Mirror size
The first thing to do is to decide on the size of mirror you want for your treatment area. Size is an important factor to consider when choosing your mirror, as it generally depends on the size of your bathroom and the space available on your walls. A mirror that's too big or too small can make your bathroom look unbalanced. To achieve visual balance, it's best to choose your mirror in relation to the vanity unit you'll be installing. This will enable you to identify the mirror size that best suits your bathroom.
Number of mirrors
How many mirrors? One, two or three? If you have a double washbasin unit, for example, you don't necessarily have to install a mirror that takes up the entire length of your bathroom unit. Installing two mirrors, for example, can be a very effective solution that will add a decorative touch. What's more, it's a pleasant solution, as it allows everyone to have their own space.
Mirror shape
Now comes the choice of shape, one of the most complicated choices when it comes to deciding on the purchase of a mirror. Here it all depends on your tastes and desires. There are many different shapes, including rectangular, square, round, oval and even mirrors with organic shapes. The shape is generally adapted to the look you want to give your bathroom. The rectangular shape is the most common because it adapts to all types of environment and is generally chosen because its shape is practical thanks to its wide angle, which covers a maximum amount of space. It is particularly suitable above a double washbasin.

Integrated lighting and frame
If there's one thing that's essential in a bathroom, it's lighting. Mirrors with integrated lighting provide soft, even light, which comes in very handy in your grooming area. The light is particularly useful when applying make-up or shaving, for example. LED lights are generally chosen for their low energy consumption and long life. The light can also be integrated directly into the mirror in the form of neon or tactile lighting. There are also backlit mirrors that have the particularity of having their lights diffused behind the mirror. This type of mirror is generally used more as ambient lighting.
Framed and unframed mirrors. There are a number of different styles of mirror, both framed and unframed. Framed mirrors offer a more traditional finish and can be matched to the style of your bathroom. Mirror frames come in a range of materials, including wood, metal and synthetic resin, while frameless mirrors have a more modern, streamlined look. If you need storage space, don't hesitate to opt for mirrors with built-in cupboards or shelves, for practical, minimalist storage space. Installing a mirror with a synthetic resin frame can be a very good idea, because the various possibilities offered by solid surface can give you a mirror with a unique design. What's more, solid surface offers an infinite number of creative possibilities thanks to the different techniques available for working with this material.
Options
The steam option is ideal if you don't want to have to wipe down your mirror after every shower or bath. Mirrors equipped with this option have a special coating that prevents condensation from forming on the surface.
So there's a wide range to choose from, so you can select the mirror that best suits your needs. Whether in terms of size, shape, options or aesthetics in general, you have a wide range of possibilities for choosing a mirror that is best suited to your space.

The choice of mirror should take into account location, size, shape, additional functions and the overall style of the bathroom.
