The functionality of the mirror in a room is a major factor to be thought of.

4- Framing material - The framing material is also a major factor to consider if you are using framed mirrors you have to consider the material that will be used to build the frame. There are wooden frames; there are also metal frames. Where the frame is going to be placed is also a factor most bathrooms have frameless mirrors while mirrors placed in rooms can have frames. Once you get the desired look and theme that you like, you can use that one.

5- Finish - What type of finish do you want to create? Do you want to create an ancient look? Or a modern twist? Custom sized mirrors can be used depending on the look that you want. Different finishes are available including Gold, cloudy, smoked, etc.

6- When doing bathroom makeover, mirrors serve a function that is very important. Where you place can bring a certain feel of the room. Bathroom mirrors are usually frameless mirrors they should be placed just above the sink in such a way that everyone can be able to see themselves. The bigger the mirror, the better.
