FORGOTTEN HISTORY: This suspended mirror trend might just answer your bathroom s biggest layout problems and look good while doing it | History Defined

Mirror, mirror on the... wall, right? Where else is there for a bathroom mirror to hang but on the wall above a sink? Yes, maybe you have a full-length style, but still, it's usually mounted to the wall. I guess that's why seeing so many suspended mirrors in bathrooms lately has caught my attention. It's not a typical design you'd think to do, but is there a reason for that?

There's no argument that a bathroom mirror suspended from the ceiling makes for a show-stopping focal point, but how practical is it? "Sometimes when you see these very cool designs, clients think, yeah, that's nice, but how does this relate to me?" London-based interior designer, Juliana Custers, tells me. She recently suspended a bathroom mirror in a family home, and, "Funnily enough, after seeing this bathroom, a lot of clients have requested them. I think because it’s a real family home for real people, a suspended mirror becomes more feasible and less impractical."
