Ah, the humble bathroom mirror. It’s one of the most used yet overlooked features of any home. Whether for pulling faces or plucking eyebrows, it is used by every single member of your family, multiple times a day. And yet this unsung hero rarely receives much thought. Even in interior design. But the mirror you choose has the potential to transform your bathroom from a merely utilitarian space into a little slice of style. And that’s why we are so partial to an illuminated bathroom mirror.
Five Reasons Why You Need to Invest in an Illuminated Bathroom Mirror
The even light distribution
As useful as overhead lighting is, it’s not always the most flattering. Coming from above, the light inevitably casts shadows, which isn’t helpful when you’re trying to make sure that you look your best. Depending on your bulb type, ceiling lights also often have a yellow cast, which can make tasks like make-up application awkward. An illuminated bathroom mirror, like the Imola, delivers a cleaner light and more even light distribution.
Long-lasting energy efficiency
Like the Astro Orb, the vast majority of illuminated bathroom mirrors employ LED lighting. Making them energy-efficient and cost-effective, while lasting longer than alternative lighting solutions.
The ambience
It doesn’t matter how elegant your ceiling lights are. When you’re trying to relax after a long hard day, a ceiling light shining down into the bath simply won’t cut it. While you could faff with candles, they’re inconvenient and kind of messy. Whereas an illuminated mirror, like the Astro Avalon, simply hits the sweet spot. Providing clear, functional lighting that soothes the senses, illuminated mirrors are the perfect downtime solution.
The flexibility
One of the greatest reasons why people fail to consider illuminated bathroom mirrors is concerns over connectivity. If you don’t already have an illuminated mirror in place, then you’re going to have to sort out a power supply. But did you know that you can get battery operated bathroom mirror lights? With a range of styles available, these mirrors are suited for use almost anywhere – not just the bathroom. They look great, and they’re incredibly useful.
There’s no better way to get up close and personal
Psst, don’t tell anyone, but bathroom shaver lights can be used for more than just shaving! You know the sockets in the traditional shaver light can also be used for charging electric toothbrushes? And magnifying illuminated bathroom lights, like the Astro Mascali, are ideal for flossing, make-up, putting in contacts, and, yes, shaving. And they’re particularly useful when your eyes reach a certain age!
They look great
Try as you might, you cannot argue against that statement! Whether it’s the large Astro Avlon 1200, or the more petite Nimi square, illuminated bathroom lights look amazing. On or off, they always add a certain style to a bathroom.
Illuminated bathroom lights make a practical addition to any bathroom. But they also carry a touch of glamour. Helping them to transform an average bathroom into a beautiful home space.
