This year we are seeing a growing love of
beautiful imperfection and refreshing authenticity in bathroom design and
styling. Gone are the days of symmetrical spaces with perfectly shaped objects.
Instead, we are moving to a place of comfort and injecting a sense of serenity
and harmony into the room. This trend is very much inspired by the social
directions of mindfulness, quality of life and enhancing the home environment.

Embracing
the forms seen in the natural world, with many flowing lines and curves, one of
the ways in which we see this styling trend taking shape in the bathroom is
through pebble shaped,
organic looking mirrors.
By their very function, bathrooms can sometimes
appear a little sterile, so organic-shaped mirrors help create a striking focal
point, and bring an understated and elegant, free-flowing asymmetrical design
quality to the interior.
How to style with an organic shaped
mirror:
Before embarking on any bathroom styling project,
it is important to think about the bathroom interior design holistically, as
there are many pebble shaped mirrors options, all providing a slightly
different aesthetic. It is therefore a good idea to consider how you want your
bathroom identity to look, before investing in a pebble style mirror.
Frameless organic shaped mirrors
softly finish off a pared back, effortless Scandinavian, or Minimalist
bathroom. Combine with simple fixtures and fittings, clean lines, and subtle
colour palettes. This look is unfussy, simple, and structured with a soft
elegance and knowingly understated style. Less is more here, both in terms of
colour and design.
Pebble
shaped mirrors with acrylic edges offer a contemporary style which provides a sculptural,
modern, and minimal style. They can be paired perfectly with sleek materials
such as granite and marble and help create a break in the straight lines of the
rest of the bathroom. Combine natural materials with high end finishes to
complete the look. – Think polished concrete, floor to ceiling marble, and
dark, statement furniture.
Introduce
a pop of colour through the mirror frame edge, and thread the same hue through
the rest of the room. – Be sure to repeat it at least three times within the
bathroom to help balance and subliminally tie everything together visually for
a harmonious design.
Mirrors with natural, timber edged frames
work well for a warmer, bohemian styled bathroom. Pair with other nature
inspired elements such as stoneware or bamboo for a tranquil scheme. Add an
earthy colour palette of Olive green, Terracotta and Clay for a Bohemian vibe,
or stick to calming off-whites and Greige for a Japandi theme. This trend works
particularly well for eco-friendly or sustainable styling in bathrooms
Organic
bathroom mirrors with frosted edging add a little sense of luxury to a
naturally styled bathroom. They subtly finish off the mirror to create a
refined frame that doesn’t draw attention too strongly and instead finishes off
the room with elegance.
Having
an illuminated frosted edge also makes a great contemporary alternative to
heavier, metal frames.

tips for styling bathrooms with organic shaped mirrors:
- Avoid combining this mirror
type with harsh geometric prints, in favour of natural, organic shapes.
Think about natural elements; the irregularity of mountains, rivers and
seascapes and be inspired by these. Geometrics with hard lines are
unlikely to sit well with a pebble shape. Instead, pair the soft, flowing
lines of the mirror with accessories that have the same design principles
such as asymmetrical, wavy curves. This will help coordinate the scheme
and pull it all together.
- Enhance the feeling of nature
by hanging the organic styled mirror opposite a window to reflect the
outside back into the room. Seeing greenery from the outdoors will
highlight the natural elements in the room and help elevate well-being
too. Mirrors are also a great way to bounce and reflect daylight back into
the bathroom, too which can really help brighten the space.
- Pair an irregular edged mirror
with rounded or oval shaped basin and rounded taps. Friendly, soft, and
understated design with rounded corners will tie the whole interior style
together. Just one or two angled or hard lined objects are enough to cause
a discord within an interior scheme, so favour softer lines to match your
organic scheme.
- Select mirrors with lighting
already built in to draw attention and really add impact to a wall, as
well as offering a practical lighting solution, too.
- For a sleek and understated
appeal, select a subtle, slimline mirror to finish off the bathroom.
