Your Questions Answered -- All About Bathroom Wall Mirrors
"What Is the Difference between a Framed and an Unframed Bathroom Wall Mirror?" Simply put, a framed bathroom wall mirror comes equipped with either a wooden or metal decorative frame which surrounds the outside edges of your mirror -- both protecting and beautifying it. An unframed mirror, on the other hand possesses no such surrounding frame -- the mirror itself, and only the mirror, is attached to your wall surface. Many people prefer unframed bathroom wall mirrors if they are opting for a modern decor theme, while using a framed bathroom wall mirror will give a more formal, or elegant look, to your bathroom.
"How Can a Bathroom Wall Mirror Impact My Room Decor?" In general, bathroom wall mirrors can improve the appearance of your bathroom in two major ways: By reflecting light they can help to "lighten" a dark-colored bathroom, and secondly they can give the illusion of depth -- which is a great way to make a smaller, hideaway bathroom (such as those commonly found under steps) look larger. "I Don't like the Look of My Mirror -- What Is One Thing I Can Do to Change It?" Here's one way to dramatically change your bathroom decor: Purchase a bathroom wall mirror with tinted glass. You can get these tents in a variety of shades -- blues, pinks, grays, etc. -- although you may have to have your mirror custom manufactured if your local dealer does not carry them. For a ladies or girls bathrooms especially, a tinted bathroom wall mirror in a pink or rose shade looks very feminine. "Someone Mentioned They Installed an Anti-Fog Mirror in Their Bathroom -- What Are They?" One of the most common problems in bathrooms is that wall mirrors will fog up quite a bit due to the steam vapor from sinks and showers. Anti-fog bathroom wall mirrors are designed to eliminate this problem. Anti-fog bathroom wall mirrors usually make use of a heating element -- either embedded into the back of them, or attached to it using some sort of an adhesive backing. The heating element heats the surface of the bathroom wall mirror, driving away the moisture condensation that causes the fogging to occur. Keep in mind that if you install an anti-fog bathroom wall mirror it will need to be connected to an electrical circuit in order to work. "I Need a Wall Mirror/Medicine Cabinet Installed -- Can They Be Mounted into the Wall Surface?" Yes, they can. You can purchase bathroom wall mirror/medicine cabinet units that can be flush-mounted, so that they are even with your wall surface. As these units require you to cut a hole of appropriate size into your wall, I recommend that you arrange for professional installation if you choose this type of bathroom wall mirror. And don't forget that you can also purchase bathroom wall mirrors with attached light fixtures as well. If you are arranging for professional installation, you can also choose to have bathroom wall mirror light fixtures installed and properly wired to your existing room circuitry. |
