Choosing a Modern Bathroom Vanity Mirror that Suits Your Space
When choosing a modern bathroom vanity mirror, you should consider both function and proportion. To create a balanced look, you want to think about the size of your mirror in relation to the size of the vanity it will sit above. Typically, modern bathroom vanity mirrors are not wider than the vanity itself and oftentimes is the exact width of the vanity. As long as the mirror is 70-80 percent as wide as your vanity, you can achieve a balanced look without your mirror looking shrunken or out of place. Also consider the people who will be using this mirror, at a maximum, the bathroom vanity mirror should hang a foot above the eyeline of the tallest person in the home for an average of 4 to 7 feet off of the floor. Consider using multiple mirrors if your vanity has multiple sinks or opt for hanging a rectangular mirror horizontally to make the most of your space and reflective properties.
What Else to Think About When Buying Modern Bathroom Mirrors
Another thing to consider when selecting a modern bathroom mirror is the lighting design within your space. Are you looking to only have overhead lighting in the form of pendants or recessed lights? Do you want sconces on either side of your mirror or a vanity bar above the mirror? Your lighting scheme will dictate the size of the mirror you choose and the placement above your vanity. Tight on space? 2Modern offers multiple modern bathroom mirror designs with powerful LED lighting built right in to give you ample glow without the need for additional wall-mounted lighting fixtures. Another thing to consider is the visual impact of the mirror. If you are going for a sleek and chic hotel-like experience, a metallic or crisp white frame will do the trick. For a more traditional space, an ornate mirror with endless detailing makes sense, while a mirror with hidden storage makes the most out of compact spaces.
