A bathroom mirror is more than just a practical necessity — it’s a key part of your interior design. The right mirror can visually expand the space, brighten up the room, and even set the tone for the entire bathroom. But to make it work, it needs to coordinate with your furniture, finishes, and lighting. Here's how to do it right.
1. Match the Style
Start with the overall style of your bathroom — it sets the rules for the mirror’s shape, frame, and color.
-
Modern bathrooms pair well with clean lines and minimalist mirrors — frameless or with slim wooden borders.
-
Boho or farmhouse styles look great with mirrors in carved wooden frames with a soft, hand-rubbed finish.
-
Classic interiors allow for more decorative frames, as long as they don’t overpower the space.
2. Coordinate Colors
The mirror should either complement or contrast with your vanity and wall color — but always stay within the same palette.
-
Wood vanity? Choose a mirror in a similar or slightly darker wood tone.
-
White furniture? A warm wooden frame will add depth and warmth to the space.
-
Dark walls? A light frame will create contrast and balance.

3. Choose the Right Size
A mirror that’s too small or too wide can throw off the balance of the room.
-
Ideally, the mirror should be about the same width as your vanity, or just a bit narrower.
-
Height depends on ceiling height and lighting, but aim for a mirror that visually anchors the vertical space.
4. Think Lighting & Focus
Your mirror can either blend in or become the focal point — it depends on the frame and lighting.
-
For a subtle look, go for clean lines and warm lighting.
-
Want the mirror to stand out? Pick a frame with distinct texture or hand-carved detail.
A great combo: warm-toned wood, soft light, and matte finishes.
5. Don’t Sacrifice Functionality
Your bathroom mirror should be beautiful — and built to last. We seal our wooden frames with a special moisture-resistant finish, so they stay in great shape even in humid environments like bathrooms.
