By default, a mirrored ceiling in a bathroom is considered a non-standard solution for creating visual effects of increasing space. The vast majority of experts believe that the upper level in the bathroom should be matte white, not attracting undue attention, but only highlighting the decorative properties of the wall cladding.
Therefore, a limited number of waterproof claddings have a mirror coating - polystyrene sheets, self-adhesive, aluminum slats, square ceiling panels, stretched PVC sheets. Each of these materials uses its own installation technology.
Double effect
If the bathroom space allows, then why not use two mirrors at once. It is logical to place them above each washbasin, but it is not necessary - two mirrors above one sink can look no less stylish.
Why choose mirror design?
If we compare all ceiling designs, then the mirror ceiling occupies one of the leading positions, since it is not only practical in everyday life, but also incredibly stylish. The main advantage of this design is that it is perfect for uneven or rough surfaces that require plaster. In addition, such ceilings have a number of other advantages.
- Wide range of choice . Many people are mistaken in believing that a mirror ceiling can be made in only one style. Today there are a huge number of variations that will suit any interior.
- Visual perfection. Such a ceiling will decorate the room; it will not only become the brightest element of the bathroom, but will also visually enlarge it several times.
The decorative role of a mirror ceiling
- Practicality . As already mentioned, this ceiling covering is very easy to use and does not require complex maintenance. Any dust contaminants that appear can be very easily removed using glass and mirror surface cleaner. Sometimes weekly wet and dry cleaning is enough to care for such a ceiling.
- Functional quality . This coating goes well with other elements.
- Easy installation . The mirror ceiling, as it turned out, is very easy to install. During installation, there is no need to carry out any dirty work, since there is no preparation of the floors.
- Brighter room. It is especially good to use in poorly lit rooms, since through mirroring and the use of various lamps you can achieve a maximum increase in lighting brightness.

