jerdon-wall-mirrorThe  mirror is the centerpiece of any bathroom. You will want a mirror that’s stylish, easy to clean and functional. Some other features you might be interested in are magnification and an anti fog surface.

How to choose a bathroom mirror is pretty simple when you know what to look for.

  • Size: Choose a mirror that balances the bathroom. You don’t want to have to bob your head like a chicken just to see different parts of your face.  Look for a mirror that is roughly the same length as the bathroom counter top.
  • Style: Find a mirror that fits your bathroom style. If you have an ultra modern décor look for a chrome frame possibly with lighting built into the sides.  For a wood paneled bathroom choose a frame with a more neutral tone frame.
  • Ease of cleaning: You’re going to get spots of soap and water droplets on the mirror. Look for a mirror that has a high quality finish that shines up streak free. You can spend hours trying to clean a lower quality mirror.
  • Magnification: If you have the space in the bathroom it’s a good idea to install a makeup or shaving mirror. These typically will screw into the wall next to the sink. The magnifying mirror is typically on a telescoping arm that you can pull out from the wall. This lets you get a close up look at where you’re shaving or applying lipstick, mascara etc.
  • Anti-fog: If you’re bathroom doesn’t have the greatest ventilation you might want to consider an anti-fog surfaced mirror. It gets old constantly wiping a mirror down with a towel and then hurrying to get everything accomplished before the mirror fogs up again.

How to choose a bathroom mirror doesn’t have to be hard. Just know what features you want in a bathroom mirror, write them down, so that you get exactly what you need when you shop.
