Brighten up Your Bathroom Space with Illuminated Bathroom Mirrors

Posted by livinghouseuk on December 8th, 2014

Illumination is an innovation that has improved our quality of life and the function of certain bathroom fittings, such as mirrors. While the concept is not entirely new, innovative ideas have made bathroom mirror illumination more convenient. Illuminated mirrors are ideal for bathrooms that get little to no natural light at all. To have an illuminated mirror in your bathroom can enhance the décor and function of your space.

Back in the day, mirrors were illuminated with big and bulky lights—many of which were too bright and leave unwanted glare. The light often became too hot and caused the area around the mirror to heat up, making it impossible to take your time fixing yourself. Light may also go to the wrong direction, so you have to struggle with a poorly lit reflection. Luckily, contemporary illuminated bathroom mirrors have drastically improved the way we use light the mirrors in our bathrooms.

Illuminated bathroom mirrors are sleek, stylish and functional, so you can groom yourself in style and have extra storage space for your toiletries. There are illuminated bathroom mirrors with a built-in cabinet for essential toiletries like shaving foam and cosmetics. If you have another type of storage space in your bathroom counter, you may consider the illuminated bathroom mirror without a cabinet.

Newer designs in illuminated bathroom mirrors provide much needed lighting to aid in your grooming. Storage can be made in different materials and styles. Walnut or oak are suitable if you want storage that is made of wood, or you can go for sleeker and contemporary options like stainless steel or aluminium. Low energy bulbs are fitted into bathroom mirror cabinets. There are luxury bathroom fitting suppliers that can provide these illuminated bathroom mirrors with shaver sockets or a steam-free mirror for easy viewing.

Mirrors can be supplied in a variety of shapes and designs. Elongated styles provide a more full view while the traditional square or horizontally rectangular mirrors provide a more classic look. Lighting can be installed within the mirror on the sides or all around it. The style of lighting installation may eliminate the possibility of shadows being cast on the mirror. LED lights may be fitted into the bathroom mirror for energy efficiency and less heat production.

Some suppliers can provide magnifying mirrors with the illuminated bathroom mirror, so you can easily apply make-up or shave safely. Built-in clocks and radios are some of the other options that can be built into your illuminated bathroom mirror.