Rate per form
In repair stores, you most often find mirrors of regular shapes in the form of a circle, rectangle, or square. But non-standard products in the form of a flower, heart, sun, drop, etc. look much more interesting and expressive.
Natural glass
For a long time, the only way to produce a material on an industrial scale with the ability to reflect light purely and without distortion was to apply amalgam to glass.
In apartments, a mirror ceiling is usually installed in the bathroom
The mirror has 100% reflective properties, but it also has disadvantages:
- Fragility. When broken, it shatters into fragments with sharp edges, which creates a risk of injury. In modern workshops, after cutting, glass is covered with a protective film, which prevents fragments from scattering when broken.
- Heavy weight. The large area mirror structure is very heavy. The load on the fastening units is high, and many profile systems are not designed for such a mass.
- To cut or drill glass, professional equipment and highly qualified craftsman are required.
- Expensive and complex installation. Natural mirror ceiling is considered an elite type of finish because of its cost.
Today they produce ready-made modules with dimensions for the Armstrong system. The mirror is available with a straight edge or beveled.
A beveled panel creates a ceiling with a “chocolate” texture
For design projects, order a mirror in individual sizes. In the workshop, employees will cut out a panel of any shape and, if desired, perform engraving.
A whole collection
The bathroom interior can become cheerful and playful thanks to a gallery of several mirrors of different shapes and sizes. This collection perfectly enlivens the wall and even the most boring, laconic decoration. To avoid the effect of crooked walls, it is better to place a mirror gallery only on one side of the room.
Mirror tiles in different sizes
The tiles covered with a mirror surface are quite easy to install and can be used to beautifully decorate a ceiling of any size.
Thanks to the use of such decorative materials, different effects can be achieved, which is possible due to different color variations implemented in certain coating models:
- bronze, with difficult to visualize reflections, but luxurious appearance;
- silver, with normal reflection of objects, without much contrast or brightness;
- graphite, with partial reflection and rich depth, blurred silhouettes.
Mirror tiles are produced by manufacturers in a large assortment, from which you can choose the best solutions for your room.
Particularly attractive and exclusive look on the ceiling is tiles with edging edges beveled inward, or beveled, but fixing them will require mandatory leveling of the surface.
Obvious suspension
It is clear that most bathroom mirrors hang on the wall, but, as a rule, the place where they touch the wall is invisible to the eye. So why not make the pendant visible? Use thick twine or wire to hang the mirror from the ceiling. This somewhat rough approach will add a noticeable flair and stylish contrast to an elegant bathroom setting. But before you implement this idea, carefully check the strength of the materials and the accuracy of the calculations in order to protect yourself as much as possible from possible troubles with the hanging mirror.
What types of mirror ceilings are there?
Today, manufacturers offer us a wide range of different mirror coatings. In order to choose the most suitable option, you should familiarize yourself with some of their properties.
Table 1. Types of ceiling structures by type of material
| Type, illustration | A comment |
Glass | Such ceilings are thin glass slabs with a coating that reflects light. These plates can have absolutely any shape, including square, rectangle, triangle. Quite often, plexiglass is used for ceiling installation, because such a material has a budget cost, but is also very light. It is worth noting that it is this type of ceiling that has the best light reflection properties. |
Polystyrene boards | This is plastic that is sold in large rolls. Before installation, it is spread out on a flat surface and left under pressure - this allows the material to straighten. Usually, on the back side of each slab there is an adhesive base, on which they are fixed to the ceiling. It is worth noting that if you choose such a material, special attention will have to be paid to the choice of devices for lighting the room, because some powerful lamps, when heated, can contribute to the deformation of polystyrene. |
Aluminum | A special feature of this type of ceiling is the presence of cut seams over the entire surface. Aluminum sheets are fixed to the ceiling using special metal slats. The advantages of such a material include ease of installation and good strength, while the disadvantages include unclear reflection. Such a canvas will have a “glossy metallic” rather than a mirror effect. |
PVC film | In this case, a polymer film is used as a mirror ceiling. Despite the cheapness of this material, its surface perfectly reflects light. One of the advantages is that this type of ceiling will be the safest, because film tension eliminates the risk of a heavy slab falling. The disadvantage is the same as with aluminum plates - the mirror effect will be incomplete. |
It is worth noting that not all types of ceilings are suitable for a specific bathroom interior, because in some cases it is necessary to fix solid sheets, and in others to create a surface from fragments like a mosaic.
Table 2. Types of mirror ceilings according to configuration features
| View | Short description |
Rack and pinion | This type of design is based on plastic plates coated with a reflective layer, which are fixed on aluminum slats. This surface may consist of several different elements. When installing, it is preferable to combine reflective fragments with metal parts. |
Cassette | This option involves creating a solid mirror ceiling. To do this, use glass tiles in the shape of a square or diamond, which are mounted on a special frame. |
Whole | The most labor-intensive and expensive type of mirror ceiling to install. Visually, the surface looks solid, and if there are seams on it, they are almost invisible. In some cases, a solid mirror sheet, previously cut for communications, is fixed to the ceiling, if necessary. |
Film | In this case, PVC film is installed using the tension method, leaving a distance from the ceiling slabs. The peculiarity is that the canvas is made for each individual case, exactly according to the size of the room. The main advantage of a mirrored stretch ceiling is its ability to withstand water pressure of up to 100 liters. This means you no longer have to worry about flooding. In order to extract water in case of a leak, the craftsmen will make just a few punctures around the perimeter of the ceiling. When the film is completely dry, it will regain its original appearance. |
Design features and installation method are not all the qualities that consumers take into account when choosing a particular ceiling option. So, for some, the fundamental criterion is reliability or low price, while for others it is ease of installation.

Types of ceilings by type of construction
You can also highlight various mirrored ceilings, which have differences in the design itself. The following four options are considered the most popular on the Russian market.
Option 1. Fittings.
Due to the structural features of this type of fasteners, there is a similarity with a standard frame for drywall. In this case, you will need to attach the metal profile to the ceiling, and the guides to the wall. All parts of the structure are fixed together with screws. The remaining space between the floors is regulated by the dimensions of the slab itself. Upon completion of the installation work, all holes between the parts of the ceiling are hidden using special fittings (usually they come in different colors, including mirror ones).
Profile for ceiling installation
Option 2. Armstrong.
This type of coating requires installation using T-shaped fasteners. This complex system includes a large number of different elements, including profiles and special corners. The appearance of such a ceiling will be slightly inferior in aesthetics compared to the previous option, but it will be quicker to install. In addition, when installed using this method, residents will still have the opportunity to gain quick access to various communications and install lamps of any type.

