Recognising the important role mirrors play in both the design and functionality of a bathroom, MyLife, an award-winning bathroom brand supplying retailers across the UK & Ireland, has developed an extensive collection of more than 90 mirrors, offering a wide variety of styles, shapes and integrated features to suit every space.
LIGHTING THE WAY
At the most basic level, a mirror brings light and space into a bathroom. In smaller rooms especially, a well-placed mirror can create the illusion of depth, helping the space feel brighter and more open. Designers often use oversized mirrors or mirrored cabinets to maximise this effect, reflecting both natural and artificial light around the room.
SHAPING THE FUTURE
Mirrors have evolved well beyond simple reflective surfaces. Modern designs are now integral to the overall aesthetic of the bathroom, available in a wide variety of shapes, frames and finishes. While classic rectangular mirrors remain a popular choice for their versatility, softer shapes such as round or pill-shaped mirrors are increasingly favoured for adding a contemporary, spa-like feel, whilst unusual shapes are the choice for making a true statement. MyLife’s new Mani LED Mirror is a touch of modern artistry with a round silhouette and refined flat base creating a masterpiece of sculptural sophistication.
A COHESIVE LOOK
Framing is another area where mirrors can make a statement. Slim metallic frames can tie in beautifully with taps and accessories, creating a cohesive look throughout the room. MyLife’s Boden LED Mirror is an elegant arched framed piece (500x800mm) available in a choice of colour finishes – Matt Black, Brushed Brass and Gun Metal.
TRANSFORM WITH TECH
Technology has also transformed the role of the bathroom mirror. Integrated LED lighting has become a sought-after feature, providing soft, even illumination that is ideal for grooming tasks while enhancing the ambience of the room. MyLife’s Zina LED Mirror features subtle phantom lighting that effortlessly emits a radiant glow through the glass, beautifully illuminating a bathroom space without revealing its source.
All MyLife’s LED Mirrors include heated demister pads that prevent condensation from clouding the surface after a hot shower, a small but highly appreciated convenience in daily life. With their contactless sensor controls, you can control the light from cool to warm, and built-in brightness memory function remembers your preferred lighting choice each time you switch the mirror on.
While these features might once have felt like luxuries, they are quickly becoming standard expectations in contemporary bathroom design. Ultimately, the bathroom mirror is one of the most frequently used features in the home, yet it is often chosen as an afterthought. Taking the time to select the right style, size and functionality can have a significant impact on both the look and usability of the space.
