ROUND MIRRORS

We've been seeing a lot of round mirrors lately, and they look great as their shape stands out and contrasts nicely with the block-shaped items in the bathroom, such as rectangular washbasins and tiles. Changing the mirror is also easier as it's not mounted to the wall. The main drawback of round mirrors is that they can't provide extra shelf space, and they don't aid much in making the bathroom look larger.

SQUARE AND RECTANGULAR MIRRORS

A regular four-sided shape is the default style for bathroom mirrors for many reasons. They can be customised to the size of your space; a large, tall or long mirror can be used to make a small space look larger. They can also be combined with shelves or medicine cabinets to provide storage.
