There are many options to choose from when deciding to design a new bathroom or redesign an old bathroom. One of the important and most often used fixture in the bathroom is the mirror. There are many ways to go with the look of the mirror. There is modern, old fashioned, and shabby chic.

The look of shabby chic wall mirrors is basically the idea of using an older looking style of furniture and mirrors. Most commonly these mirrors and styles are painted white, often many times over to achieve a more worn and older look to the piece. Although white isn't the only color that these mirrors come in it is often the most popular color of choice. If the piece is not old and is in fact a newer piece then it is often put through a process of making it appear as if it really was an older piece. That includes roughing up the piece to make it look worn or painting multiple times to achieve a look of being used.

When it comes to wall mirrors these mirrors often come in many different shapes and sizes. There are circles, squares and triangle shaped mirrors that can be hung upon the wall. The size of the mirror ranges from tiny mirrors or one large mirror. To achieve the shabby chic look with the mirror the frame is often painted white and multiple times. These allows the mirror in the bathroom to incorporate the shabby chic look.

The frame doesn't always have to be flat. Instead the surface around the mirror can be rounded and there could be various holes in the wood to make it appear old but yet have an elegant look. There are many options when it comes to the frame work of the mirror.

So gone are the days when the mirror either has to be so large that it over takes the bathroom or just one large piece of glass mounted to the wall. A Shabby Chic wall mirror will allow the designer to choose a smaller looking mirror that adds to the bathroom instead of being a hindrance to the design of the bathroom