Option 3. Faceted.
Bevel is the name given to the cut edges on each side of the tile, which are pre-polished - this feature allows you to achieve the correct refraction of light. The ceiling bevel design is a frame that has similarities to the previous system. The slabs are fixed to the ceiling using a special adhesive base. The peculiarity of a finished ceiling is that it cannot be quickly disassembled if necessary. But it is precisely thanks to the installation of such plates that better reflection of the rays can be achieved. On average, the size of beveled slabs is about 30×30 and 40×40 centimeters. But, there are also beveled parts of unusual shapes.
Example of bevel processing of a mirror edge
Option 4. Adhesive based.
Installing ceiling tiles with special glue is a common type of installation that requires a perfectly flat surface. It is worth noting that such slabs are not applied to plaster - this way they will not last long on the ceiling. The best option would be to fix the parts to a plasterboard or plywood ceiling. There is also mirror self-adhesive paper that can be used to decorate the ceiling in a small bathroom.

Magic of light
Thanks to background lighting, the most ordinary, standard mirror will acquire a glamorous charm. You can purchase mirrors with built-in lamps, or add them directly around or on the mirror, run an LED strip... - it all depends on the style of the room and your idea. Illuminated mirrors are a mandatory attribute of actors' dressing rooms. With their help it is convenient to apply makeup and you can feel like a real star. Lighting around the mirror is a good solution for bathrooms with soft natural light.
All the pros and cons
Although mirrored ceilings are rightfully considered a unique finish, they, like other types of cladding, have their pros and cons. Let's start with the first ones:
- high moisture resistance – the mirror surface easily tolerates high humidity without losing its performance properties, therefore it is ideal for the bathroom;
A mirrored ceiling significantly expands the space of the room
- effect of expanding space - mirrors have the ability to visually enlarge rooms, which is especially beneficial in small rooms;
- the ability to create various ceiling compositions - mirror materials can be combined well with each other and combined with many other finishing options;
- easy to maintain - such ceilings can be washed with any cleaning products that do not contain abrasive substances;
- enhanced lighting - the mirror surface reflects light rays, therefore increasing the lighting of the room;
- a wide variety of designs - modern manufacturers offer a wide range of mirror materials with various external effects.
Mirrored ceiling with a pattern
There are much fewer disadvantages of mirrored ceilings, but you need to know about them:
- instability to mechanical damage - the mirror surface is quite fragile, so it can be damaged even due to minor impacts;
- high cost - the price of such finishing is much higher than traditional cladding options: plaster, plastic panels, paint;
- heavy weight - despite its visual lightness, the mirror ceiling is quite heavy, which creates inconvenience during the installation of such finishing.
Framed portrait
The frame ennobles the mirror, gives it significance and makes it a key figure in the interior. The shape and design of the frame depends on the chosen bathroom style. This could be a massive plaster or wooden molding from an old painting or a laconic plastic strip.
What to look for when purchasing materials?
When choosing one option or another, you should take into account the requirements that the mirror ceiling must meet:
- Not only the slabs, but also all fastening elements must be resistant to temperature changes, otherwise this may lead to the collapse of the ceiling;
- you should choose a surface that requires minimal maintenance, because it is on the bathroom ceiling that stains most often remain;
- It is advisable to purchase a lightweight structure, especially when installing it on a not very reliable ceiling (for example, in an old building);
- You need to choose only high-quality materials, because under the influence of high temperatures, the ceiling can release harmful substances that pose a danger to human health.
It is necessary to choose only high-quality materials
On the whole wall
Typically, the size of a standard mirror is the same as or slightly larger than the width of the sink. But in small bathrooms, large mirrors or even walls are very relevant - they help to visually increase space and lighting.
Not for walls or floors
All women know that if you forget to put a mirror in your purse, you are more likely to end up in an unpleasant situation. For example, if a speck of dust gets into your eyes, you can accidentally ruin your makeup, your hair can suddenly be hopelessly ruined by the wind, your beret can come in at the most inopportune moment - only a mirror can save you. It is a source of self-confidence. Men most often try to dispute this statement, using only a comb and a handkerchief.
Scientists have their own opinion about this thing. They established absolutely that it is rational to create a room with crooked mirrors, but not a mirror room. Mirrors can get on your nerves. So you need to use them carefully to create a unique interior design.
It should be noted that large mirrors are often installed in public places. A wall of them, for example, is a ubiquitous element in gyms.
In order for the design of your home to be delightful, extraordinary, charming, and the room to be truly cozy, you still have to try. It’s better to spend a little more time creating a sketch, thinking everything through carefully, than to act at random and end up realizing that you still don’t like the new design.
Some people like to go to the gym, or don’t feel the need to do so, while others hate working out, but understand that they need to work on themselves.
In the bathroom, most often there is one mirror. This is a standard, a classic way of design, traditional. It hangs on the wall or the cabinet has mirrored doors. The mirror floor is easy to break. So it turns out that it is best to make the ceiling mirrored.
Fun mosaic
Mosaic products always look very original and beautiful. Multi-colored pieces of glass or ceramic reflect light expressively, visibly enlivening everything around. If you still have tiles after the renovation, chop them into small pieces and decorate the frame for the bathroom mirror with them. In color and style it will match the decoration of the entire room.
Installing a glass ceiling using the Armstrong system
Installation of a mirror ceiling is not particularly difficult, and the work can be carried out even by a person who is doing the repairs himself for the first time. First you need to prepare the following materials and tools:
- mirror plates;
- metal profiles;
- lamps (recessed);
- dowels and other fasteners;
- glass cutter;
- a simple pencil;
- tape measure or laser level.

