Longing for some decent lighting in your bathroom, for when you’re trying to do your makeup in what feels like total darkness at 6 o’clock on a Monday morning? I’ve found the ultimate IKEA buy that’s just the thing your dresser or bathroom is missing. The wireless EKFÄNN table mirror features integrated lights to not only illuminate your room, but also to brighten your face. This way, you can see every single strand of hair on that head of yours. You’re welcome (I think!).
This cord-free design is modern in a black colorway, while it can be moved around the house with you, as desired. Yes, this means you can even take it into your bathroom as it’s battery-powered. So, if you’re currently working with a mirrorless, dark bathroom, then you can thank me later.

This mirror works without batteries, to use as just a mirror, with one side being a 3x magnifying glass, so that you can see yourself from a closer angle. It also comes with a USB-C charger included, so that when used with IKEA’s batteries, you can easily charge it.
To use the light, you need only fit the batteries and touch the rounded button on its base. Slide your finger along one of the oblong-shaped buttons on the base to adjust the strength of its light,
Handily enough, this mirror is tiltable, so you can angle it vertically to suit the height of wherever you’re sitting. Even better? You can choose from 3 color temperatures of light – warm white, cool white, and blue white.
Other ways to use it

Other than a bathroom or dressing table, this mirror would be perfect for on-the-go use. You could take it on vacation with you, to ensure you have the perfect makeup lighting at all times. Otherwise, it’s ideal for RVs and motorhomes, which usually have smaller bathrooms and bedrooms and fewer power sockets.
Another place to use it? A tiny bathroom that is windowless — mirrors add light to a room, big or small. This one will add double the amount of light because it’s also a light, and the fact that it’s battery-powered means you can place it anywhere from a vanity unit to a console table, or even a high windowsill.
