We've combed through our Livingetc magazine archives to pull together the most striking and inspiring bathroom mirror ideas. Whether you're looking to make a dramatic statement, are looking for a neutral bathroom mirror to suit a more neutral scheme, or are looking for an unusually shaped mirror to fit an awkwardly shaped space or to solve a problem, you're bound to find the perfect bathroom mirror idea here.
We say you can't go wrong with an oversized round mirror with a simple thin frame, but we're big fans of the below more unusual shaped bathroom mirror ideas too, including a triangular mirror for a loft space with sloped ceilings, and a hexagon shaped mirror to add interest to a calm space. There's even a mirror with cut out sides to accommodate wall lights in a compact powder room space.

A mirror placed over a mirrored wall is a strong look, and the centrally placed mirror acts as a frame or window of clear reflection. We also love the below design idea of hanging – and illuminating – an artwork overlaid on top of a mirror.
