Pivot mirror recommendations

4 years ago

We are looking for a pivot mirror for our bathroom. Rejuvenation and Restoration Hardware carry ones that look appealing, however I've read mixed reviews of the quality of their product so I'm curious if the Houzz-hive mind recommends other sources. We're looking for something:

- framed in chrome

- rounded square

- approx 32" x 26"

- traditional/transitional style

- $500 budget

Thanks in advance!

    Can we see the space it is planned for and I guess the reason for pivot.

    We put pivot mirrors in the master bath in our previous house that I believe I purchased from Bellacor.com and were made by Quoizel. Good quality product, cheaper than either RH or Rejuvenation. I think if you do some more shopping you can find something you like elsewhere. It certainly doesn't pay to buy a cheap mirror. I have returned some that I bought and when I received them weren't good quality. But if RH isn't a good value proposition then you need to look elsewhere.

    I put in a chrome Gatco pivot mirror about 6 years ago and it's held up just fine. I don't know if they have the size or design you want but they're certainly affordable.


    (It also looks good with my other fixtures which were not cheap but didn't have a pivot mirror in their lineup. Sometimes a pivot mirror is the only type that makes sense!)

    Thanks for the leads @kandrewspa and @Fori-- I'll look into Quoizel and Gatco!


    @Patricia Colwell Consulting, here are the plan and elevation drawings, though they're slightly out-of-date: we want two sconces, not one, and we can't/don't want to do a recessed medicine cabinet. We are interested in a pivot mirror because we want to run a trim tile with a projection behind the mirror (similar to this picture with the black and white tile). Our trim piece is Fireclay "Cori" so we know the mirror needs to be about 3" from the wall to overlap it. We also like the pivot quality given the range of heights in our family, though we know that it won't be able to pivot quite as much because of the tile. While we're open to mounting a mirror on the wall with no tile behind it, we haven't been able to find any pictures that we like of this approach.

    That's similar to why I needed one--right down to the Fireclay tile, although my tile doesn't stick out. :P

    I actually like that it's adjustable. It's in a guest bath but if I have to use it, I can tilt it for short people.


    ETA: I have hardware and lighting from both places--RH and Rejuv.--and they have been pretty satisfactory, Rejuv. especially. I don't have mirror experience with them though. If I were to gamble, it would be on Rejuvenation.

    I'm looking for something similar. I want a 22" x 32" oval pivot mirror framed in brushed nickel. I just like how they look. I did Ballard rectangular (Amelie) ones in polished nickel in my master bath and love them. the ovals are for a kids bath and I like how they tilt down and i want something large for kids to easily see. i like the traditional look. rejuvenation has horrible reviews. i'm between that or restoration hardware (those are 22" x 36" which I think will work but is a tad tall). gatco has them too but i think 20 x 27 is going to look too small. I'm leaning towards the RH Lugarno Oval.

    @anj_p I found that PB one last night and think we're going to go with it!
