Which mirror matches a James Martin vanity?
A James Martin mirror that shares its series name with a James Martin vanity is the simplest match, because the wood tone, paint color and frame style come from the same design. Bristol, Brittany, Bellshire, Addison, Kinnsden, Portland, Solene, Gracyn, Malibu and Metropolitan mirrors all have vanity series of the same name in bathroom vanities. The Kinnsden mirror is described as made to match the Kinnsden vanities, and the Solene mirror matches the Solene vanity in Seaside Oak. Where a vanity has no mirror of its own name, a mirror in the same finish, such as a Bright White Glenbrooke over a Bright White cabinet, keeps the color consistent.
Rectangular wood mirrors
Rectangular wood vanity mirrors offer the widest range of frame styles, and the frame detail sets the look. Glenbrooke comes in 26, 30, 36 and 48 inch widths with 1 inch bevel cut glass, in finishes including Bright White, Black Onyx, Burnished Mahogany, Urban Gray, Country Oak and Whitewashed Walnut. Brittany is a 22 inch solid poplar mirror with stepped, pilaster-style corners, in colors including Victory Blue. Bristol, in 29 and 44 inch widths, has a subtle beaded inner edge in finishes such as Sage Green, Saddle Brown and Silver Gray. Bellshire adds linear carvings along the sides in Bright White or Honey Oak, Kinnsden frames the glass with tapered, baluster-shaped spindles and gently curved top and bottom rails in Sable Oak or Weathered Oak, Weston is a smooth silver-gray poplar frame, Metropolitan is a 44 inch tall frame in a Silver Oak finish over white oak veneers, and Addison brings a mid-century line in Acacia or Glossy White up to 48 inches. Portland in Whitewashed Walnut has a rustic, simple frame, and Solene sets a natural cane inset in White Oak for a coastal look.
Round and oval vanity mirrors
Round vanity mirrors soften a bathroom full of straight lines, from square tile to a rectangular cabinet. Malibu is a 26 inch round in Honey Alder with a thick molded frame. Adelese is a 32 inch round in Bright White with a scalloped edge around beveled glass. Callie at 30 inches is a round frame of hand-inlaid white mother of pearl, and the 26 inch Callie takes the same mother of pearl into a rectangle. Terra has a sculpted gesso frame with a sand-dune texture in a limestone finish, and Platform is a round mirror with a shelf built into the bottom of the frame. Esca sets round beveled glass inside an open oval frame in Natural or Mid-Century Walnut, for a layered, organic outline.
Arched, octagon and sunburst frames
Arched, octagon and sculpted frames give a vanity wall a distinct outline. Gracyn is a rectangular mirror with an arched top in sand-blasted ash, in Coastal Driftwood or Sable, which brings out the grain of the wood. The 24 inch Rohe is a vertical octagon in a slim stainless steel frame, and Tangent is a 30 inch octagon wrapped in Delft Blue faux shagreen. Rowyn has a softly waved wood frame in Natural or Carbon Oak, and Soleil is a 36 inch sunburst in matte white with a gold border.
Metal frames and faucet finishes
A metal-framed mirror ties to the faucet and hardware instead of the cabinet, which helps in a bathroom that pairs a painted or wood vanity with metal fixtures. Rohe is a stainless steel line in Champagne Brass, Matte Black and Satin Nickel, made as an octagon at 24 inches, a round at 30 inches and a rectangle at 26, 36 and 48 inches. Boston is a 30 inch stainless steel frame with Art Deco fretwork in Brushed Nickel, Matte Black or Radiant Gold, and Platform comes in Radiant Gold or Modern Iron. Brass and gold frames warm up a white or wood vanity, matte black gives a crisp outline against a light wall, and nickel stays quiet beside chrome or nickel faucets.
Moisture-resistant frames and beveled glass
A bathroom mirror lives with steam every day, and the James Martin descriptions call out the materials chosen for it. Rohe, Boston and Platform are stainless steel frames described as moisture resistant, Addison is described as moisture-resistant construction, Bristol is finished with an undercoat for moisture and UV resistance, and Solene has a moisture-resistant MDF backing. Many of the wood and metal frames hold glass with a 1 inch bevel, an edge ground at an angle that frames the reflection. James Martin mirrors such as Weston, Rowyn, Portland and Esca are also described for entryways, hallways and bedrooms. The full brand range is in James Martin.
