The best bathroom mirrors are both practical and stylish. They can add light, colour or texture, and help to create the illusion of a larger bathroom.
With so many different styles to choose from, it pays to do your research and consider what works best in your space. Those with smaller bathrooms may benefit from a compact design featuring hidden storage, while those with bigger bathrooms can enjoy larger mirrors that become a feature piece.

What are the latest trends in bathroom mirrors?
Many bathroom mirrors now come with clever features such as LED lights, sensory technology or shelving, to make them more suitable for use in humid and damp areas.
"Illuminated mirrors have gained popularity in recent years, particularly in contemporary bathroom design, often featuring innovative technologies such as colour-changing controls and built-in heated de-misters," explains Jorge Hernandez, Product and Design Manager at Crosswater.
"[They] are fitted with built-in lighting, adding an additional light source into the bathroom. Often integrated into the mirror frame or around the edges, illuminated mirrors provide improved lighting for grooming along with a stylish element to the bathroom.
De-mister mirrors feature a thin heating element applied to the back of the mirror, designed to prevent the build up of condensation. These are particularly popular in bathrooms as they ensure a clear reflection even in humid or steamy conditions."

For those with larger bathrooms, a large, wall-mounted mirror is a great option to make the most of. It'll of course give you more visibility but it can also add heaps more light into the room, which is a real plus for not only getting ready, but how the room looks and feels.
A classic, pill-shaped mirror will always be on-trend, and this one features opulent brushed brass detailing around the edge — or opt for modern black. It looks much more expensive than it really is and will match any type of decor, though we love it styled with other golden accents.
