How does it feel in your bathroom?

Warm or cold?

Small or large?

Light or dark?

If your answers came out on the cold, small, dark end of the spectrum there may well be some room for improvement. It is often the bathroom that gets the rough treatment when house builders are allocating space in the home, as bathroom space is sacrificed to allow for more of it in the other rooms. In a scenario like this, the bathroom is a less a place to relax and more a place to jump in for a quick shower before heading elsewhere. Tikamoon’s philosophy is that everybody should be able to transform their bathroom into a place where they can rest and revitalise and the space should not be constraint in achieving this goal.

The trick to improving the light, warmth and space in your bathroom rests largely around your use of mirrors. The bathroom mirror should not only  be seen as a tool to help you get ready in a morning, it is also a way to enhance a room. By placing a large mirror or a combination of mirrors strategically in your bathroom, you will be able to bring more light into the room, and perhaps more importantly, the illusion of space.

One commonly found practice, is placing a small mirror on a wall mounted cabinet which is at head height. While this might seem like a convenient and space saving way to organise the space on closer inspection it is not because it restricts the amount of light than can be reflected around the room. A better solution is to place a mirror on the wall, fix some wall mounted shelves on the walls near to the mirror, and have a spacious solid wood vanity cabinet at leg level. This arrangement serves the dual purpose of allowing you to deploy a larger mirror, which increases the amount of light being reflected around the room and accentuate the depth of the room at head height by keeping this height level clutter free.

Tikamoon have a number of different mirror shapes and sizes that are fit for the purpose. Don’t be afraid to combine a number of smaller mirrors together to form a unique, combined reflective surface.
