6. Floor to ceiling. If you have reservations about mounting a mirror on top of a mirrored surface, skip the layered effect and use mirrors from floor to ceiling. There are many ways to create this effect, but a particular favorite is to use mirrored “tiles” (pieces of stock mirror cut into tile-size pieces for easier handling and a unique look).

3. Wraparound. The inverse of the suspended mirror solution is the wraparound. It’s a practical way to bring the illusion of space into a small bathroom along with more usable mirror space, and it’s a creative wallcovering. These mirrors are usually custom-cut for each space to allow for the wall-to-wall look. They are secured directly to the drywall or other existing wallcovering. Reflective surfaces give the illusion of a brighter space and the semblance of depth. So they are a great solution for bathrooms that don’t have windows. It’s the ultimate trick for small or windowless bathrooms. Works best with: Contemporary, modern, eclectic and transitional styles. Pros: More reflection in a small bathroom makes the space seem brighter and have more depth.Cons: This is an expensive custom option compared to other wallcoverings, and it’s hard to replace the mirror if it gets scratched.
