Which mirror for bathroom?
Hello all,
I've been undecided about which mirror to get for my bathroom for a few months now and have just been using a tiny portable mirror as a temporary measure - please help me choose something!
I've mocked up some options - see attached pics. The first option is a triple mirrored cabinet which I thought would unite the toilet and sink and provide storage but my hesitation is it might be a bit imposing and be too much mirror. Option 2 is a large mirror over the sink and maybe a floating shelf coming from the back wall to the toilet painted the same colour as the wall. I'm considering getting a floating cupboard underneath the sink for storage
Any help would be appreciated :)

Comments (10)Hi. I'm a bit confused, have you bought the vanity and are looking to paint it? Is the rest of the bathroom fitted as you could add brass or copper taps for instance with a matching mirror? Accessories will also warm it. I like a little wooden stool in a bathroom which you can add accessories to i.e. A candle, natural sponge, flannel etc which has some texture. A plant on the window sill if you have one and then nice accessories for the sink and either some coloured towels or I like hammam ones. I've found a couple of pics but they may not post as houzz has issues :( These are using deep rich colours which may bring the cabinet towards you a little. A darker top for the vanity would also work...See MoreWhich side of the bathroom to place radiator?
Comments (26)Hello :) We have now plastered and painted first coat of white paint.. now deciding on the type of tiles.. we like the idea of Moroccon style tiles on the floor.. but as the bathroom is pretty narrow.. having a feature on the wall is a bit akward.. Our bathtub will be on the right and toilet under the window (same position as old layout) as all plumbing is already there. Unsure whether to have a concealed cistern toilet unit which can make the area look neater.. But I can't seem to find a good quality looking concealed unit (floor to under window measurement 98cm) width available is 50cm..or should i just go for a standard normal toilet. On the right after the bathtub we will have space for a double vanity sink unit.. opposite wall have a vertical stainless steel radiator... Unsure whether to go for a towel warmer or a vertical radiator? The bathroom will not have underfloor heating. Room dimensions are (length 335cm width 125cm) Any design ideas etc will be appreciated. Thank you X...See MoreWhere to put additional bathroom(s)
Comments (4)Thanks pjbell! My first thought was 'no way, we use bedroom 2 and can't lose it - far too radical'. But then I stopped and looked and actually, that may well be worth considering! All bedrooms are in use - bedroom 2 is our studio/craft room/office. Kids are in the back bedroom and top floor. I've got my heart set on an en-suite and keeping our large bedroom but have been mindful of making the studio too small so was opting for a small shower room. I've been pondering if there is anything we could do to have a larger family bathroom but couldn't see how. This could give a large family bathroom and more luxurious en-suite. The back room is south facing so would be much better for a studio - its worth seeing the size if we split into two bedrooms. I do like the fact that all bedrooms are decent doubles and wouldn't want them much smaller. We are going to be here for the next 10-15 years and will then look to downsize when the kids have flown the nest. This will be the only major work we'll do so although it needs to be right for us, I also want it to be as appealing as possible to the next family. Definitely food for thought - thanks!...See MoreWhich of these would you chose as your bathroom window ?

5 years agoI much prefer the oblong storage cabinet. It sits very nicely depth wise with the shelf underneath. However, that cabinet is to large for the sink. It shouldn't be wider than the sink, so a two door cabinet will work better. Also, I'd have a black edge to it to match the bath or paint the edge the same colour as the wall. If you have a bit of flooring left over, you could colour match some paint and have the edge of the cupboard the same colour as the flooring. - I think i'd go for the green.
