Desperately need at least one mirror in the house!

9 years ago

I have yet to pick out any mirrors for our recently completed remodel, and I am beginning to fear for the public when we leave the house in the morning. I'm starting with the master bath mirror, but need help finding one!
I'm thinking maybe oval to balance all the square lines? I don't think I want more wood so maybe a metal (or metal look) frame? There are two metal finishes in here already - brushed nickel (faucets, etc) and oil rubbed bronze (lights, door hardware).
Any ideas are welcome! Thank you!

Since you already have two metal finishes and don't want more wood, what about mother of pearl?

More pics of the bathroom. Also should have said, we are going mostly craftsman style on the interior, with some transitional elements.

Wood is not quite as dark as it looks in the pics

That might be good. Do you think round would be ok or should I look for oval?

I would go with a round one to maximize mirror area. I'm not sure how wide your vanities is, but pier1 carries a similar mirror in different sizes http://www.pier1.com/ivory-mother-of-pearl-round-mirror/PS44971.html#ct-cross-sell

Have you thought of removing the towel hook on the wall?

Beautiful bathroom BTW :-)

Ok, thanks, I will look at those. Yes, towel hook is temporary, also don't have any towel bars, etc yet :)

Black would go well I'm sure. I was hoping to glam it up just a bit, but that's certainly an option

Good point, maybe I meant bling :). Sometimes I need to fight my desire to add too many different things though. Thanks!

The room looks very masculine with the heavy moldings and straight lines. If you want some bling I think you can use a mirror that contrasts with that.

I guess that's what I was thinking, something a bit more feminine, although that one is a little too ornate for me. I liked this one, but too many different metals. Maybe I could find something like this all glass?

Thoughts on the mother of pearl idea?

An oval mirror with a metal or metallic painted finish to match one of the metals in the bathroom would be nice. You can add a color in towels and an area rug in front of the vanity... a Craftsman color like gray-green or gray-blue, perhaps.

Love all your choices so far. What about a round or oval shaped with a thin black frame. These get close to the look:

I like your example. Think of the frame like an art frame. It doesn't need to match the other metals in the room exactly. The silver leaf would look nice with your faucets but the gold edges provide some warmth.

Ooh, I like that, have not looked at hay needle before. Husband nixed a couple of my picks and I was thinking I would go with the simple round black, but I will try this one
