Nothing is as jarring as rolling out of bed in the morning, hauling yourself to the bathroom and flicking on the light switch to see a blurry-eyed reflection in the mirror.
It’s really the wake-up call that nobody asked for and nobody needs. But a tired appearance isn’t always because of a bad night’s sleep or lack of R&R. Sometimes, your bathroom mirror simply isn’t doing you justice.
Buying the right bathroom mirror may not seem like the most scintillating task, but it can really help to spruce up your home.
While they tend to be a pricier option, LED bathroom mirrors are on the rise, thanks to the added bonus of a light that illuminates your reflection at the touch of a button and makes applying makeup an easier, more seamless process. On the other hand, traditional mirrors never go out of style and never encounter tech issues. Some are made with steam-proof glass to save you time wiping away fog when getting ready in a rush. They can be hung without the help of an electrician and suit all bathroom aesthetics, from countryside cottages to modern city boltholes.
Brands such as Seletti are famed for their artistic offerings which feature eye-grabbing screen-printed graphics and metallic frames. These intrigue-bringing details will transform bathrooms that teeter on the minimal side and are in need of some va-va-voom - no paint or wallpaper required.
Squiggly frames, shelves, rattan textures and more are all incorporated into modern mirror designs, meaning buying a bland piece is totally out of the question.
