You use it to check yourself in the morning, to apply creams or moisturizer, to groom, etc. Most bathrooms are small and narrow and one way to make it look spacious i by hanging a mirror behind the sink. If the sink is near a window, much better since the mirror can bounce off light coming from outside. Bathroom mirrors are available in different designs, styles, shapes, and sizes. When choosing a bathroom mirror, consider the style of the bathroom so you can install a mirror that blends right in the design.
