32 Brilliant Bathroom Mirror Ideas Designers Love

The best bathroom mirrors are all about form and function. After all, these bathroom and powder room focal points are spots we often spend a lot of time staring at every day. It's worth investing in a mirror that completes your bathroom design. If you're not sure what type of mirror suits your space, take a look at these designer-approved styles to get inspired — and shop for similar mirrors we love.

This charming powder room by designer Meghan Jay blends classic design with personality. A golden-hued botanical wallpaper adds vintage flair, offset by a crisp white vanity with marble top and elegant hardware. The mirror matches the rooms modern-meets-vintage vibe with an updated, wavy take on classic scallops.

Warm up a cool white-and-marble bathroom by introducing a touch of wood. The mirror above perfectly matches the scale of the vanity and has a honey-hued finish and gorgeous wood grain that lend an organic element to the setting. And thanks to the mirror's thin trim and curved edges, you don't have to compromise on the bathroom's light and airy aesthetic.

Almost any mirror would pop in this color-drenched aqua bathroom (painted Hazel by HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams), but designer Brian Patrick Flynn chose a striped bone inlay mirror that adds a graphic punch — and matches the room's playful feel.

Turn heads in a tiny powder room with a mirror that flirts with curves and loops. By eschewing a to-be-expected square silhouette, this embellished piece feels fun and feminine, and helps soften the sharp lines of the walls and vanity. When you're recreating the look at home, take care to match the frame of your mirror to the wallpaper or tile floor, as the right finish will tie everything together.

Want the light and airy look of a spa bathroom without giving up a solid wood vanity? No problem. Simply opt for fresh white mirrors that match the walls. Now that they're the same color, the pieces in this space blend right into the background and create a clear line of sight from the far wall to the freestanding tub.

Opposites attract, right? Generate visual interest in your bathroom by pairing a vintage tile backsplash with a modern mirror. You can make pieces from totally different eras work well in the same space by giving them some common ground, like the designers did here using golden grout.

The marble vanity top in this powder room is continued as a backsplash and a frame for the built-in mirror. To reflect even more light in the petite space, designer Marie Flanigan added a pair of mirrored sconces.

This polished brass beauty shines in this plaid-clad powder room. The curved edges are reminiscent of the classic quatrefoil style and provide contrast to the crisp lines of the wallpaper.

Pay homage to some of the common items often found in a medicine cabinet with a pill-shaped mirror. This contemporary silhouette adds mod flair to any space, but we particularly like how it contrasts the painterly geometric wallpaper in this bathroom designed by Meredith Owen.

Classic coastal and boho-chic bathrooms have something in common: texture. Shake things up by swapping a smooth metal mirror for one that's crafted from rattan or wicker or carved from acacia wood. All of these materials are au naturel, so they add visual interest and textural appeal.

When the wallpaper is clearly the star of the show, you need a bathroom mirror that will shine in the supporting role. Enter an acrylic mirror with gold corners. Because its trim is completely transparent, an acrylic mirror will showcase your pattern instead of concealing it. At the same time, the gold corners will prevent the piece from getting lost in an energetic look.

Scandinavian style is simple yet so soothing. Transform your bathroom into an airy retreat by pairing a light wood vanity with two minimal mirrors. If you look closely, you'll notice that the squares above actually have slightly rounded edges; you'll want to choose something similiar for your own space, as the curves will keep the design soft and enhance the peaceful environment.

Sometimes less is more. Let your backsplash or mosaic tile floors do the talking with a mirror that's all glass and no trim. Choose a circular shape to round out your vanity, or a square to make the space seem even more sleek and modern.

Add history and character to a new-build bathroom using little more than an antique mirror. In this space, the dark floral wallpaper, tall sconces and glossy vanity are all relatively modern, but quickly feel as though they're from another era when finished off with the thrifted gold mirror.

Play up the nautical theme in a coastal bathroom with a braided or rope-wrapped mirror, like the one in this riverside home in Maryland.

For another take on coastal style, consider a mirror inspired by a ship. While porthole mirrors typically come in metallic finishes like brass and nickel, designer Brian Patrick Flynn selected one with a matte black finish for an updated take on the classic style.

