How to choose the right LED framed mirror

Start with size and placement: keep the mirror a little narrower than your vanity top so it reads as part of the same design, and centre it roughly at eye height for the household's main user. Round mirrors suit narrower vanities and softer, more casual bathroom styles, while pill (oval) shapes give more vertical coverage and work well over a longer benchtop. Check the light temperature on offer — warm white suits a timber-toned bathroom, while cool or neutral white gives a crisper, more clinical look and is easier to apply makeup under accurately.

Match the frame finish to your tapware and hardware where you want a coordinated look: brushed brass pairs with warm gold or brushed brass tapware, while matte black works with matte black fittings and darker cabinetry. Confirm whether the mirror is hardwired or plug-in before your electrician roughs in the wiring, and check the IP rating if the mirror will sit close to a shower or bath, since not every model is rated for high-moisture zones.
