A beautiful house is incomplete without a nicely decorated bathroom. While decorating the bathroom, the mirror should possibly receive far more attention than it does because it is the first place you look after getting into the bathroom. Apart from offering an important function in daily grooming, a bright mirror can add a touch of style and personality to even the plainest bathroom.
Double Vanity Mirrors
A pair of generous mirrors over the sink can really brighten up your bathroom by capturing a bounty of natural light. If you want to bring a crisp, clean look into the bathroom of your urban condo home, choose frameless mirrors. Its clean and minimal design will really suit any modern bathroom besides bathing the interior with natural light. However, framed mirrors will be good choice too if your bathroom is designed after a different style. Wooden frame will inject a dose of country style into your bathroom while cast-iron frame will bring a vintage look.

Consider Technical Details
You have to take into account some technical details in order to choose the right mirror for your bathroom. Consider the sink’s size, the above wall space, and the height of your family members who will use the bathroom. The mirror should be vertically long enough to allow a decent reflection. However, it should not be wider than the vanity or sink. The height of the mirror above the sink should depend on the height of the ceiling.
Freestanding Mirrors
A freestanding mirror will serve your purpose very well, especially if you have a window over the bathroom sink. Such a mirror will keep the window unobstructed and thereby, allowing sunlight and outside view without any fuss. If you are in need of using a large mirror, use a big freestanding mirror behind the vessel sink. These mirrors are great for the bathroom vanity tops that come without mirrors.

Illuminated Mirrors
These mirrors are the best fit for contemporary bathrooms. They can brighten up the interior, as they have lighting fixtures at their back. These mirrors are suitable for darker and smaller bathrooms and are useful for doing tasks like shaving and makeup.
Adding or changing a mirror is easier and cheaper than replacing a sink or toilet. Numerous types of mirrors are there that either can add spark to a clinical space or itself play a second fiddle to dramatic sink.
