Overhead lighting creates shadows that a vanity mirror with lights can counteract, making precision tasks, like tweezing and flossing, a lot easier. Having an LED mirror in the bathroom will provide even distribution of light. For a trendier version of the light-up approach, try a backlit bathroom mirror to cast a soft glow that's great waking up or winding down.

Size matters when shopping for mirrors for bathrooms. Generally, bigger is better, particularly if you have a double vanity with a shared vanity mirror. But the same is true for small spaces too. A large bathroom mirror can reflect more light making a tiny room feel bigger. The shape of your bathroom wall mirrors can also put it in proportion. For example, you may prefer the look of slim, oval bathroom mirrors no wider than your sink.
