I love to spend a lot of time in my bathroom putting on makeup, doing my hair, and just relaxing. Therefore, personalizing the space is a must and having a standard counter to ceiling mirror just won't do. I can't get enough of round mirrors being used for the bathroom vanity. I especially love the captain's mirror that has been showing up in contemporary bathrooms.

I could see this in a powder room, but when I'm getting ready I prefer a larger mirror so I can see the full hair/makeup/outfit effect!
Doesn't Ikea have a great inexpensive alternative? I think its chrome or something.
Yes radioriot. Its featured in the 3rd picture above. The sing and faucent in that picture are also from ikea.
I agree with Second City Soiree. I think that it's important for the mirror to be large enough, for both function and scale.
The third image looks like the Ikea mirror.
I love that brown leather mirror...wish they had it in bigger size...would have been perfect for my powder room.....
I think the ones hanging from the leather strip (often with a buckle) are called "Captain's mirrors".
Seriously! The only mirror that is both big enough and hung at the right height is #3. I think oval mirrors are a better idea for the bathroom.
Wow these mirrors are great but what about those fantastic sinks! Holy cow I love them! So much personality in those.
Great for a spare bathroom, but in my bathroom that I use every day...the bigger the better!
These are cool, my bathroom has a round mirror from IKEA that was much cheaper than all of these and still looks nice.

I think round mirrors are a good change from the normal huge square or rectangular mirrors.
I agree with alyssa, the sinks are the amazing, especially the first three. They make the bathroom.