Laser level
Step-by-step instruction
Step one: preparing the base. The ceiling surface in this case does not require any special preparation, but it is still necessary to take into account that the slabs are heavy. That is why you will need to check the strength of the ceiling; if there are any cracks, it is recommended to eliminate them.
Eliminating ceiling defects
Step two: mark the attachment points. It is necessary to distribute the places where the structure is attached to the wall. Most often, about 60-70 millimeters retreat from the ceiling, because in most cases LED lamps are used for mirrored ceilings, which means this distance will be sufficient. It is better to carry out the marking procedure using a laser level, because such a device will allow you to obtain the most accurate values. If it is missing, then you can take a regular tape measure.
Sequence of markup:
- We take measurements of each corner of the bathroom and identify the lowest one.
- We measure the required distance from it, heading towards the floor.
- We make a mark with a pencil, and then attach a self-tapping screw to this place.
- We fix one end of the thread to a self-tapping screw, and then stretch it over the entire wall.
- Using a level, check the position of the thread.
- We fix the screw in the other corner and fasten the thread to it.
In the same way, you need to place markings on other bathroom walls, after which you need to “beat off” the lines along the threads and remove the screws.
Making the markings
Step three: install the frame. The slabs are mounted on T-shaped frames, which are supplied with all the necessary fasteners. The following installation sequence must be observed:
- We install the guides. Along the perimeter of the marking, it is necessary to make holes in the walls of about 4.5 centimeters for dowels. Then you can fix the guides around the entire perimeter using a screwdriver. At the joining points you will need to trim the profiles with special scissors.
- We make markings. We mark the ceiling in accordance with the cells for the slabs and lamps. Plates can have different shapes: rectangular, square, diamond-shaped.
- We fix the hangers. Metal profiles are fixed at the optimal height using hangers and anchors. They are connected to each other using a thin metal plate.
- We install profiles. First you need to lay the electricity cables. Next, we attach the profiles to the hangers through the holes. This step involves careful control of the position of the slats. To do this, you can use the level, as in the previous case.
We prepare anchors and dowels for fixing the guides

Step four: install raster lamps. When the frame is completely ready, you can begin installing electrical appliances. The lamps are fixed into cells prepared at the installation stage, just like the tiles themselves. In this situation, special attention is required when connecting the device to electrical networks. It is recommended to use a terminal block for this - such a device will protect you from cases of overheating of the wiring.
Installing lamps
Step five: install the mirror slabs on the ceiling. You can create a ceiling from a variety of tiles—some people prefer to combine glossy tiles with those with patterns on them. It is necessary to insert the slabs into cells prepared in advance for them. To avoid damaging your skin, it is better to use protective gloves. If necessary, mirror plates can be quickly separated using a glass cutter - in this case, you will again have to adhere to safety measures. It is advisable to lay the slabs on a flat surface and then draw cutting lines on them. Excess pieces of glass will need to be carefully separated into fractures.

