The ultimate bathroom essential, no bathing space is complete without a mirror or mirror cabinet to assist with daily routines.
What types of bathroom mirrors does LAVO Bathroom Concepts offer?
LAVO Bathroom Concepts offers a considered range of bathroom mirrors designed to complement different bathroom styles, layouts and vanity configurations. Bathroom mirrors can be an important part of the overall design because they combine everyday functionality with a strong visual presence above the basin or vanity.
The right mirror can help define the character of a bathroom. Depending on the design, a mirror can create a clean and minimalist appearance, introduce softer curves or become a distinctive feature within the room. Different shapes, proportions and finishes can be selected to complement contemporary, classic or more architectural interiors.
When selecting a bathroom mirror, LAVO recommends considering the mirror as part of the complete bathroom rather than as an isolated product. Its size and shape should relate to the basin and vanity, while its position should work with lighting, bathroom accessories and surrounding finishes.
For homeowners, architects and interior designers, this approach makes it easier to create a cohesive bathroom where the mirror contributes to both the practical functionality and overall aesthetic of the space.
How to choose the right bathroom mirror for my vanity?
The mirror should generally be selected in proportion to the vanity, basin and available wall space. There is no single correct size because the ideal dimensions depend on the layout and desired appearance of the bathroom.
For a single basin vanity, one appropriately proportioned mirror can create a balanced focal point above the basin. For a double vanity, you may choose one wide mirror spanning the vanity or two individual mirrors positioned above each basin.
The shape of the mirror is another important consideration. A rectangular mirror can reinforce the clean lines of a contemporary vanity, while a round or curved mirror can introduce contrast and soften an otherwise angular bathroom.
Height should also be considered carefully. The mirror needs to be positioned at a comfortable level for the people using the bathroom while maintaining a visually pleasing relationship with the basin and tap.
It is also worth planning the mirror alongside lighting and accessories. Wall-mounted lights, pendant lights, towel rails and other fittings can affect the available wall space. Considering these elements together can prevent the finished wall from becoming crowded.
LAVO Bathroom Concepts takes a considered approach to bathroom design, helping customers select products that work together rather than simply choosing individual fittings based on appearance.
Are illuminated bathroom mirrors a good choice?
Yes. An illuminated bathroom mirror can provide both practical and aesthetic benefits, particularly around a basin or vanity.
Good lighting is important for everyday tasks such as shaving, applying make-up and general grooming. An illuminated mirror can provide focused light around the face while also contributing to the atmosphere of the bathroom.
However, an illuminated mirror should generally form part of a complete bathroom lighting plan rather than being relied upon as the room’s only light source. Ambient lighting can illuminate the wider space, while task lighting around the vanity provides more focused illumination.
When selecting an illuminated mirror, consider the positioning and quality of the light as well as the size and shape of the mirror itself. The lighting should be appropriate for the activities carried out at the basin and should complement other light sources within the room.
For a contemporary bathroom, an illuminated mirror can also support a minimalist appearance by combining the mirror and lighting functions within one fitting. This can reduce visual clutter and create a clean, streamlined wall above the vanity.
LAVO Bathroom Concepts can help customers consider the mirror, vanity, basin and lighting as interconnected elements of the bathroom design.
What shape bathroom mirror is best for a contemporary bathroom?
The best mirror shape depends on the architecture and design of the bathroom. Rectangular, square, round and curved mirrors can all work effectively in contemporary interiors when they are correctly proportioned.
Rectangular mirrors are particularly versatile and can complement the strong horizontal and vertical lines found in modern vanities, cabinetry and tiles. They can create a structured and architectural appearance.
Round mirrors provide a softer alternative. Their curved outline can contrast with angular cabinetry and sanitaryware, creating a more relaxed and visually interesting bathroom.
Curved or organically shaped mirrors can make a stronger design statement and may be appropriate for interiors where the bathroom is intended to have a more distinctive or individual character.
Rather than choosing a shape simply because it is currently fashionable, consider how the mirror relates to the other forms in the bathroom. The shape of the basin, vanity, bath and tapware can all influence which mirror will feel most appropriate.
LAVO’s design-led approach encourages customers and design professionals to consider these relationships when selecting bathroom products. The objective is to create a cohesive space where the mirror contributes to the overall concept.
Why you should choose LAVO Bathroom Concepts for my bathroom mirror?
LAVO Bathroom Concepts is a specialist bathroom showroom focused on considered bathroom design, quality products and personalised service. This makes it possible to select a bathroom mirror as part of a complete bathroom concept rather than treating it as a standalone accessory.
A mirror may be one of the final products selected for a bathroom, but its dimensions, position and design can affect several other aspects of the project. Lighting, electrical points, wall finishes, basin positioning and bathroom accessories may all need to be coordinated with the mirror.
LAVO works with homeowners as well as architects, interior designers, decorators and other professionals. This experience allows the team to consider the practical and aesthetic requirements of individual bathroom projects.
Visiting the LAVO showroom can also help customers understand how different bathroom products work together. Seeing bathroom products and concepts in person can make it easier to assess proportions, finishes and the relationship between a mirror, vanity, basin and tapware.
Whether you are designing a new bathroom, renovating an existing space or working on a larger residential or commercial project, LAVO can help you approach mirror selection as part of the overall bathroom design.
The result is a bathroom mirror that is not simply the correct size for the wall, but one that contributes to the functionality, proportions and visual character of the complete bathroom.
