Bathroom & Home Mirror Guide
Mirrors are one of the finishing touches that transform a functional room into a truly elevated space. The right mirror enhances light, adds balance and brings a sense of quiet luxury to your everyday routine. Our collection is designed to refine your room beautifully, from compact cloakrooms to spacious master suites, with pieces that feel both considered and effortlessly premium.
Understanding Your Space
Whilst a mirror is an essential element in any bathroom, it also plays an important role throughout the home. Understanding the character of each space helps you choose a mirror that enhances both function and atmosphere.
Bathroom
In the bathroom, the mirror should brighten the room, support daily beauty routines and complement your suite. Size, proportion and practical features, such as LED lighting (as seen in our Cielo and Cellini mirror) make a noticeable difference to everyday comfort.
Hallways
Mirrors can open up narrow corridors, reflect light and create a welcoming first impression. Larger or elongated shapes work particularly well here.
Bedrooms
Tall portrait or full-length mirrors are ideal for dressing, while framed designs help soften and warm the room’s aesthetic.
Living Rooms
A mirror can act as a focal point, bounce natural light across the room, or highlight architectural details. Choose finishes that complement your décor.
Wherever it’s placed, the right mirror elevates the space, adding clarity, balance and a sense of quiet luxury.
Choosing the Right Mirror Size
Proportion is key. As a guide:
Match the mirror width to your vanity unit or choose slightly narrower for a balanced frame.
For double vanities, consider one large panoramic mirror or two single mirrors.
Taller mirrors maximise light reflection and suit rooms with higher ceilings.
Choosing Your Finishes
Your choice of colour and finish plays a vital role in the bathroom’s overall feel. The first consideration is the type of material you’d like your mirror to be made from:
- Wood: finished in carefully selected Farrow & Ball colours to coordinate seamlessly with the Arlington range, these mirrors create a cohesive, design-led look.
- Aluminum: offering a clean, contemporary look with excellent durability. Lightweight and moisture-resistant, they are ideally suited to bathroom environments where performance and longevity are essential.
Next you can look at the colours. We have carefully considered our range so that they match your taps and showers for a complete look:
Gold
Soft warmth and elevated luxury; pairs beautifully with marble and natural textures.
Black
Crisp, modern definition for contemporary interiors.
White
Light, fresh, and understated, ideal for bright, airy spaces or interiors that lean toward minimal simplicity.
Cream
Soft and refined, this finish brings warmth and subtle sophistication, working beautifully in traditional or calming schemes.
Olive
A rich, grounding shade that introduces an organic, architectural feel. Perfect for adding depth without overpowering the room.
Stone
A versatile, muted neutral with natural depth. Its earthy tone pairs effortlessly with wood, stone, and textured surfaces.
Illuminated Mirrors
Illuminated designs bring both ambience and practicality with a touch of style:
- Soft backlighting enhances evening routines and creates spa-like warmth.
- LED integration offers even, shadow-free lighting ideal for makeup and grooming.
- Demister pads keep the surface clear, even during steamy showers.
- Touch control: provide effortless on-off functionality and lighting adjustment
These features are especially beneficial in ensuites, loft bathrooms or spaces with limited natural light.
Caring for Your Mirror
A well-maintained mirror keeps its clarity, finish, and sense of luxury for years to come. With a few simple care habits, your mirror will continue to enhance your space and perform beautifully in everyday use.
- General care: use a soft microfibre cloth and mild glass cleaner. Avoid ammonia-based or abrasive products.
- LED mirrors: clean with a lightly dampened cloth to protect the lighting components.
- Wipe in consistent motions: circular or zig-zag strokes, finishing with long, smooth passes will help avoid streaks.
