Modern Mirrors That Enhance Your Bathroom
Modern bathroom mirrors provide the practicality of seeing your reflection and can also be a stylish way to accessorise your bathroom. Bathroom mirrors can be functional, with smart technologies such as Bluetooth and handy LED lights, but they can also add an elegant stand-out feature to any bathroom.
Modern Bathroom Mirrors
Bathroom mirrors no longer only provide the functionality of seeing your reflection, they offer an aesthetically pleasing design. With styles including round, rectangular and even hexagonal designs, in a variety of finishes from frameless to brushed brass and matt black, a mirror can make a true statement in your bathroom.
If you’re looking for a bathroom mirror that provides more than a stylish design, there are plenty of other features to look out for, such as mirror cabinets, perfect for storing make-up and other bathroom essentials. You’ll also find smart mirror cabinets with Bluetooth capabilities and built-in speakers, ideal for getting you in the mood for a night out or ready to start the day.
Bluetooth Mirror Cabinets
If you love new technology, a Bluetooth mirror cabinet is a great option. Including built-in speakers that can easily be connected to your phone, you can start your day on a high with some upbeat pop classics and end your day listening to something calming to get you relaxed before bed.
These clever mirror cabinets allow you to play your favourite tunes and provide plenty of storage space for your bathroom essentials such as medication and makeup. Some even feature handy LED lighting, perfectly creating direct, bright light when using the mirror.
How Do Bluetooth Mirrors Work
Bluetooth mirrors work by including Bluetooth in the mirror, which can be paired with your smartphone. They will also feature built-in speakers, but make sure to check the quality of the speakers before purchase. The last thing you want is to buy a new Bluetooth mirror and find the speakers aren’t loud enough for your needs. Typically, the more you pay for a Bluetooth mirror the better-quality speakers you’ll get.
Some Bluetooth mirrors even come with built-in controls, allowing you to skip songs and change the volume directly from the mirror itself.
Mirrored Radiators
Mirrored radiators are just what they say on the tin. A radiator with a fitted mirror. They tend to come in vertical styles for practicality. Well, who would want a floor-level horizontal mirror after all?
Including the same heating capabilities as a standard radiator, a mirrored radiator simply includes an additional full-length mirror. Available in a range of sizes and styles, you’re guaranteed to find the best-mirrored radiator for your needs.
Why Get a Mirrored Radiator
A stylish mirrored radiator is the perfect way to enhance the elegance and practicality of your bathroom. While the gorgeous radiator provides plenty of heat to keep your bathroom warm and toasty, the mirror provides the perfect place to check you’re ready for the day before stepping out of the house.
What’s more, if you choose a mirrored radiator this can work just as well as a standard bathroom mirror for tasks such as doing your hair or applying makeup, helping you to save space and create a clutter-free bathroom.
Another wonderful benefit of mirrored radiators is they can be perfect for bouncing light around your bathroom to create an overall brighter and lighter space.

LED Bathroom Mirrors
LED mirrors can create the perfect place for tasks such as shaving or applying makeup. Due to their bright white light, you can see every fine line and imperfection. While this isn’t what everyone might want to see, it does create the perfect lighting for tasks that need precision.
Available in both mains-powered and battery options, you can choose the best LED mirror for your bathroom. Suppose you don’t already have wiring in the form of wall lights or a shaving socket. In that case, you might be better off purchasing a battery-powered LED mirror as this will prevent you from having to have potentially expensive rewiring works carried out in your bathroom.
However, if you’re creating a new bathroom from scratch or already have the necessary cabling in the area where you would like an LED mirror, you might benefit from a mains-powered design.
There are, however, positives and negatives of each option. Keep reading to find out more.
While battery-powered LED mirrors tend to cost less to purchase (starting from around £65) they can cost more in the long run depending on how often you use the lights. Many battery-powered LED mirrors require as many as 8 x AA batteries, and we all know batteries aren’t cheap.
However, battery-powered LED mirrors are the perfect bathroom lighting solution for a power cut. Just think, the powers out but you can still carry on with your morning routine, whether that involves shaving, applying makeup, or doing your hair, even if it’s pitch black everywhere else in the house.
Mains-powered LED bathroom mirrors can be costly to purchase but can be cheaper than a battery-powered alternative in the long run, especially if you’ll be using the mirror regularly. Yes, you might not be able to use the mirror during a power cut but at least you won’t have to worry about batteries running out when you’re in the middle of using the mirror.
