We Tested Dozens of Bathroom Mirrors, But These 5 Made Getting Ready a Breeze (2025)

Our Top Picks

After testing this round bathroom mirror in our home, there is almost nothing that we didn't like about it. Our previous bathroom mirror was drab and tired (it was what came with the house originally), so needless to say, we were excited to replace it. We liked how well the new mirror was packaged—it was super secure, with foam around the edges to ensure it didn’t slip and slide during shipping.

The mirror came with simple-to-read instructions and a French-style mounting bracket, which we noted was one of the easiest things we’ve ever installed on any of our walls. The mirror sat beautifully level and perfectly flush with extremely clear glass and a unique rubber frame, which looked chic and made the mirror sit extra securely.

Though it lacks special features like storage or lighting, we think it’s visually striking and greatly upgraded our bathroom. We think that the quality of this mirror far exceeds its modest price, at less than $100 (honestly, we’d consider paying more!)

If you’re looking to upgrade your bathroom mirror for under $50, we recommend the Dumos Vanity Mirror. We think the simple, sleek design will make it outlast the many decor and style changes your home goes through. We’re coining this one, the LBM (or “little black mirror"), since it really goes with anything.

Our previous mirror was quite small, which brings us to one of our favorite features of this mirror: the large surface area. We love the minimalistic frame and large glass portion that provides plenty of space to get ready and do our morning skincare.

The instructions were very simple (and included pictures, which was a plus). But after installing, we do think the instructions could use some more information (like what size drill bit to use for the anchors).

We cleaned the mirror according to the instructions provided, and it works great. Since it has a metal frame, avoid spraying anything on it directly so you don’t cause discoloration.

Good bathroom lighting can be lacking, which is why the Chrystal LED Frameless Mirror is an excellent option to brighten things up. This mirror took our bathroom to luxurious heights with anti-fog features and a beautiful backlight. We loved getting ready after a steaming shower more than ever before.

This mirror comes assembled, but you do have to plug it in, so make sure you have an outlet nearby before purchasing. Besides that, we found the setup very easy, and the instructions were clear.To turn on the light, you simply tap the button on the mirror. Tapping it multiple times changes the light temperature from cool to warm, so you can choose the right fit for your getting-ready space.

One thing we especially love about this mirror is how securely it sits on the wall. We hung it up in our bathroom on a tiled wall (drilling into studs for added security) and are confident it’ll stay tight for a long time. We didn’t notice any damage, warping, or bowing to the mirror or its back panel during testing.

One note: this mirror doesn’t sit flush to the wall due to its backlight features. However, it didn’t bother us too much—it only comes off the wall about a quarter of an inch, maybe less.

Coming in under $150 and in multiple sizes, the Wrought Studio Amoriah Frameless Mirror is just what your bathroom needs if you’re seeking a sleek, minimalistic mirror. During testing, we were shocked by how much we loved this frameless option, especially because the beveled edge reflected light and made our room feel bigger and brighter.

The mirror arrived with the hanging hardware and instructions taped to the back, and the instructions included a paper ruler (we loved this helpful detail for precise installation). Installation went perfectly on the first try, thanks to the clear, easy-to-follow instructions. We like that this mirror allows you to mount it horizontally or vertically to fit any space.

Ditching the frame makes this mirror perfect for tight-squeeze bathrooms and won’t detract from your other bathroom finishes. It was super secure on the wall thanks to rubber bumpers on the back (so smart!), and the glass didn’t make us look distorted at all.

One minor drawback we found was that cleaning this mirror can be difficult. Without a frame, you can inadvertently spray cleaner on the wall. However, the cleaner we used didn’t scratch or damage the glass, which we were happy to see.

Our favorite mirror design, hands down, went to the West Elm Pivot Mirror.During testing, it wowed us with its gorgeous, high-quality frame and unique ability to tilt and angle the mirror toward you.

The mirror assembly was easy, and the instructions were clear (there’s even an adjoining video to help with assembly). The hardest part was positioning the mirror and installing the brackets, but with a friend to help, this part wasn’t too much trouble.

We didn’t notice any warping or bowing in the glass—it was crystal clear, and the great quality was obvious. The tilt is fun as well. It came in handy while we were getting ready to get a closer look, and we loved the uniqueness of this feature. Cleaning the mirror was a breeze, too—using a compatible glass cleaner, nothing was scratched or stained.

We do wish that for the price, it included a special feature like lighting, but this isn’t a deal-breaker for us. We still love the high-design finish it gave our space (a big upgrade from our previous scratched-up mirror).

Final Verdict

Our favorite bathroom mirror is the Better Bevel Rubber Framed Bathroom Mirror. We had no critiques of this beautiful round mirror and loved the easy installation and secure mounting. If you’re looking for something rectangular and sleek, go for our best value option, the Dumos Black Metal Framed Mirror.

If you have double vanities, you can either use one long rectangular mirror to create the illusion of more space or install two identical mirrors side by side to create distinct zones for each sink.
