Learn about the different factors that influence the proportion of a custom bathroom mirror.
Size of the Vanity Mirror
The size of your bathroom mirror will also relate to the wall you hang the mirror on. This principle is especially true when the mirror is separate from a vanity. If you stay within a traditional style, your mirror should be a smaller version of the wall with adequate visual space all around.
However, if you want a modern aesthetic, you may play with proportion. You may choose a geometric mirror that you hang in an asymmetrical location. You may also opt for a long, narrow mirror that cuts the wall into asymmetrical halves.
Single vs. Double Vanity
In this case, you can choose to hang two identical mirrors over each sink. This setup is ideal if the vanity area is symmetrical. However, if the countertop is not symmetrical, you may consider the second option - a single oversized mirror. That way, the mirror covers the whole space without emphasizing the asymmetry.
Mirror Shape
From an aesthetic point of view, ovals and circles do have those curves going for them. Arcs in any design speak to a classical beauty. Therefore, you can sacrifice some of the literal proportion to make room for the pleasing arches of the mirror.
Frames
A very simple frame will not significantly affect the overall proportion of the mirror and its surroundings. However, if you choose a bold color, it will stand out. You may want a smaller mirror to keep it from overwhelming the vanity or the wall you hang the mirror on.
Elaborate frames greatly impact the visual weight of the mirror. A weighty frame can overpower a small vanity. You'll want to save these frames for larger vanities or for mirrors hanging alone. Indeed, a large, elaborately framed mirror could be a statement piece on any size of wall.
Mirror Edges
If your mirror space is large enough to handle more visual weight, consider one of the more elaborate edges. A beveled edge adds a little glimmer around the perimeter. Some of the fancy edges, like waterfall and ogee, give the perimeter the feel of a frame without quite the same visual weight.
Choose custom bathroom mirrors that complement your décor by staying in proportion. Let Kenny Glass Inc. provide a beautiful custom mirror for your bathroom.
The shower scene usually moves trends slowly throughout the year, and one of those that stands out is Satin Brass. This finish is available in many different layouts from a single shower door, to shower door and panel(s), all the way to barn style sliding models. Larger companies like C.R. Laurence Company and Frameless Hardware Company have always offered Satin Brass, but smaller companies are now adding the finish to their products.
Residential Service Manager for Kenny Glass, Tricia Brand, has noticed Satin Brass becoming more of a regular. “Black has still remained popular along with Brushed Nickel” she said, and while it isn’t in the top choices, this finish has shown to be slowly climbing to those top spots.
Satin Brass provides the warmth of brass but has a softer muted hue, with a golden yellow brushed look. Its subtle matte finish helps with keeping fingerprints from showing as well.
This finish is flexible. It can stay retro, but also become elegant and modern if needed. Satin Brass can easily be mixed with the bright tone of Chrome for a complementing contrast, or by itself to create distinctively noticeable fixtures. Pair it with white or light grey for a soft, clean look. Also adding in a black or deep blue vanity or dark floor tile can make it really stand out and become noticed.
Satin Brass and many other finishes are available in our framed, semi-frameless, sliding, and fully frameless shower enclosures. Stop in at our Columbus or Seymour location today, to let us help achieve the look you’re after.
