A simple fitting can be useful where the surrounding finish already has plenty of character. In our Balmedie bathroom, rich stone-effect panels contrast with pale fitted cupboards and a simple round mirror. The B-shaped bath retains bathing and showering within the room.
If you like a strongly patterned wall, show the mirror shape and frame against it on the elevation. Consider the reflection and the wall around it together, including the tap below. Show the mirror on the tile elevation to see how much of the surrounding pattern will remain visible. You may find that a quieter outline leaves the chosen surface easier to appreciate while keeping a useful place to get ready. This is a way to balance character around an everyday task without adding more decorative pieces to the basin surface.
