Even the very notion of lighting being integrated directly into a bathroom mirror might seem a curious concept to many of us. You may have long been accustomed to bathroom mirrors and lights being physically separate entities in your home.
Various benefits can arise for the user, however, from the installation of a dedicated illuminated mirror in a bathroom.
These advantages can include the evenness and consistency of the lighting – which can mean shadows aren’t so harsh, and the user can more clearly see their face from all angles.
All of this, in turn, can enable the user to more easily carry out all manner of practical and grooming tasks, such as shaving and applying makeup.
4 types of lighting on a bathroom mirror
However, it is one thing to know that bathroom mirrors and lights can be almost seamlessly unified into a single product, and quite another thing to know what forms the illumination of a bathroom mirror can take.
Below, we have explained some of those forms. These options are all well-represented among the illuminated bathroom mirrors we can have handcrafted in line with your most specific demands and needs.
As the name indicates, this type of bathroom mirror illumination takes the form of an LED light border around the mirror front’s perimeter.
The careful placement of lights around the edge of a mirror helps provide a clean and even light, thereby giving the mirror user a clear view. Moreover, this type of bathroom mirror lighting casts a glow on the wall behind, helping to improve the space’s aesthetics.
- Backlighting
Again, this form of lighting on a bathroom mirror may appear to have a self-explanatory name; the lights are installed on the reverse of the mirror’s edges, which allows for a pleasingly diffuse glow to be created.
This option, too, can bring significant aesthetic benefits to a bathroom, whether one opts for a frameless or framed look for the mirror.
- Dot pattern lighting
Some people who are seeking to invest in a lit-up bathroom mirror for their home, are drawn to mirrors that have their lights in a sophisticated-looking dot pattern arrangement.
While it might be their timeless and minimalistic aesthetic that initially attracts you to dot pattern illuminated mirrors, they can also incorporate a multitude of practical features to support your day-to-day life. These can include the likes of a built-in shaver socket and an integrated demister pad to prevent fogging.
- Ambient LED lighting
The diffused lighting provided by an ambient LED bathroom mirror can help cultivate a serene and relaxing atmosphere in this part of the home that is, after all, meant to be a haven from the stress of the outside world.
Not only that, but the many colours of illumination that can be provided by our own Aura underlighting here at Illuminated Mirrors, can help create a truly multisensory bathroom experience.
With white, red, green, pink, blue, yellow, green, and dark blue lighting all possible, these ambient lit-up mirrors can help infuse your space with an even more refined and sophisticated vibe.
