Customizing your bathroom with a bathroom vanity

By Jamie J. Zidan

Several people believe that redecorating a bathroom includes buying a new window treatment (blinds or a roman shade), a designer curtain for the shower and a maybe a soft bath rug. There are various ways of personalizing your bathroom and keeping it your style. When getting started you need to look at your needs in the bathroom and the first thing that needs to be addressed is the bathroom vanity and the type of mirror you are looking for.

When you think of a bathroom vanity, you would not figure it would make that much of a difference but it does. Before you step foot into your bathroom, you can see the toilet and the tub but when you step into the bathroom you pay attention to the mirror above the vanity. The mirror is placed at eyelevel so that your guest can admire their appearance while cleansing their hands.

A bathroom vanity mirror can be called the basic building block of a bathroom theme. It can be trimmed with any color which makes this feature very flexible in any bathroom theme. The influence of the mirror will be noticed by all the guests and also will affect the bathroom's theme. If you feel that you have choose the wrong mirror, your bathroom will not be balanced and it will feel like you just threw all the pieces in place without a purpose.

Your general public bathroom has a piece of mirror with some brackets that attach it to a wall over the bathroom vanity. It's obvious that the mirror gets the job done and at a very reasonable price. Comfort is what you're searching for in your bathroom at home not the uncomfortable cold feeling you get in a public restroom. In order to make it more inviting you need to be sure that everyone's needs are met. Installing a bathroom mirror will help give that warm and comfortable feeling to your guests.

The trim of your bathroom vanity does not have to be oak it can be other types of wood also. It can be matched with the frame of your vanity mirror. To add an extra flare, there are mirrors that have a trace of gold on the edge of the glass.

To enhance the warmth in the bathroom, you can purchase some wooden towel racks that are the same shade of stain as the bathroom vanity. The towel rack needs to be placed on the left or right side of the mirror. You need to look at how much room you have on your bathroom wall for the towel rack before choosing a size. The various hues of red or green look amazing with any type of wood. By placing a potpourri holder on the opposite side of the mirror can add a pleasant scent throughout the bathroom.

When you are designing your bathroom you need to look at how much room is available and the appropriate size of bathroom vanity you need. You also don't want it too crowded so use accessories sparingly. The whole idea about theme is not just to bring out the wood around the mirror but also on the vanity. - 16732
