Every room has its own must-haves. Every living room needs a sofa, every bedroom needs a bed and every bathroom needs a mirror. But it’s not just that. Each of these elements comes with a series of secondary features that increase their efficiency. In the case of the bathroom mirror it’s the accent lighting that completes the package.
It’s important to know how to pick a mirror with lights. Don’t focus on size or shape only. You must also pay attention to details such as the way the accent lighting interacts with the mirror itself but also with the surrounding décor. Always remember that having a bathroom mirror with accent lights placed directly above it is the worst kind of combination. The light has to flatter you, not create unpleasant shadows.
A lot of modern mirrors take care of that problem for you. They come with integrated accent lighting that’s soft, pleasant and uniformly dispersed in order to be efficient and flattering. There are lots of different designs to choose from so pick wisely and take into consideration all the factors.
