Why Is It So Important For Your Bathroom Mirror To Be Illuminated?

In recent years, there has been a greater tendency among UK residents to approach specialists like our team at Illuminated Mirrors, to request the incorporation of lighting into their bathroom mirror.
However, at least one obvious question arises from this: for what reasons should you ask for your next bathroom mirror to be illuminated?
Below, we have outlined some of those reasons.
• It will enhance your mirror’s day-to-day practicality
A bathroom mirror is – of course – meant to be looked at, including so that the user can more easily carry out such tasks as brushing their teeth, shaving, and applying makeup.
The inclusion of direct lighting on your bathroom mirror will assist you with these processes by making your face more clearly visible, without harsh shadows. So, if you are attempting to apply makeup or pluck your eyebrows, the illumination will enable you to undertake the task with greater precision and a better result.
This practicality of an illuminated bathroom mirror can be enhanced still further when you choose to have such supporting features as a shaver socket and a demister pad built into it.
• It will help improve the aesthetic appeal of the mirror
One of the most compelling reasons to invest in an illuminated mirror is the “wow” factor it can bring to a bathroom. Your bathroom mirror will, after all, be a visual focal point in this crucial space in your abode. By arranging for the right bathroom mirror with lighting to be created, you can help give your bathroom a look that is striking in all the right ways.
Naturally, the bathroom mirror that you choose – or have made on a bespoke basis – will need to fit in well with the fixtures and décor in this part of your home.
Here at Illuminated Mirrors, we offer many different types and styles of lit-up mirrors to help make this possible. These encompass the best backlit mirrors, edge-lit mirrors, framed mirrors, and mirrors in a variety of shapes, such as round, oval, landscape, portrait, and pill-shaped.
• It will help compensate for any lack of natural light
You might be hesitating to specify lighting as part of your next bathroom mirror, because you’re wondering why you can’t simply depend on the traditional lighting already in your bathroom.
However, the conventional lighting in this part of a home can often be too dim or too harsh – and not all bathrooms easily allow in a lot of natural light. This can present issues when you’re trying to shave, apply makeup, style your hair, or carry out another task that requires a high level of visibility of your facial features.
To help address this priority, all our own lit-up mirrors at Illuminated Mirrors make use of CCT LED strip. This enables the user to access and switch between cool and warm lighting from a single strip.
It is a handy feature to have on a bathroom mirror given that sometimes, you will require the practicality of cool light, and on other occasions, you will favour more flattering warm light (for example, when taking a selfie).