Dreams of the sea
The marine theme is a frequent and relevant one for bathroom design. These are primarily blue, white, blue, sand shades, ship paraphernalia and, of course, shells. They can become an effective decor for a mirror. If the seafood collected during your vacation has been gathering dust on the shelf for a long time, decorate the mirror frame with it to breathe a romantic sea mood into the bathroom.
Fastening methods and necessary tools
A mirror is a fragile item that breaks easily, so its installation must be reliable and durable. You can fix the product in different ways. What tools are required for this depends on the type of work.
Design and types of mirrors, how to make a product with your own hands
Dowels and self-tapping screws are one of the most reliable fastenings; they can withstand the weight of a heavy object well. The dowels are installed in the drilled holes in the wall, then self-tapping screws are driven into them. The number of elements depends on the area of the product: the larger it is, the smaller the gaps between them should be. The recommended drilling depth is 5–7 cm. The mirror is hung at a short distance from the wall to ensure natural ventilation.
Bolts and screws are also a popular option. It is best to purchase mirrors with prepared holes. If they are not there, drill them yourself with a diamond drill, and then sand the sharp edges. The product is attached to the wall in prepared holes, the bolt heads are covered with decorative caps.
Plates are a good option for hidden fastening of canvases without frames. Steel parts are durable, resistant to mechanical stress, and can withstand heavy loads. Before hanging the product, the plates must be glued to its back. Next, drill holes in the wall and install self-tapping screws in them that will hold the plates with the mirror.
Glue, sealant - an option for “eternal” fastening, suitable for canvases weighing from 10 to 20 kg. Advantages – no need to drill holes. Procedure: level the wall to perfect condition (as before painting), install temporary supports for the mirror, degrease the wall. Apply adhesive to the back of the canvas. Having placed the piece of furniture on the supports, press it against the wall and secure it tightly. Remove the auxiliary elements after a few days. Proceed in the same way when gluing a mirror to sealant or liquid nails.
Double-sided tape - this method is suitable for small products without a frame. When choosing this method, you should pay attention to the moisture resistance of the adhesive tape, since this determines how long the mirror will hang. To attach it, the tape is cut into small pieces and glued to the fat-free back side. Having removed the protective layer from the tape, apply the mirror to the markings on the wall and fix it with your hands for better adhesion to the surface.

Eco touch
Natural materials in interior decoration are becoming more and more popular. A mirror with a frame in the form of woven tree branches is perfect for an eco-style bathroom. Choose the shape and methods of their arrangement at your own discretion. If desired, they can be painted in any shade that suits the overall style of the room. A sink countertop made of natural wood and a mat made of jute or bamboo will go well with such an eco-friendly accessory.
Features of the use of mirror ceiling structures
The production of such ceilings is carried out by companies that produce material for cassette and tension systems. Even PVC panels have a reflective surface.
Installation of mirror panels requires a T-shaped hanging structure.
The design for mirror panels consists of transverse and force profiles, hangers that can be adjusted and wall corners. This suspension system is easy to install and dismantle, which makes it very practical to use. Behind the mirror panels you can place any communications and build additional lighting areas. The result is a combined ceiling.
"Armstrong" is most often used for finishing floors of public buildings. Elements of mirrored suspended ceilings have different sizes (from 30x30 to 70x70 centimeters). At the same time, the panels can be in shades of silver, gold or bronze. As for the shape of the mirror elements, it can be rectangular and square, with a cut outer corner and a straight line. In addition to glass, plexiglass is also used in the production of panels. This makes the ceiling lighter, making it easier to install the suspended structure.
The panels can be given a special color by applying a special film to their surface. Another way to decorate a suspended glass structure is a stained glass composition.

