The bathroom is the hardest room for a mirror. Steam, humidity and splashes are exactly the conditions that age cheaper glass, clouding it and creeping black corrosion in from the edges. The good news: with the right mirror, a bathroom is also one of the most rewarding places to make a design statement.
Why most bathroom mirrors fail
Standard mirrors are silvered with copper and lead, and framed in materials that swell or corrode in damp air. Over a year or two in a steamy bathroom, the silvering breaks down and the edges blacken. Every MUNLER mirror is made differently: a copper-free, lead-free silver glass that resists corrosion and edge-blackening, set in a rust-resistant brushed stainless steel frame. That combination is built for damp rooms.
Choose a shape that softens the room
Bathrooms are full of hard lines, tiles, straight vanities, rectangular shower screens. An asymmetrical, organic mirror shape is the easiest way to soften all of it and bring a little warmth and movement to a functional space.
Light and placement
Position the mirror to catch a window or your vanity lighting, so it bounces light around the room and makes a small bathroom feel larger. Pair it with wall sconces on either side for even, flattering light, and hang it with the centre of the glass around eye level above the basin.
Gold or black in the bathroom
A warm champagne gold frame such as the Brook in champagne gold glows against marble, stone and brass taps, lifting a pale, spa-like scheme. A matte black frame, on the other hand, looks striking in a moody, darker bathroom and pairs naturally with black brassware.
