Classic mirror ideas for your bathroom

The classics remain so for a reason. Here are some of the top classic mirror ideas for your bathroom.

Go frameless for a minimal look

Minimalists crave simplicity that doesn’t sacrifice style. A frameless mirror can be the perfect balance between utility and form. Go frameless with your bathroom mirror to create a sleek and simple transition above your sink. The mirror becomes part of the design with seemingly no visual disruption from a frame, making it a great choice for minimal aesthetics.

Add some glam with your mirror

Homeowners who crave more pizzazz in their spaces may prefer adding glam to their bathroom mirrors. Metallics, found objects, mosaics, colored glass, and wrought iron frames can add visual intrigue to a dull bathroom. These mirrors make a statement and are a brilliant choice for homeowners with fun wallpapers or renters who want to highlight their personalities without a grand renovation.

Go big for a statement

Large mirrors have been a staple in many bathroom interiors for years. From a design standpoint, a large mirror can make a bathroom appear more spacious. Additionally, larger mirrors are perfect for bathrooms with two sinks or in spaces where couples may be getting ready at the same time in the morning.

If you want something trendier in bathroom design, then you’ll want to check out these decor ideas.

Ornate mirrors are gaining popularity

Ornate and antique mirrors have gained popularity with the rise of cottage and maximalist styles. Interior design is trending away from minimalism, gray tones, and white interiors toward more warmth, eclecticism, and curated looks. Add a vintage ornate mirror to your bathroom to invite more elegance and uniqueness to the space.

Use wall sconces for an antique touch

Rather than opting for overhead lighting as the sole bathroom illumination, many homeowners are making a decor statement with wall sconces on either side of the bathroom mirror. Whether you have a simple or ornate bathroom mirror frame, you can pair some antique wall sconces on either side to add a decorative yet functional touch.

Make your mirror multifunctional in a small space

If you have a small bathroom, you may want to invest in a multifunctional mirror. Mirrors that double as medicine cabinets or that have small shelves at their bases are a must in small spaces. Avoid getting small mirrors, as this will actually cramp your space further. Instead, invest in a larger multipurpose piece with plenty of reflective surface to enlarge the room.

Use tall ceilings if you can

Tall ceilings are the perfect opportunity to install tall bathroom mirrors. This will draw attention upward, further emphasizing the height of your space. Additionally, tall mirrors add a unique and luxurious touch that feels expensive and creative.

Spice up your use of color and texture

If you’ve chosen to paint your bathroom a fun color, experimented with dual-tone walls, or laid patterned wallpaper, you can spice things up a bit more by hanging a mirror with equally exciting color and texture. Woven mirrors with a unique wooden pattern are particularly popular and perfect for nearly any space.

Have a sink by the window? You can still have a mirror

Some homeowners may feel that if their bathroom sink rests in front of a window, then they can’t install a bathroom mirror. However, you can! You just need to be creative. Some homeowners will hang their mirror from the ceiling so that it hangs right in front of the window. Others may opt instead for a standing mirror in the corner.

Match the mirror to the hardware for a cohesive look

If you’re going for a more traditional and cohesive look, match your mirror frame to your bathroom hardware. Do you have silver hardware on your bathroom cabinets? Opt for a silver metallic framed mirror. This will create more flow and unity within your design.

The bathroom mirror may be one of your space’s most frequently looked at items. As such, using your mirror to define your design and make a good impression with your interior is important. Use your bathroom mirror to create a gorgeous focal point you’ll surely enjoy for a long time.

Chic home bar ideas that’ll make you want to throw a party
Enhance your entertaining space by giving your home bar a facelift
Black and white modern at-home bar

Throwing a great party requires a couple of components. Good food, good company, and good drinks are all essentials. A central place to craft and consume those drinks can create an ambiance for the whole party. Creating fun and functional home bars -- or creative mini bars for apartments -- do not have to be such massive projects that only professionals can take on. We have some great DIY ideas for you to create a home bar that you and your guests will love.
Add a vintage touch

Home bars offer the perfect opportunity to uplift your space with a classy vintage touch. Here are a few ideas you can try.
Turn a bookcase into a bar
If you have an old bookcase or set of standalone shelves that are just taking up space and storing clutter, turn it into a bar. The shelves on most bookcases are tall enough to hold most liquor bottles, and the amount of storage space in a bookcase makes it a great place to store all the supplies you’ll need for a fully stocked bar. Store bottles of wine, glasses, mixers, and more on the shelves, and things like bottle openers, corkscrews, knives for cutting fruit, and more in the drawers.
Vintage TV bar
If you have an old box-style TV that you just can’t let go of, turn it into a bar. You can also pick one up for super cheap at a thrift store or secondhand shop. Use the top of the TV to mix drinks and cut fruit for garnishes and use the inside of the TV (where the tube used to be) as storage for your bottles. This idea is great for a basement bar or game-room bar.
Suitcase bar
If you’re not the best do-it-yourselfer, you can still create a fun bar out of vintage items. An old suitcase makes a great place to set up bottles and glasses for a party. Adding a mirror to the inside of the top of the suitcase completes the bar look and feel of the luggage. Put the suitcase on a countertop, and you have an instant bar and conversation piece.
Growler lamp
Once you’ve finished a growler of beer, you can easily turn it into a fun lamp using string lights. This look can also be achieved with old jugs of wine or large liquor bottles. String lights are inexpensive and will easily fit into the vessel of your choice.
