There are several types of bathroom mirror, but it is possible to categorize them into 3 major types:

• • Portable mirrors : This type of bathroom mirror is super simple and practical, generally used in conjunction with some other type of wall. Because it is small and portable, it does not require installation. You can place it in the sink or wherever you prefer. In addition, they are usually cheaper and often provide image enhancement, being super useful for making up makeup or removing facial hair.
  • Mirrors with cabinets : This type of mirror offers the great advantage of being 2 in 1. With a single model, you can look at and store items. The mirror with cupboard is essential in bathrooms that do not have a sink cabinet, as you can store toothbrushes, dental floss, perfumes, medicines, creams and other personal hygiene items.
  • Simple wall mirrors : These are the simplest and most elegant models. They may or may not come with a frame that matches your decor. Some wall mirrors are fully plated, which leaves them with a more sophisticated and minimalist design. Others can come with LED lights, which add an extra touch to the ambient lighting.

Prices for bathroom mirrors are very varied. Everything will depend on the size, frame, whether it was made to measure or not, etc.

In the main stores that sell bathroom mirrors, you can find small and portable models starting at R $ 20. However, these models are usually a little fragile.

The most sophisticated mirrors can cost up to 5 thousand reais. The price also varies according to other functions. For example, mirrors with cabinets or LED lights can be more expensive.

Purchase criteria: Factors to evaluate in a bathroom mirror

Even knowing so many things about the bathroom mirror, there are still some factors that need to be taken into account when buying:

• Format
• Size
• Decoration
• Weight

Read on to learn how to evaluate each of these items.

Format

Not every mirror is small and rectangular. There are several mirror formats such as round, square, etc. The ideal format for you will depend a lot on your bathroom and decor.

These are some images to give inspiration when choosing the format of your mirror:

• Round mirrors
• Square mirrors
• Rectangular mirrors
• Other format

You need to choose something that harmonizes with the environment, both in material and format.

Size

It is possible to find bathroom mirrors of the most different sizes. From the little ones to those who occupy the entire wall and are made to measure.

Small mirrors are usually good only in small bathrooms, as they can end up being lost and devaluing larger bathrooms. Large mirrors can look good in different types of bathrooms.

In small rooms, it is possible to make an entire wall mirror to look larger and more sophisticated. In larger bathrooms, large mirrors can be placed over the sink and enhance the environment, also helping with lighting.

Decoration

To ensure that the bathroom mirror will not only serve to reflect your image but also to make the environment more beautiful, it is necessary to take into account the decoration.

If you like more chic and sophisticated rooms, the ideal is to acquire a frameless and very large mirror, which will make the room bigger and better lit.

It is also possible to make the bathroom look more “fun” by choosing mirrors with colored frames and / or LED lights. The most charming and romantic can choose a retro frame mirror and complement the decoration with flower pots.

Weight

It may even go unnoticed, but weight can be important for fixing the bathroom mirror.

Very heavy mirrors can be more difficult to hang. Then, analyze your bathroom, the type of mirror, the form of fixation it requires and its weight. Only after reflecting on this, consider whether or not it is suitable for your bathroom.
