25 Bathroom Mirror Ideas to Make Your Space Stand Out (2025)

24 Bathroom Décor Ideas for a Spa-Like Retreat, According to Interior Designers

Pair Elegant Neutrals

A neutral color scheme is a beautiful, universal language in every room in the home, but especially in the bathroom. In this project by interior design firm Atelier Davis, principal Jessica Davis paired two elegant mirrors from RH with natural stone, white oak, and a serene color palette. A quick tip? Consider every angle. "We made sure the backs of the mirrors were painted black, so they read as finished from the back side," says Davis.

Appreciate the View

Mirrors are important, but a beautiful view is perhaps the most coveted amenity of all. For this bathroom, Blackberry Farm Design carefully arranged the reflective surfaces so they wouldn't compete with the lush greenery just beyond. "Sometimes, in order to preserve the view, it's best to just make the mirrors disappear—like with these pivoting ones that can be moved to the side," says director of design Christine Carney.

Shed a (Chic) Tear

In this bathroom, interior designer Jennie Bishop of Studio Gild opted for a teardrop-shaped mirror, which has an elongated, tapered shape that naturally makes the room feel taller. It also serves as a natural contrast to the surrounding structures and patterns. "The organic curves soften the geometric intensity of the [wallpaper] design," she says.

Let Them Float

In most bathrooms, mirrors are placed directly against the wall. There's another option, though—you can also choose to suspend your mirror so it can be better appreciated from all sides. In this project by Christopher Architecture & Interiors, this "floating" approach also serves another purpose.

"It preserves natural light, allowing it to flood the room," says director of interior design Whitney Tingle. "It introduces a sense of privacy, with effortless sophistication."

Circle Up

Sometimes, a bathroom's material backdrop is so striking that you want to keep the décor to a minimum. That's the idea in this project by Vanessa DeLeon, which is clad in a stunning blue stone that extends into the walk-in shower. The mirrors, then, are elegant and straightforward circles—a softer shape that subtly enhances the overall space.

Add Glamorous Accents

It's the little details that can really tie a bathroom together. In this space by Eva Bradley Studio, the metallic details from the mirrors are echoed throughout the rest of the space. "We carried the brass finish through as inlay detail in the custom walnut vanity," says Bradley. "It adds a refined touch of continuity and elegance."

Create an Atmosphere

Mirrors are more than just reflective surfaces. They can also add to a room's overall atmosphere, like in this project by Andrew Franz Architect, where the mirrors are made with the same white oak as the vanity.

"Mirrors, tiles, and textures all work together to shape the space," says Franz. "It's about balance. Refined but inviting; modern but rooted in craftsmanship." These natural materials perfectly pair with the aqua-blue tiles, as well as the scenic view through the window.

Frame With Mosaics

Mosaic tiles are a wonderful way to add beautiful intricacies to a bathroom—and they're the perfect framing device for a mirror. In this elegant space, interior designer Young Huh installed a sizable mirror and used beautiful mosaics to take the vignette to the next level.

Embrace a Biophilic Look

Biophilic design is all the rage these days, and we love a bathroom—or any room for that matter—that really leans into this organic, light-filled look. This example from interior design firm Ten Plus Three checks all the boxes with greenery, earthy tones, and a mirror with a unique frame for added pizzazz.

Use Contrasting Colors

Not everything in your bathroom has to match perfectly—in fact, it's sometimes better if it doesn't. In this space by Sugarhouse Design & Architecture, the wood-framed mirror "warms up" the rest of the room, according to co-founder Jess Nahon. "This clever design conceals a medicine cabinet behind," she adds.

Layer Your Mirrors

Have one mirror? You can always add another. "We love hanging mirrors on top of other mirrors," says Christine Carney of Blackberry Farm Design, of this project. "The multiple reflective planes hint at very classic, traditionally designed spaces, while also adding a touch of bold, modern maximalism."

Frame With Sconces

Every bathroom needs a considered lighting scheme, and this is especially true in the space surrounding a mirror. Better lighting will create a more flattering reflection, after all. One great option is a pair of sconces, which interior designer Peter Dunham used on this mirror to create ambience. “Mirrors bring air and light to every room; adding the glow of sconces right on the mirror itself—or its frame—enhances this effect," he says.

