The trendiest bathroom mirrors for a modern home

Mirror, mirror on the wall, which one is the fairest of them all? In 2023, that’s no easy question as there are plenty of options that can reflect your personal style.

No longer playing just a functional role in your daily routine, trendy bathroom mirrors have become a stunning way to expand, brighten, and enhance your space. With the right choice, you’ll see your bathroom in a whole new light. 

Your property inspiration

If you need ideas for your bathroom, you only need to pop in and view this gorgeous five-bedroom house in Camps Bay. One bathroom features marble walls, a large relax-for-hours type bathtub, and the latest fixtures that appeal to contemporary tastes. Mirrors extend from one end of the sink area to the other, making it convenient for couples to share the space in harmony. Conveniently, the closet is on the opposite side of the mirror, allowing one to check if their outfit hits the mark before leaving.

While the home features sizeable rooms, another bathroom featured takes it up a notch. Mirrors extend from the sink to the ceiling, giving the illusion of space. Functioning as a simple reflective wall, it ties in perfectly with the modern decor scheme. Because the mirror is frameless, it creates a fuss-free look in a bathroom dominated by neutral grey walls and sleek white surfaces. This is a space that will truly delight minimalists. 

Make a statement with these bathroom mirrors

Choosing the type of mirror best for you will depend on your personal preferences and bathroom space. However, there are plenty of choices available on the market. Here are some of the trending bathroom mirror ideas that can make an impact:

1. Reflective walls: Ideal for a small bathroom, having a full-length mirrored wall can visually increase the room size. You can place a mirror behind the basin or opt for metallic or glossy tiles that can create this effect. 

2. Circular mirrors: Curved lines are right in style this year. A circular or oval mirror has a soothing effect that can turn your bathroom into a spa experience. 

3. Unique mirrors: Another trendy idea is to find a mirror shape or frame that feels tailored to your space. A visit to a boutique shop or flea market can help you find something that will stand out in your bathroom. 

4. Storage space: Mirrored medicine cupboards are nothing new, but there are some stunning new designs on the market. You can find options that hang flush with the wall or seated against it. The designs also come with smarter interiors to better organise your items. 

5. Lighted mirrors: A mirror illuminated with soft, ambient lighting behind it offers a comforting glow to your space. But, it also makes getting dressed and grooming all the easier. The lighting also adds depth and dimension for a more beautiful bathroom. 

6. Metallic finishes: Matching your mirror to taps and metal handles will create a sense of harmony within your bathroom. Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from mixing metals to create a stunning contrast. 

7. Framed mirrors: While frameless works wonderfully for a minimalist bathroom, opt for framing if you want to spice up an existing bathroom mirror. Framing can help you enlarge a mirror for dramatic effect or give it a more polished appearance. 

8. Dual mirrors: Adding side-by-side mirrors is a fantastic way to make your bathroom feel more symmetrical. Besides being pleasing to the eye, the effect will make your bathroom feel spacious and cut out any conflicts when couples have to share the bathroom space in the morning. 

9. Natural touch: If you’re not a fan of metals for your frame, the classic look of wood is sure to please. Coming in various colours and stains, this brings warmth to your bathroom and even a pleasant scent depending on what you pick. 

10. Quirky hanging: It’s fine to secure your mirror against the wall with bolts and screws. For a twist, you can choose a mirror that can be hung by a rope or wires. This works well if you want to fit a theme whether it’s nautical or industrial.
