How important is a vanity mirror

Apart from the usual need to use the vanity mirror when brushing one’s teeth, applying makeup, shaving, hair grooming, etc., a vanity mirror can serve as a self-inspection tool or sometimes a relaxation fixture as well. People have admitted to going inside the bathroom, facing the vanity and just taking deep breaths to calm them down or just to take a time out from chores, stress, etc. Psychologists have agreed that indeed a vanity mirror can be an agent of meditation or introspection.

This is why it is important to have an appropriate, durable and elegant vanity mirror in your bathroom.