Properties that are immediately noticeable
The two tile options proposed for consideration differ in properties, so we will dwell on this point in more detail. Regular mirror tiles are quite heavy. You will have to be careful with it when installing the ceiling. It is also worth thinking about the transportation and delivery of this material to the apartment, and either ensure careful packaging, or immediately order ten percent more than the required quantity.
Since its surface is flat, it will also have to be laid out on the ceiling as smooth as possible, which needs special care. It is advisable to take into account that the reflective effect also depends on the layout, and it is quite difficult to achieve the absence of distortion.
The mirror tile itself can be in several varieties of colors:
- glossy;
- matte;
- simply tinted;
- with a printed pattern;
- white;
- colored;
- with a real mirror.
Polystyrene tiles are lighter, practically unbreakable, and quite convenient to transport. Naturally, both have moisture-resistant properties and also have a fairly long service life. The installation could also be called easy, but it is more likely to be consistently understandable.
Advantages and disadvantages of mirror ceilings
Since aluminum reflective slats for arranging upper surfaces have very quickly become popular, they, in addition to their visual appeal, have many other advantages. These include the following points:
- Versatility . A mirror is an item that is appropriate in any environment, including rooms with high humidity that are suitable for mirrored ceilings.
- Absolutely harmless to human health , since the raw materials and coatings are environmentally friendly products.
- Huge service life , thanks to the metal base and durable decorative coating. In addition, aluminum alloys are not subject to corrosion and do not deform on their own. The color of the cladding remains unchanged for a long time, even under the influence of sunlight.
- A colossal assortment , consisting of a wide range of color possibilities with different strip sizes, which vary from 30 mm to 400 mm. This makes it possible to implement any idea in interior design.
- Easy installation work that even a beginner can handle. It is enough to have the necessary tools, installation instructions and a great desire to do everything yourself. Especially when the work needs to be done in a small room.
- The ability to hide communications as much as possible , while at the same time having free access to them. The strips are easy to install and just as easy to remove for temporary work.
- When creating a suspended multi-level structure, the slats can be placed in different directions, alternating mirror stripes with single-color or patterned ones . There are a great variety of options, so each ceiling acquires its own individuality and uniqueness.
Among other things, the mirror ceiling does not require any special care. It must be wiped periodically, like a regular mirror. Can be washed with warm water or special cleaners for mirrors.
There are few negative aspects here. Any type of contamination is clearly visible on shiny surfaces, especially under artificial lighting. However, they are removed by normal cleaning. The front surface can be easily damaged and deformed, so they require careful handling. These small negative aspects cannot spoil the aesthetic pleasure from the beautiful appearance of the sparkling ceiling and its impact on the overall impression of the updated interior.
Combined with style
Any mirror can and should serve as a full-fledged decorative element, and not just allow you to see your appearance. In this regard, frameless models are lucky - they fit into almost all styles. They are often decorated using sandblasting, when a matte, slightly rough floral or geometric pattern is applied to the surface. Engraving gives things an interesting look without changing over time.

A bathroom with a large mirror can be decorated in any style; For the mirror itself, the following decorative techniques are used:
- Bathroom in a classic style. For such an interior, choose a classic-shaped model: rectangular or oval. For framing, a smooth (straight) frame or a frame with a neat carved pattern is suitable.

- Palace luxury. Styles such as baroque or shabby chic are rare in the design of a small bathroom, and the main emphasis falls on the frame, which is decorated with stucco, carvings and gilding. In a spacious bathroom, such a mirror can be as large as desired, and it will be complemented by a painting in a similar frame and a multi-tiered “palace” chandelier.

- Country, retro, Provence. A mirror in a simple wooden frame with scuffs should have a homemade look. The decoration will be mosaic, brass, bronze or forged elements. The oval model will have a harmonious look; From rectangular ones, it is better to choose options with rounded corners.

- Minimalism, modern, loft. A model of a strict rectangular shape with a dark one-color frame or without a frame is suitable. The illumination of the mirror cloth looks good; it can be replaced with a lamp (sconce) in the appropriate style.

- High tech. The modest frame (or lack thereof) and simple shape are also appreciated here. Large mirrors in a high-tech interior are complemented by a frame made of polished stainless steel, unusual contour or LED lighting built around the perimeter.

General overview
Mirror tiles used for cladding come in two versions. As a rule, these are either tiles coated with amalgam, similar to ordinary mirrors, or polystyrene panels, with less reflectivity. Tension suspended structures, where PVC film is coated with mirror paint, cannot be discounted. But in fact, the first two options are more often used, due to the greater reliability of the reflection.
To provide more realistic information about this material, based on the opinions of experts and professionals, let’s take a closer look at what mirrored ceiling tiles are. Its main difference from the wall one is in the thickness of the slabs themselves, which are made somewhat thinner. It comes in different configurations - rectangular, rhombic, square. Some originals, not being superstitious citizens, can even lay it out in mosaics, that is, not in pieces even at the edges, but as if broken, not having the same shape. But these are rather exceptions, although they look quite unusual.
