Fixer Upper: Why Joanna Gaines Loves To Add Rotating Mirrors To A Bathroom

Do you ever struggle to get the right angle in the mirror to finish a hairstyle, apply cosmetics and toiletries, or get that superior mirror selfie? While most bathrooms are fitted with a standard mirror that hangs against the wall over your sink, it's never a bad idea to get creative with your washroom designs. Maybe you're trying to make the most of a small bathroom, or you just need different angles when using the mirror. Joanna Gaines once again comes through with a clever trick that solves the problem with little stress or financial burden. The HGTV star recommends rotating mirrors, giving you what you need to make the most out of your morning and evening routines.

Not only can these mirrors help make your bathroom time more efficient, but they can also make the space more functional. This is especially true if your sink is connected to one wall, limiting the amount of directional space you have with your mirror. While you might be able to swivel and turn on one side, you are blocked by a wall on the other, and therefore do not have as much space to see different angles.

For this reason and to add more functionality to bathrooms, Gaines noted in Fixer Upper Season 3 that she loved the rotating mirror they incorporated in one master bathroom. These designs can still sit flush against the wall, so you're not taking away from the style or clean aesthetic of your bathroom, only adding practicality. You will save space, too, thanks to the sleek options like Pottery Barn's Pivot Mirror ($449). These still look classy and can match a variety of themes, with the bonus of a more accessible piece to suit everyone who uses it and all of their necessary angles.

This clever bathroom renovation tip by Gaines is easier than renovating the entire space and moving the mirror, plus it will save money. If your mirror is already in an awkward spot within your washroom, replace it with a rotating option instead. Gaines is always a big fan of functional decor, and this bathroom design tip is both helpful and easy to incorporate, which is why this trick could be worth a try.