Go Maximalist

On the hunt for something a bit bolder? This bathroom by interior designer Robin Gannon revels in texture, layer, and color, from the wallpaper all the way to the sconces—and, of course, the mirror. "We seek out vintage and antique mirrors that not only suit the space in scale and proportion but also elevate the everyday with character and history," she says.

Create Moody Contrasts

A darker color scheme can look beautiful in a bathroom, like this blue backdrop—but make sure to pair it with the right finishes and accents. Here, in this project designed by KA Murphy Interiors, the mirror serves as the perfect visual counterbalance.

"The gold finish on the mirror adds a luminous quality, catching the light and infusing the room with an effortless elegance that feels both luxurious and lived-in," says principal Kevie Murphy.

Work With the Architecture

This bathroom by interior designer Gray Walker is a traditional space with plenty of natural light and a lovely balance of neutral hues. What really sets it apart, though, is its mirror, which is framed by molding to create an architectural, stately look.

Try Something Minimalist

Not everyone wants a bathroom full of clutter, and if you love a clean, minimalist look with elegant design elements, then this mirror arrangement is the perfect inspo. Architecture and interior design firm Kallos Turin chose this particular marble for its ability to "bounce the light around the space," according to principal Abigail Turin.

Make a Subtle Statement

Powder rooms may be small, but they can pack a punch when it comes to their interior design elements. Mirrors are a key element of that vision—like in this example from design firm M. Naeve. "We paired a vintage mirror with a rattan vintage light to add texture," says principal Margaret Naeve Parker. "The diffused light creates a moment." Like the rounded mirror, it's subtle—while still making a statement.

Shop for Antiques

Looking for something timeless? An antique mirror like this one will never go out of style and really elevates whatever space it's in. Interior designer Nadia Watts used it to add "some sparkle," noting that it "perfectly balances the modern vanity."

Pair Shagreen and Vintage

For this home, which is located on the shores of a lagoon, interior designer Alicia Cheung selected a vintage mirror made with horn. It's the perfect counterpoint to the shagreen wallcovering, adding both style and texture.

Go Big

Mirrors can open up a space, and that's especially true for an oversized one, like in this project in Athens, Greece. Here, the mirror reflects the green quartzite stone, giving the whole space a "dreamlike quality," says interior designer Stephania Kallos of Kallos Turin. The Venini chandelier is another standout—it was originally designed for a hotel in Capri and was sourced from the personal collection of design tastemaker Nina Yashar of Nilufar Gallery.

Layer Textures

Mirrors can be a great way to add a bit of texture to a bathroom, which is especially important if you're opting for a more neutral color scheme. In this all-white space, interior designer Nadia Watts selected a mirror from Oly, adding an elegant, intriguing silhouette to the aesthetic.

Add a Pop of Color—and Pattern

The wallpaper in this bathroom by Jennie Bishop of Studio Gild is a major statement—doubly so because of the colorful sconce and sink. The mirror, then, serves as a playful counterpoint. "It adds a sculptural and unexpected element to the space," says Bishop. "Its asymmetrical design creates a sense of movement, reflecting light and pattern in a way that feels dynamic and immersive."

Get Rid of Straight Lines

Straight lines and geometric silhouettes can make a space feel grounded and sculptural, but it's important to juxtapose them with organic, fluid shapes. This bathroom by interior designer Zoe Feldman has a mirror that resembles a pool of water—alongside a squiggly wall hook—adding just the right amount of whimsy and dynamism.

Echo Wood Paneling

Wood paneling is all the rage these days—it's a vintage, throwback aesthetic that feels both warm and elevated. The look has even made its way into the bathroom, like in this example by interior design firm Electric Bowery. The oval-shaped mirror perfectly rounds out this warm, cozy palette.

Pair With Statement Stone

White stone is a staple in the bathroom, but black can make a real statement—and add a bit of edginess. This home by interior designer Alfredo Paredes features a stunning black marble backdrop, with a pair of matching black mirrors that perfectly tie the room together.
