Bathroom mirror: polished edge or framed?

It is the icing on the cake, the final touch that completes the decor of a bathroom. We are talking about the mirror, undoubtedly the accessory that more than any other helps define the bathroom environment and contributes significantly to the design of the mood and furnishing style.
Thanks to its presence, the room will not only feel complete, but also bright and satisfying. However, we must not forget the functional aspect of this very important piece of furniture. In this regard, lighting plays a fundamental role.
On the market you can find mirrors of any size, irregularly shaped or perfectly round, rectangular, or square; they can follow the line and shape of the vanity unit, but no one prevents you from choosing one that contrasts it.
The only clear rule is that there are no rules, the important thing is that it should be in harmony with the environment! In any case, we want to give you some advice, so as to help you find the mirror that best meets your needs starting from the most classic of distinctions: with polished edge or with frame?

POLISHED EDGE MIRROR
It is commonly used to enhance modern environments, ideal for those who love a minimalist and glamorous look. The glass is sharply cut, and to eliminate that irregular and jagged effect, the edges are smoothed through a grinding operation so that the light, flooding the surface, reflects the whole spectrum, showing a thousand shades of colour. Precisely for this reason it is often backlit, but it lends itself very well to external lighting and wall lights.
In our collections you can find SOFT, mirror with perimeter backlighting with ground edge available in several sizes, or VEGA, also with ground edge but with integrated lighting. If you prefer to give a touch of originality with a mirror with irregular shapes, we recommend VELA, compatible with several types of wall lights and it can be installed both horizontally and vertically.

FRAMED MIRROR
It is certainly the best choice to give an extra touch of elegance to the classic bathroom, even if it is highly appreciated in more contemporary environments.
The mirror, enclosed within a wooden or metal frame, matches the nuances of the furniture and gives the environment a tidy look with attention to detail. An example is OMEGA, with a 6.5 cm burnished metal profile with integrated lighting, or TELA, with a Sepia lacquered ash frame. In this case too, the lighting is integrated and includes an optical sensor to adjust the intensity of the light.
We talked to you about some of our proposals, but we also have storage mirrors available, with integrated shelves, or with LED strips on the top.
