The basin mirror in the bathroom is the equivalent of the desk in the office. It’s the hub of operations,
where most of the ‘work’ takes place. There are several options, but most effective is a solution that illuminates both sides of the face to ensure an even, flattering glow with no shadows. You can achieve this with either an illuminated mirror or wall lights positioned either side of the mirror.

Every basin needs a mirror, so illuminated mirrors provide a simple two-in-one solution. Some also incorporate shaver sockets. Choose from mirrors with integrated horizontal or vertical lighting. Some clever products also provide ambient lighting by giving a gentle wash of light behind the mirror which illuminates the wall and makes it appear to float
Take a leaf out of the hotel designer’s style book by fitting IP44-rated wall lights either side of a mirror. Not only does this give a very sophisticated 5-star look, but it enables you to fit a mirror that has been cut to exactly the size that best fits the space. Available from budget to luxury prices, they offer a very stylish alternative.
Make sure that you have no lighting directly over your head at the basin, as this will create unflattering shadows. Wall lights mounted either side of the mirror, or using an illuminated mirror will create a more even spread of light on the face.
A magnifying mirror is an invaluable aid for shaving, applying make-up and other personal grooming. Choose from a separate illuminated mirror which can be freely positioned as it incorporates allround lighting or a non-lit model that can be attached to the main bathroom mirror for an two-in-one solution.
