A lighted vanity mirror in brass combines functionality with elegant, vintage-inspired aesthetics. Here are some key features and ideas to consider when choosing or styling one:
Brass Finish – Opt for polished, satin, or antique brass for a luxe look that complements various decor styles (traditional, Art Deco, Hollywood Regency, or modern glam).
Lighting Type –
LED Backlighting (energy-efficient, cool to touch)
Incandescent Bulbs (warmer glow, vintage feel)
Dimmable Options (adjustable brightness for makeup application)
Magnification – Many vanity mirrors include a 5x-10x magnification side for precision grooming.
Mounting Style –
Wall-mounted (saves space, ideal for bathrooms or dressing areas)
Tabletop/Desk Mirror (portable, often with a weighted base)
Flip-Up Mirror (attached to a dresser or vanity table)
Pair with a brass-framed vanity table or acrylic desk for contrast.
Complement with velvet stools, crystal perfume bottles, or marble trays for a glamorous touch.
Use warm white bulbs (2700K-3000K) for flattering, natural-looking light.
