  The mirror is one element of bathroom decor that is necessary and beautiful at the same time. A bathroom mirror provides the usual pluses of making the room look bigger and better-lit, and it helps you to get ready for your day. Choosing the right mirror can mean that your bathroom design looks more pulled-together.
  
  

Contemporary Mirrors

• A contemporary style for the bathroom has a sleek look. The mirror that you choose for your modern bathroom should not be ornate or have a bulky frame. Plain glass on the walls or metallic frames with interesting, modern lights surrounding the glass works well in a contemporary bathroom. To achieve a modern look with your wall mirrors, use two or three small round mirrors above the sink.
  
  

Traditional Styles

• Traditional bathrooms often feature a wood framed mirror or one with a decorative frame. Traditional wrought iron lights on either side of the mirror create a classic look. Choose wood colors that fit the decor of the room, which would include dark wood stains in bathrooms with a traditional style. Choose a rectangular or square shape for the traditional bathroom mirror. Traditional bathroom mirrors may also form the front of a cabinet that provides storage.
  
  

Small Bathrooms

• Mirrors can help a smaller bathroom appear larger, but it is important to not use multiple mirrors, to avoid causing confusion in the room. Mirrors on either side of the walls can be disorienting in a smaller bathroom. You can use more than one mirror, but be aware of the issues that may arise. Mirrors also reflect a greater amount of light into the room, to give it a brighter appearance.
  
  

Full-Length Mirrors

• Full-length mirrors on the walls work well in a modern bathroom design. The larger mirror provides a useful tool for getting dressed and can contribute to a modern, clean appearance in the bathroom.
