Different Styles of Bathroom Mirrors

You spend more time using your bathroom mirror than you do using any other bath fixture in your bathroom, so it makes sense to find a bathroom mirror that suits your preferences and your bathroom. Mirrors for bathrooms come in a variety of different styles, so there's a good chance that there is a mirror out there that could make your bathroom more convenient and attractive. Keep reading to find out more about the different styles of bathroom mirrors.

Bathroom Mirror Styles:

1. Vanity mirror: Vanity bathroom mirrors are the typical wall-mounted bathroom mirrors that you find in most bathrooms. While vanity mirrors aren't particularly unique, they are the largest mirrors for bathrooms that you can find. If you want to have a bathroom mirror that stretches the entire length of your vanity, then a vanity mirror is a good choice.

2. Magnifier mirror: A magnifier mirror probably won't replace your vanity mirror, but it can be a very handy additional bathroom mirror to have. Magnifier mirrors are usually small, round mirrors that can tilt or that even mount on an articulated arm so you can move it around. Magnifying mirrors are particularly useful for applying makeup or shaving since they magnify your face and can move to different angles. Magnifying mirrors work best when you have plenty of room in your bathroom for an additional mirror as well as plenty of light.

3. Medicine cabinet mirror: Medicine cabinets are shallow cabinets that have mirrors for doors, which allows you to store your toothbrush and shaving cream right behind the mirror, saving you a lot of space and keeping oft-used items close at hand. Medicine cabinet mirrors mount in place of vanity mirrors, and when you're tight on room or simply want the convenience of having toiletries on hand without having them clutter up the vanity, a medicine cabinet mirror is a good choice.

4. Tilting mirror: Tilting mirrors are large bathroom mirrors, just like vanity mirrors, but they're mounted on two brackets that allow the mirror to tilt up and down. Tilting mirrors can be very convenient if you have a smaller bathroom or if you have to mount your mirror higher than a typical bathroom mirror, since you can tilt the mirror to be able to see more of your body as you're getting ready for the day. Tilting mirrors also add a touch of elegance to any bathroom.
