalone vanity mirror, you might end up making the bathroom seem smaller by filling the precious spare space with the mirror.Therefore, if you have a fairly small bathroom but simply must have a huge mirror, it might be a wise decision to have it mounted. Popular positions for mirrors include above the sink and on spare empty stretches of wall. Of course, you cannot fit a full length mirror above a sink, so consider position as well as size. If you are planning to install a wall mounted mirror yourself, you should be very careful and specific about measurements. If you want guaranteed success with this, it might actually be better to seek professional assistance.

The Mirror
If you already have a standalone mirror you are thinking of using in your bathroom, you should remember that certain mirrors not designed for the damp conditions of bathrooms are liable to begin to lose their clarity in the moist conditions. Buy a mirror specifically designed for bathroom use and you should get many years of clear reflection from it.

Customization
There might seem like little scope for customizing and personalizing mirrors, as any tampering with the mirror itself will impair the clarity of its reflections. However, there is plenty of potential for customization with frames and borders. If you are are thinking of adding a standalone mirror to your bathroom, it would certainly add to your bathroom’s style if you had the frame designed to suit the feel of your bathroom. However, remember that these frames and other such customizations should be able to withstand the damp conditions of your bathroom.
