Wall mirror

This refers to any mirror that is mounted on a bathroom wall. For your larger bathroom, you can go for whatever size and shape that you like and or match your interior décor. Wall mirrors can come with frames to offer a pop of color or distinct material to contrast or complement to your décor or frameless.
But before you choose a larger wall mirror for your bathroom, think about the installation.
Full-Length Mirror
This type of mirror will allow plenty of light into your bathroom. You can install it horizontally to add a reflective surface to your décor without giving away your style. Alternatively, you can install your full-length mirror diagonally from a vanity mirror if you want to create an illusion of ample space and be able to see your whole body from head to toe.
Decorative mirrors
Though they are technically wall mirrors, decorative mirrors tend to add more value to the bathroom than wall mirrors. They come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, including exciting design features like the sun, birds, flowers, or geometric shapes that are not rectangular or square.
Decorative mirrors also may include exciting frames that add some ornate, contemporary touch to your space.
Floor mirror
This type of mirror is usually created with an independent frame and so don’t need installation other than unfolding and hanging them wherever you wish. Floor mirrors can also be angled, which can help make the ceiling in your bathroom appear higher. Because of the angles, the mirrors also tend to have a slimming effect on reflection.
Most of the time, you may find floor mirrors fitted with some ornate designs, which can be suitable if you have a soaker tub.
Floor mirrors are usually more versatile compared to other bathroom mirrors and are easy to move around. Traditional full-mirrors, floor mirrors can also be placed diagonally opposite a bathroom window or another mirror.
Pivot mirror

Some pivot mirrors are two-sided with a standard traditional mirror surface on one side and a magnified surface on the other side.