When your bathroom is short on space, a multi-purpose mirror is pretty much essential. Skip the obtrusive medicine cabinet and snag something sleek with a built-in shelf. In this space, the owners can use their mirror to hold candles and plants or even hand soap and hygiene products, in lieu of a traditional vanity.

Sometimes two mirrors are better than one. The designers at Peruri Design Company wanted to elevate the everyday experience in this bathroom by creating a space that is elegant, yet practical. Here, the dressing table gets a large-scale mirror that makes it easy to get ready in the morning, while the smaller vanity mirror reflects the stunning stained glass window on the opposite wall.

This striking blue wallpaper looks like the inside of a geode, and the asymmetrical mirror — ahem — mirrors the organic feel. The result is a modern, earthy space that packs a punch.

Add a touch of antique opulence to your bathroom with an ornate gilt mirror — whether it's an actual antique or a vintage-inspired style. In this trad-leaning bathroom the sleek, contemporary vanity is balanced out by a Baroque-inspired mirror. Designer Jessica Tompane paired it with brass swing-arm library lights as sconces and patterned cement tiles to drive home the luxe aesthetic.

Let your little ones see themselves clearly with a bathroom mirror that's actually at their eye level. An oversized solution like this is perfect for a kids' bathroom because it hangs lower to the floor and catches all the light, making the tight quarters seem miraculously larger and brighter.

If you want to add whimsy to your home — and your bathroom — consider a truly unique mirror, like this storybook stunner. In this cottage bathroom the twig-like frame, vines and woodland creatures look like they come straight from a fairytale forest. In this simple blue-and-white bathroom, the mirror is an instant focal point and plays up the botanical motifs on the window curtain and hand towel.

Get a good look at your outfit of the day and give your bathroom a laid-back sense of style with a full-length leaning mirror. Now that it's not on the wall, this piece can be layered with plants, stools and other accents. It's also easy to set up and move around, should you want to change the space later on.

Stodgy medicine cabinets get replaced by these two-toned beauties; their palette of black and earth tones pulls together the rest of the room's black, gold and wood accents.

Don't let a large window cramp your style. If you can't hang anything directly above your double vanity, simply relocate your mirrors to the side like so. Now that they're facing each other, these twin treasures beautifully reflect the light that's coming in, almost like portholes in a ship, while still giving the owners their own space to get ready in the morning. Plus, their rope trim perfectly complements the bathroom's nautical theme.

Hanging mirrors have such a calming presence, particularly in smaller bathrooms. Help your space feel tranquil by placing one of these over the vanity, where its curves will complement the basin sink and its straps will lift the eye and elongate the setting. You can even use the mirror's frame to inform the color of your sconces, towel rack and fixtures, for maximum cohesion.

Make your modern farmhouse bathroom feel a little more masculine with a pair of handsome, pitch-black mirrors. Thanks to their thick frames and dark hues, these twin reflectors add definition to the wood-paneled walls and hold their own against the solid wood vanity below. To prevent them from overpowering the room, simply offset the mirrors with glass-blown fixtures and light flooring.

The mirror may not be the main event in this bright powder room covered in trellis wallpaper, but it perfectly complements the bold, traditional design. Its ruffled frame is inspired by sea coral — a quirky play on the room’s main hue.

Gold mirrors are virtually guaranteed to make your space look glamorous. Give a dated bathroom a modern makeover by outfitting a double vanity with two gilded, geometric mirrors like so. The oversized octagons would be eye-catching enough on their own, but when paired with the diamond wallpaper, they take the space to a luxe Gatsby level.

If traditional isn't your style, then take cues from this guest bath and transform several mini mirrors into an avant-garde gallery wall. Each of the 18 accent mirrors above were thrifted from a flea market and spray-painted white (except for one!) to create uniformity and cohesion. When stacked, the individual pieces of glass give the illusion of one large mirror. It's easy to execute and budget-friendly, too.

Keep all eyes on your colorful wallpaper or tile backsplash with a tapered mirror like this. Because the piece is so top-heavy, it pulls the eye up and puts the attention on the kaleidoscope of book covers behind it. Two thin brass sconces do their part, too, by being raised slightly higher than eye-level.
