Illuminated Bathroom Mirrors

Let’s be honest, we’ve all had mornings when we’ve looked in the mirror and not recognised the person looking back at us – whether it’s because of a late night the evening before, or because your bathroom light fixtures just aren’t doing their job. It might just be a good idea to look start looking at installing some illuminated bathroom mirrors or mirror lights to help you make the most of viewing your appearance every day of the week.

Illuminated bathroom mirrors or mirror lights should be as bright as possible, such that the face is able to be illuminated sufficiently without casting any shadows.

Why would I need an illuminated bathroom mirror?

In many modern homes, a number of aspects to do with decorating and fitting out a bathroom can often seem like an after thought. The interior designer or architect can design great lounges and stunning kitchens, but often they try to shoe-horn a bathroom or an ensuite into the tightest of spaces. The end result can often be a poorly lit space, lacking in natural light, particularly if it ends up being an internal bathroom space.

Whatever the reason is for having a poorly lit bathroom, whether its a lack of natural lighting, or a poorly lit space, the gloomiest of bathrooms can usually be transformed by use of a properly illuminated mirror. You’ll be amazed at just how much easier it becomes to shave or apply make-up when you have an illuminated mirror that lets you fully see what you’re doing.

Let there be light!

There are many different types of mirror available, from traditional large bathroom mirrors with a single light above, to sleek modern led lit bathroom mirrors incorporating lighting beneath the glass. With such a variety of choice, it’s impossible to not find one that won’t suit your style.

The mirror unit can incorporate a cabinet, to keep your toiletries hidden away, and some are also available that incorporate a steam free demister feature which stops them from steaming up when you’re running the hot tap or having a shower. Illuminated magnifying bathroom mirrors are another great option for the middle aged person who normally requires reading glasses to help them apply make-up or shave.

Some mirrors will fit flush to the wall, giving a sleek minimalist look, an ideal situation if your bathroom is on the smaller size, and you don’t want to include fixtures, fittings, or cabinetry that might reduce the space, or the size of the room.

Another beneficial feature of illuminating your bathroom mirror, is that you can still have a relaxing bathroom where you can soak and unwind in the tub after a hard day at work, by illuminating only the mirror and leaving the main lighting off.

On Reflection

Transform your room by fitting an illuminated bathroom mirror – they can easily be installed by any competent person who is qualified to work on electrical installations in the bathroom. It will instantly give your ‘smallest-room’ or your ensuite that touch of ‘boutique hotel’ class.

Relaxing bathroom design in the form of a round bath tub

So how do you go about planning out a relaxing bathroom design? And what is it that makes a bathroom relaxing? The mere thought often conjures up pictures of gorgeous deep baths, massaging rain shower-heads, warm fluffy towels and fragrant toiletries. These all contribute to an idyllic relaxing retreat. Not forgetting of course the practicalities, but indulging in a few of the must haves in a bathroom can make all the difference.

Cupboards and vanities are now designed as pieces of furniture and you can now choose a style from the many varieties available that will suit you and your home. If you are renovating, remodeling or building new, think about the temperature’s you want in the bathroom and maybe (if you live a chilly area) consider heated floor tiles which are both luxurious and practical on cold winter mornings.

A heated towel rail is a definite ‘must have’ option in your bathroom. You can purchase them in many different sizes and styles to suit most bathrooms and they are a must to keep your towels dry and warm during the winter season.

If you have the space for a bath then this becomes central to your room. It represents the ultimate in bathroom relaxation and comfort. Imagine those nights when all you need is a good long soak in the tub to ease those tired muscles whilst you lay back and listen to your favourite music.

A modern bathroom interior above is shown with tiled brown walls and a large white basin. This clever design means there is ample storage built into this small bathroom.

A shower with a good shower head can also be therapeutic and can make all the difference in your bathroom, or even two shower heads if you have the space. You may consider a massaging head or you may prefer the large overhead shower heads that make you feel like you are standing outside in the rain – but warm!

The modern design of the bathroom above has been undertaken with the sensation outlook in mind. A modern bath tub along with a very modern pedestal style basin.

If you do have the space, also consider a walk in shower. These can be perfect for two gorgeous shower heads along with twin sinks in the vanity which are also very popular now in the ensuite and family bathrooms. If you are working with a builder and the budget allows it maybe consider custom made storage furniture solutions which of course helps decrease the clutter.

Lighting is crucial in the bathroom to set the right mood and feel. Consider dimmable lighting in certain areas and good task lighting near the mirrors for putting on make-up and shaving. Candles are of course a lovely touch for those special relaxing times.

This look will never date no matter what decade you put it in. The black and white tiles are a classic and suit the stunning old style bath tub.

Think carefully about the types of materials you will use in the bathroom. Timber can give a room a feel of calm and sophistication and tiled walls and floors give a clean crisp look. Muted blues and greens are refreshing in a bathroom and you of course can’t go past the stunning ‘dateless’ black and white bathroom.

If you have views, why not place the bath tub under the window where you can soak up not only the luxurious warmth of your bath but soak up the stunning sunsets. Pure heaven.

Whatever choices you do make, turn your bathroom into your sanctuary. Let it be the place where you can go and relax and pamper yourself. After all, you deserve it.

Bathroom Wash Basins

The above picture shows a fantastic example of newly renovated bathroom wash basins with natural toned wall tiles and a modern faucet and white porcelain vanity bowl sitting on top of a glass counter top with a mahogany timber vanity base.

Bathroom wash basins are available in so many different shapes and styles these days. Some come as pedestal style stand alone and yet the majority of modern washbasins are embedded or set into a vanity style cabinet or counter top.

When it comes to choosing a bathroom vanity, the end choice comes very much down to a personal taste. Some people love the solid look of marble or a composite marble look, others love the darker mahogany wood look and others go for the simplistic colored cabinet look. Whatever, your style or taste, there are literally thousands of styles and material combinations that you can select from. Then to top it all off, there is the bathroom decor to consider. Its imperative that the whole look be considered rather than just the look and style of the bathroom wash basin.

Some people trust their own design instinct when it comes to putting the various combinations together, whilst others may seek the advice of a trained bathroom equipment retailer. The smart choice (if your budget extends this far) is to have a professional bathroom designer work with you. They will take into account your budget, your desires, your style preferences and so on, to come up with a design and combination of basins, vanities, wall tiles, flooring, taps and those unique little decor enhancing touches that will turn your bathroom area into an area of real ‘wow-ness’.
