Designing Through the Looking-Glass

When designing bathrooms – there are many objects that take center stage: tubs, toilets, sinks, faucets, lighting. Do people put as much thought into their choice of mirror? They should, and here’s why – try shaving or putting on make-up without one and you could end up looking like The Joker. More seriously, your choice of bathroom mirror should not be an afterthought. Homeowners are no longer relegated to whatever comes with their medicine cabinet. Mirrors now are graceful, elegant, interesting, well-lit and even fog-free. Take a look at some mirrors that caught our eye and decide for yourself which is the fairest.

Marathi Mirror
A part of the Marathi Collection from Hastings Tile & Bath, of vanities with coordinating mirrors, this illuminated mirror and cabinet is doubly useful. The sleek white interior includes two glass shelves, light, and round mirror. The door is cleverly cut to reveal the mirror inside for a solid contemporary look.

Wave Mirror
Reminding us that sometimes it’s the smallest detail that makes the largest impact, the Wave, another mirror from Hastings Tile & Bath provides the best of all worlds. Its gentle curve is enough design to add interest and the attached overhead lamp makes for an unobtrusive and welcoming addition.

Aluminum Series Mirror by Sonia®
This clever, award-winning mirror series comes with a small, round magnifying mirror that is attached by means of a magnet attached to a hidden cord that works as a pendulum – giving it the ability to move almost the entire length of the mirror.

Fog-Free Mirrors
We’ve all been there: you exit the shower only to discover that the bathroom mirror has become foggier than the Golden Gate Bridge at dawn. A foggy mirror can completely negate the object’s usefulness. With its collection of elegantly crafted fog-free mirrors, ThermaSol has solved the foggy mirror conundrum. Suitable for placement in the shower, by the vanity, or anywhere within the bathroom, ThermaSol’s fog-free mirrors are guaranteed to never fog up – even in a completely non-ventilated bathroom.
