Small bathroom - have three walls of mirrors?

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

We have a 5 ft x 5 ft really small bath room, which we are considering to add (full size) mirrors on three walls (above vanity backsplash of course) to make it look bigger (see attached photo - mirrors are considered to add on the three walls with red line). What's the pros and cons with this approach (three walls of mirrors)? Thoughts or comments? Thanks!

Wasn't there a part of that show "what not to wear" where they put the women in a mirrored box so they could see how horrible they looked in their clothes? I think it's a bad idea. One large wall mirror should do the job:

I think it will be overkill. You run the risk of having it feel like you are in the funhouse at the state fair. One decent size mirror and good lighting will serve you better.

I just visited a home where the guest powder room was completely mirrored. OMG I was very uncomfortable. Think about what is reflected when you are using the room and if you are comfortable with that. Good luck.

Exactly! I never find a small room to feel bigger when you add wall sized mirror. But, that said, in a small space a mirror and reflect light. I agree with Kudz. One mirror will do the trick.

I think one big mirror would be your best option.

Our bathrooms have mirrors surrounding the alcove vanities. The side mirrors only extend to the end of the vanity. It's great to see behind your head for styling, bounces lights and enlarges the appearance of the room.
