Bathroom mirrors are a surprisingly important finishing touch. These accent pieces set the tone for your entire bathroom, providing both function and style to your space. Choosing the right one sounds like it should be pretty straightforward, but there's actually quite a lot of thought that should go into the decision—and the fact that there are so many options on the market doesn't make it any easier.

Shape and size are two of the biggest things to take into account, as both can influence the way your space feels—both to you and your guests. If you're looking to add storage, the options are more varied now than they were a few years ago, giving you more flexibility in how you display products in your bathroom. No matter what you're looking for, there's a bathroom mirror out there that'll complete your space.

It sticks out 5 inches from the wall, giving you just enough room to store a few beauty products or display a knickknack or two.

If you want to give your bathroom a high-end modern vibe, pair this mirror with a vessel sink that features clean lines. A rectangular or circular sink is sure to bump up the contemporary feel of your space.

Dimensions: 48 x 27-inches | Weight: 40 pounds | Shape: Rectangle | Mount Type: Wall | Orientation: Horizontal

What We Like

• Bluetooth compatible

• Built-in LED lighting

• Includes a clock display

What We Don't Like

• Must be hardwired into the wall

If you like jamming out while you get ready in the morning, the MTD Vanities Encore BLU102 is the perfect option for your bathroom. This smart mirror is equipped with Bluetooth-enabled audio speakers, and there are touch-activated buttons on the mirror surface that allow you to adjust the volume, switch songs, and more. It even features a temperature readings and a clock on it's display, too.

The mirror measures 36 x 27 inches, and it has a sleek, streamlined design with a frosted border that lights up via LEDs, allowing for easier makeup application and other detail-oriented tasks. Just keep in mind that the mirror needs to be hardwired into the wall as it serves as a light fixture, too—not just a mirror. While it's certainly expensive, its elegant design makes it a great addition to contemporary powder rooms and it pulls triple duty, doing the job of a mirror, light, and Bluetooth speaker.

Size

You should choose a size that's complementary to your vanity: not too small that it looks awkward, but not too big that it takes over the wall. The size of your bathroom is important too—again, you don't want something that's too bulky and overwhelming, especially if your bathroom is small. On the other hand, mirrors make a room look larger, and too small a mirror won't be helpful if you need it as you get ready in the morning.

Shape

The two most common mirror shapes are rectangular and circular, and your choice will really come down to personal preference. Round mirrors are a bit softer and tend to look more stylish, while angular mirrors create a sleek, modern feel. If you have double vanities, you can either use one long rectangular mirror to create the illusion of more space or install two identical mirrors side by side to create distinct zones for each sink.

Function

If you're short on space in your bathroom, you should look for a mirror with storage, whether that's located behind the mirror or, in a more modern interpretation, actually on or around the mirror. Medicine cabinets abound and many are actually quite stylish, while mirrors with shelves are growing in popularity to keep your favorite products close at hand.

FAQ

• How do you hang mirrors on a wall?

  To hang a mirror, first, you'll want to inspect the back. Does it have one hook? Two hooks? A bracket? A wire? This will help determine what kind of hardware you'll need. Because of the weight, most mirrors require nails to hang them safely and properly. However, some strong adhesive hooks may also work, as long as they're suited to how heavy the mirror is. Once you know what kind of hardware you're using, you'll want to mark out where you want the mirror to hang on your wall, and measure the back to make sure the nails or hook are in the right place. Use a level to ensure the mirror is straight once hung.

• How do you arrange circle mirrors on a wall?

  Circle mirrors can be arranged by themselves, or as a group. Think of them as a gallery wall, use an odd number and create a cluster of different sizes to make a real statement. Try to use mirrors with the same frame style for a cohesive look.

• How do you remove glued mirrors from a wall?

  To remove glued mirrors from a wall, you first want to ensure you have the proper safety tools and equipment. Glass is extremely fragile, so use goggles and gloves to keep from injury in case it breaks. Lay a drop cloth on the floor as well. Start by covering the mirror in heavy-duty packing tape to reduce its likelihood of shattering. Then, use a shimmy or crowbar to gently pry the mirror off the wall, starting from any gap.
