Mirror decor offers more than mere functionality; it serves as an indispensable element of bedroom interiors. Be it the most iconic or mundane, a day begins in front of the dressing table mirror. With an array of designs, shapes, and styles available in the market, these mirrors contribute significantly to personal spaces and their aesthetic appeal.
Clarity: The clarity of the mirror is paramount. Saint-Gobain's high-definition mirrors, SGG Diamant, are manufactured with extra clear glass for sharp reflections and are the ideal solution.
Safety: For larger mirrors, safety becomes a crucial factor. SGG Mirasafe mirrors come with a shatterproof shield which prevents fragments from scattering upon breakage. They are also designed to and provide distortion-free reflections, even in large sizes.
In this blog, we delve into the art of selecting the quintessential dressing table mirror, unveiling a multitude of types and designs that can elevate your vanity mirror ideas.
For a true modern-minimalist style bedroom, a frameless single large rectangular dressing table mirror with rounded corners works best. To enhance this further, a thin metal frame in a brushed nickel or black finish, and an in-built LED light strip along the periphery as task lighting can be added. For LED integrated mirrors, explore SGG Aspira’s wide range of technology-integrated mirror offerings which also come with in-built smart defoggers, making them a great choice for bathrooms.
A triple-fold vanity mirror with a central rectangular panel flanked by two smaller rectangles on either side makes for the most beautiful makeup mirror. A wooden frame in a warm walnut or teak finish completes the Mid-century modern look. Brass or copper hardware adds a touch of vintage glam for self-care Sundays.
Nothing screams Hollywood Glam like a large, round or rectangular dressing table mirror with bevelled edges and crystal-bulbed frames. For an added style quotient, add a gold or silver leaf frame with shimmering accents.
For the wabi-sabi/hygge lifestyle lovers, a simple oval mirror with a thin wooden frame in a light natural wood tone can be an ideal choice. Here, sleek and clean lines focus on functionality; an added layer of round magnifying dressing table mirrors will highlight this style.
Consider a geometric mirror with a sunburst or fan-shaped design formed by multiple angled panels. Art-Deco-inspired dressing rooms that seek sophisticated additions, can certainly use such quirky vanity mirrors, featuring high-gloss finishes and bold geometric patterns. Metal or mirrored frames in chrome or gold finish with black or contrasting colour accents add to the look.
A round or arched vanity mirror with a woven rattan or macrame frame can impart to your room, the perfect bohemian vibes; the warm and natural textures add a touch of whimsy to the interiors. A small, adjustable magnifying mirror with a wooden or bamboo handle can be attached to the main mirror, complete with decorative chains.
This kind of style makes for the best dressing table mirrors for small spaces.
For this style, large arched or rectangular mirrors with a distressed wooden frame do the trick. The idea is to maintain simple and clean lines with a focus on natural materials. For added detail, a small, round magnifying mirror can be hung from a hook with a leather strap.
This style demands loud and playful vibes - here, the dresser will have less of a vanity mirror and more of a statement piece; for example, a combination of vintage mirrors in various shapes and sizes, arranged in a unique collage on the wall. Keeping up with the theme, hidden compartments behind the mirrors can act as storage for makeup, accessories etc.
And there it is! From modern to classical, the perfect dressing table mirror can complement any interior style of your choice.
Not only is a good mirror essential for your daily routine, but also acts as a statement piece. It reflects your unique style and accentuates the ambience of your vanity space.
