Miroir de salle de bain : guide de choix
Whether with integrated LED light or polished edge, the mirror is the key point in the choice of any bathroom furniture.
This trick allows you to increase the brightness even in smaller bathrooms, giving the impression of a much larger and more comfortable space.
Dimensions of the bathroom mirror
Whether there is a wall-mounted washbasin or a complete bathroom cabinet in your bathroom, it is of fundamental importance that there is a well-lit mirror in correspondence with your washbasin.
It is essential to choose the correct size bathroom mirror to have a balanced and correct result with respect to the size of the sink cabinet below.
In most cases we can say that the size of the bathroom mirror should not exceed that of the washbasin: it is therefore advisable to choose a mirror of the same width as the underlying cabinet.
To give the sink area a little more movement and enhance the verticality of the bathroom, especially useful in bathrooms with a height of 2.40 m or with false ceilings, you can choose a narrow and tall mirror, with a width smaller than the size of the sink.
There are no precise indications regarding the height of the mirror but it is good to keep in mind that a higher mirror, in addition to giving a better view during use, allows you to give greater depth to the space.
In the event that the bathroom cabinet has a double sink, it is possible to use two mirrors in correspondence with each sink or a single mirror that corresponds to the entire width of the bathroom cabinet.
Types of bathroom mirrors
The best-selling mirrors are certainly those with integrated light: most of the mirrors on the market today are equipped with LED light that can be positioned in the upper part of the mirror, on the sides or in the rear part of the mirror to create an ambient light.
The best lighting for daily make-up and shaving operations is certainly the side one.
A good example is the Koh-I-Noor mirror with lateral LED lighting which, in addition to having a minimal design, ensures good energy savings with consequent reduction of the electricity bill.
Another type in great demand is the mirror cabinet, an excellent space-saving solution for small bathrooms that allows you to have space for storing products and accessories for daily use without taking up too much space in the sink area.
The bathroom mirrors can be equipped with a frame or polished edge: the choice in this case is exclusively dictated by the aesthetic result you want to achieve in your bathroom.
A classic or vintage style bathroom, for example, requires the insertion of a mirror with an important frame, perhaps in wood and worked to enhance the retro effect of your bathroom.
In a modern bathroom, on the other hand, a polished, clean and minimal mirror cannot be missing that can be adapted to any type of design bathroom furniture.
Lights for the bathroom mirrors
How can a bathroom mirror be properly illuminated?
There are mirrors on the market with built-in light which, in the productions of the major mirror brands, is strictly LED in order to have an eye for the environment.
In mirrors with integrated lighting, the light can be in the upper part of the mirror, in the side, in the upper and lower part or in the rear part of the mirror (ambient or diffused light). The latter is usually combined with a second light, for example upper, selectable with a switch.
There are also more technological mirrors equipped with a dimmer directly on the mirror that allows you to adjust the intensity and color of the light as needed.
If you want to opt for a traditional mirror, on the other hand, universal LED lamps are available on the market that can be applied on the upper edge of the mirror, regardless of whether it is a polished edge or with a frame.
The mirror lamps that are positioned in the upper part guarantee good lighting, uniform and without reflections: a comfortable and suitable solution for any type of bathroom.
On Acquaclick.com you can find a good selection of small or large bathroom mirrors depending on the size of the bathroom cabinet on which you will have to install it. LED lamps are also available to apply on your bathroom mirror to have a better comfort of use and a good completion of your mirror.
