12 Beautiful Bathroom Mirror Ideas That Will Instantly Upgrade Your Space

A chic mirror is the easiest way to upgrade your bathroom—no renovation required. Rather than sticking with a basic vanity mirror, consider switching it up. From minimal to ornate, round to rectangular, antique to modern, and everything in between, the bathroom mirror possibilities are endless. Which mirror is the fairest of them all? Scroll for 12 inspiring bathroom mirror ideas.

01 You Can’t Go Wrong with Round

A round mirror is always a good idea—it's a classic. It's even better, though, when mixed with geometric shapes. This bathroom showcases an expert balance of angles and curves, which is pretty much exactly what we're looking for.

02 Keep Everything White

There's no reason the clean, minimal appeal of an all-white interior can't extend to the bathroom space. The white finishes on this bathroom vanity, mirror, and lighting set a simple, relaxing tone. The round mirror provides a shapely contrast to the hexagonal tile and linear wood ceiling patterns, but we're mostly obsessing over the perfect proportion play between all the elements.

03 Twinning Is Winning

When it comes to bathroom mirrors, two is better than one—for the simple reason that multiple people can use them simultaneously. A double-mirror moment like this one is ideal for couples who like to get ready together, but still value a little bit of personal space.

04 Consider Symmetry

What do you call a bathroom that has two vanities with large round mirrors flanking a bathtub? Goals. The symmetry of the entire room, the colors, and the chic pendant above the tub all seem secondary to the mirrors hanging on the wall. Let's be honest: We'd gladly invest in a little extra Windex in order to double down on round mirrors any day of the week.

05 Think Practically

Antique mirrors are not without practical features; this brass mirror incorporates a shelf and hooks to bridge the gap between fashion and function in this bathroom. We know that bathroom storage often comes at a premium, so we're all about a mirror with a little bit of built-in versatility.

06 Go Oval

An oval provides a fresh twist on the round bathroom mirror trend. The slimmer curved shape leaves plenty of room for chic geometric sconces. Consider us sold on this shape.

07 Consider an Octagon

These octagonal floating mirrors add an instant feeling of lightness to this bathroom design, with a balance of shapes and angles that is pure gold. Here's to looking at you.

08 Bring in Brass

We've never met a brass accent we didn't like, and it's no exception in the bathroom. Brass is the easiest ways to glam up a neutral bathroom, so add in a brass mirror to make your space feel a little more luxe.

09 Hang It

It’s sad how many of us settle for contractor-grade mirrors from the bathroom aisle at the local hardware store. By choosing a mirror with a little more personality and getting clever with storage, you’ll elevate your space to something far from basic.

10 Go Wide

If double mirrors aren't for you, choose a mirror that spans the width of your vanity. That way, it'll make an impact on the wall, and if two people are using that vanity at once, you'll both have ample mirror space.

11 Add a Mirror to Built-Ins

If you have built-ins in your bathroom, consider finding a mirror to fit in the space behind shelves. It won't take away wall space (ideal if you're lacking in it), and it creates a cozy alcove for putting on make-up or getting ready.

12 Consider an Arched Style

Arched mirrors can fit within a wide variety of styles. The shape typically compliments solo vanities well and tends to add a level of elegance. Add a touch of gold and watch how the space lights up.
