25 Bathroom Mirror Ideas to Upgrade Your Space

Bathroom Mirror Ideas – There are an endless number of ways to design a bathroom, from creating a layout to choosing colors and fixtures. When it comes to decor, mirrors are a necessity in the bathroom — but that doesn’t mean they have to be basic or lack style.

Whether you’re looking to redecorate your entire bathroom or just want to update your style with an eye-catching piece, we have plenty of bathroom mirror ideas to get you inspired.

Create a look that’s twice as stunning by duplicating the style two (or even three) times. This is most commonly done over double sinks, but multiple mirrors could be used over a long single-sink vanity as an alternative to one large mirror.

1. Go Big

The bathroom is a great place to go big with your mirrors. This is especially true in a bathroom with high ceilings, where a large mirror can help visually fill the space.

In this bathroom designed by Justina Blakeney, the large mirror not only makes the space feel bigger, but also reflects the beautiful wallpaper, doubling its impact.

2. Double It

Double vanities call for double mirrors. This bathroom mirror idea is perfect for large bathrooms, like the one in this modern farmhouse. The two mirrors give the space a polished look and compliment the bath lights.

3. Try One in an Unexpected Shape

Not all mirrors need to be rectangular or oval. Designer Nicole Hollis went with a circular design in this San Francisco bathroom. The shape plays off the curves in the wallpaper and the scalloped edge of the sink.

4. Create a Gallery Wall

The mirror is the star of the show in this bathroom designed by Erin Williamson. A gallery wall of mirrors makes a statement that’s also functional.

The large mirror reflects the gallery wall, making the space feel even bigger. Plus, the wall-to-wall mirror adds a modern touch.

5. Accent Your Other Decor

If you have a lot of decor in your bathroom, you can use a mirror to accent your other pieces. This bathroom designed by Leanne Ford uses a large, round mirror to bring out the black of the sconces and the rug. The mirror also matches the vanity, which makes the space feel cohesive.

6. Add Some Flair

A mirror is a great way to add some flair to your bathroom. This mirror by Chango & Co. has a beautiful brass finish and an interesting shape. The mirror is the focal point of the bathroom and the rest of the room is kept simple.

The sconces are the same color as the mirror, and the vanity has a simple white countertop. The light wood cabinets contrast with the dark tile floor, and the black and white rug adds a pop of pattern.

7. Light It Up

A backlit mirror and a floating vanity create a seamless look in this modern bathroom designed by Arent & Pyke. The long, narrow mirror is perfect for a bathroom with a single sink, and the light wood vanity is a great way to warm up the space.

8. Use a Mirror as Art

Mirrors can be just as much of a statement piece as any other type of wall art. Choose a mirror with a unique shape or a bold frame to draw attention to the wall.

In this bathroom designed by Studio DB, the round mirror complements the rounded sink and gold accents. The blue and white wallpaper adds a touch of pattern to the otherwise simple space.

9. Frame a Mirror in a Bold Color

A frame with a pop of color can add some personality to an otherwise neutral bathroom. This bold blue frame by Gilded Mint is a great way to tie in the blue patterned tile in the floor without having to paint the walls.

For a similar look with less commitment, you can also try a removable vinyl decal.

10. Create a Vintage Look

If you’re going for a vintage look in your bathroom, consider a mirror with an antique frame. “Antique mirrors are a great way to add a vintage aesthetic to your space,” says Helfrich. “The patina on the frame adds texture and charm to the room.”

11. Add a Shelf for More Storage

If you’re looking to add more storage to your bathroom, try hanging a mirror with a built-in shelf. This will give you an extra spot to store your everyday essentials, like toothpaste and lotion, without taking up more wall space.

In this space designed by Studio DB, the extra-long shelf also provides a place to display decorative items and a plant.

12. Try a Mirror With Built-In Storage

This mirror helps you make the most of your space by providing a place to store things like toothbrushes and toothpaste. It’s especially helpful if you don’t have a medicine cabinet in your bathroom.

The round mirror adds softness to the space and pairs perfectly with the green tiles.

13. Match Your Vanity

In this bathroom designed by Alexander DB, the mirror complements the vanity, but the sleek design keeps the space from feeling too matchy-matchy. Pro tip: Hang a mirror just above the sink to make sure it’s at the right height for your entire household.

14. Make It a Statement Piece

Who says a bathroom mirror has to be basic? This stunning marble-framed mirror takes center stage in this modern bathroom by Arent & Pyke. It’s the perfect focal point in a sea of white and gray, and it really pops against the bright wall color.

15. Make It Look Like a Window

A large mirror can make a small bathroom feel like a lot more when you take it all the way up to the ceiling. Here, the designers at Studio McGee turned a wall into a window with a mirror that spans the entire wall. The window-like shape of the mirror, along with the sconces on either side, make the bathroom feel like a sunlit garden.

16. Use a Mirror to Add Some Glam

The crystal sconces, round mirror, and gold faucet in this bathroom make it feel like a luxurious retreat.

The gold frame on the mirror ties in with the faucet and the sconces, while the round shape contrasts with the rest of the rectangular and square shapes in the room.

17. Add a Mirror to a Medicine Cabinet

If you don’t have a lot of space in your bathroom, you can still add a mirror. This medicine cabinet mirror is a great place to keep all of your essentials and it’s sleek enough to fit in even the smallest of spaces.

The best part? You can add a mirror to the inside of the cabinet door, too!

18. Try a Round Mirror

If you’re tired of the same old rectangular mirror, try a round one. You can go as big or as small as you want, but a round mirror will add a softer dimension to your bathroom, especially if you have a lot of square or rectangular shapes in the space.

Here, a brass mirror with a slim shelf takes center stage above the sink.

19. Add a Mirror to Your Closet

If you’re lucky enough to have a walk-in closet, you know how important lighting is. Add a mirror to your closet to reflect light and make the space feel bigger.

20. Put One Above the Tub

This is the perfect example of how a mirror can be a piece of art. The shape and size of the mirror make it the focal point of this bathroom.

Pro tip: Hang a mirror above your bathtub to make the space feel more luxurious.

21. Add a Mirror to Your Shower

This bathroom designed by Studio DB adds a mirror to the shower to make the space feel larger. The mirror also reflects light, which helps brighten up the room.

22. Place One Behind Open Shelving

If you have open shelving in your bathroom, use a mirror to add dimension to the space. This design by Studio McGee features a large, round mirror that’s placed behind the shelving, which creates the illusion that the shelves are floating.

The design of the mirror is simple, but the thick frame adds a touch of elegance to the space.

23. Add a Mirror to Your Vanity

In this bathroom designed by 2LG Studio, the vanity mirror is flanked by two chic, gold sconces. The mirror itself has a simple, oval shape, which plays off the roundness of the sconces to create a balanced look.

The sconces are a great choice for a bathroom since they provide extra light for tasks like putting on makeup or shaving.

24. Go for a Frameless Look

Who says you need a frame for your bathroom mirror? This sleek and simple look is a great way to keep the focus on the mirror’s shape and design.

A frameless mirror works well in a smaller space, like this powder room, to make the room feel larger and more open.

25. Add a Mirror to Your Window

If you’re lucky enough to have a window in your bathroom, you can still add a mirror to the space. It will help reflect light and make the room feel bigger, but it won’t block the window completely.

In this bathroom designed by 2LG Studio, the mirror is the same size as the window, and it’s positioned right in the middle. The result is a space that feels extra bright and open.

Conclusion

The design possibilities are endless, so choose the one that best reflects your style and space.
