Need help with mirrors above double sink in master bath

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago



So I recently redid my master bath and in doing so added a dual vanity. The problem is we have a pitched roof so the ability to have two over sink mirror is far more difficult. I decided to go with two over sink yet with one cut to accommodate the angle of the pitched roof. The out come has one vertical rectangle above the left sink and another over the right with the right top corner sliced to accommodate the pitch. Now that they're on the wall I feel like it looks a bit funny. Should I have one center mirror? Circular? Rectangle? I could use some advice.

    Could you post a picture of the room, please?

    Solid mirror wall was OUT but now it's back IN and is the perfect choice for this wall. It will look very custom and enhance rather than detract from the pitch of the ceiling.

    Have you considered 2 round or oval mirrors in a smaller scale?

    I wouldn't mind seeing the same angle on the left as is on the right with one solid mirror though.

    I would do one big rectangular mirror-as big as it can be, hanging horizontally, and still float in the space. And I would not fill the wall, and hide all that beautiful tile!

    When you say one big rectangular mirror, you would not have it cut to follow the lines of the ceiling? Thanks for all the great insight from everyone!

    I'm guessing Colorsmith means something like this, but I'm not sure there's room. I'd vote for one centered circular mirror.

    Thanks for the ideas! I'm still so torn!! Individual ovals or one big rectangle, as if the mirrors were one in the picture above?

    I like the mirrors as you've shown in your photo. It accentuates an interesting angle. But the question is...can the person who gets assigned that sink see in the mirror OK?

    Would be a little more unconventional, but you could do a swing arm makeup mirror over the angled side and a more overstated framed mirror on the full side.

    Joanie brings up the good point of function and how you use the vanity and mirrors. If individual mirrors are necessary, and if the slanted mirror is functional, I agree you can leave as is. The more I looked at them, the less I noticed the slant.

    I also think it would be a shame to cover up the tile with a rectangular mirror that extends over both sinks. If you opt for one mirror, I still think a circle would be more pleasing and would highlight, not cover up, your lovely tilework.

    I think a large rectangle framed mirror. The frame should have a hammered texture black and silver would look best. The mirrors left as is doubles the architectural elements of the ceiling rake.

    Use two mirrors, but cut them TALL and narrow, continuing up to the ceiling. It will give you both function and a great effect.

    I like the look you have now with the two mirrors.

    I agree with hatetoshop, I think the bathroom look very nice. I actually like that the right hand mirror almost highlights the pitch of the roof.

    IMO one mirror should extend to the wall and down to the top of the vanity because this is a small space and it should be made to seem as large as possible. Yes I know the water will splash on the mirror, but we've done this type of installation for years because it looks good and expands the space visually.

    Where are the lights? Who can do anything in the dark corner?

    We like the idea of one big mirror. Having two separate ones looks a bit odd with the shape of the second one. The example shown by BeverlyFLADeziner seems to make it all look more uniform. Would love to see what you decided to when you finish the space. Best of luck. :-)

    love Beverly's idea -- it looks great!

    Before getting a new mirror and having it cut, I think I might purchase/try out two small oval mirrors or two narrow ones that start low, that you could return. You could also add a nice sconce in the middle. May feel more balanced and not hide your beautiful wall tile.

    If you select oval or rectangular mirrors and have them mounted at the same height, I doubt they will be high enough to see yourself in the mirrors.

    Mirrors glued to the drywall without a picture frame is dated. The trend is picture frame type mirrors hung on the wall like a picture. One framed mirror for each lav. The comment made a mirror should be cut skinny and tall is what I was trying to explain.

    How about one larger mirror in the middle. When you are using the sink, you rarely have to be in front of a mirror and when a mirror is required for shaving, a small swing out mirror attached to the slanted wall would work. When makeup is being applied, it's usually from the middle area.

    I think one big rectangular piece instead of 2 helps to not focus on the corner where its cut at an angle. I think some extra lighting would also help as the right side of the sink looks darker then the left. The overall color combinations look great though. Its always tougher when the roof gets in the way, but you still have plenty of space there.

    I love what you have done here already but I think you should continue the mirror on the pitch roof side onto the ceiling...keeping the same rectangle of course. It would be a great look and complete the rectangle shape.

    Old post from 2015 but I wonder what they went with.
