Help me pick a mirror for my powder bath

10 years ago

Kitchen Remodel · More Info

I am stuck. What shape and color mirror would you put in this powder bath?

1. Rectangle or Oval

2. Frame or no frame

3. If I use a frame, would I match the gold sconces or the bronze faucets?

The space is 28.5" wide between the 2 boxes and 54 " high from countertop to ceiling.

The Marble is white with grey veining (statuary).

Thanks in advance!

    Would this mirror look ok?

    Definitely a mirror with shape...oval is perfect. Since everything around the mirror area is a rectangle...sink/ light fixtures etc. it would be good to breakup the monotony of all the "right angles" with a soft oval or fluid shape. It will soften this "hard looking" area. A Venetian mirror would look fabulous here....and be a juxtaposition to the contemporary look as well as unexpected. Also, you wouldn't need to worry about frame color.

    I would choose a tall rectangle framed mirror there.

    Do you have a chandelier ? I like these 2 if sizing is right.

    Do any of these look ok?

    I think a frameless oval mirror would work well since you have a strong wall color and sconces.

    this is what I was thinking. simple, classic oval mirror. :)

    I like Lindsey's idea of frameless rather than worrying about matching either metal. I think you could go oval or rectangular, depending on your preference. Just make sure you have enough mirror to not cut off the view you need, as you don't want to lose function. A round (circular as opposed to oval) mirror might limit viewing area too much.

    Don't do frameless. You have such a glam gorgeous room. You will lose it with frameless that's just boring and drab. I would def go with gold and I do prefer oval rather than round. But I made mockups so you can envision the color. I def would go with gold. Who cares if it's not the exact gold finish. Be elegant and glam it out!

    I think Kathy Knack had a great idea with going Venetian. That would definitely work as well.

    I wouldn't go with round - many round mirrors will be too wide for the space. I think something tall and rectangular likely the way to go.

    gold oval

    I might suggest something like a rococo/Hollywood glam framed mirror, either in gold or a wonderful high gloss color, if you're game! It could be a nice relief from all the straight edges and would totally relate to the marble. IMHO

    I am glad for photos - cause I liked simple unframed and framed....find a mirror with chunky mirrored frame that echoes the shapes ...it's an 'either'!

    some other possibilities (although a few I think could have a little more height)

    This is the chunky mirrored frame -- has just a little design to it. Not too plain.

    Just make sure whatever you get can be hung well above the backsplash height. If the toilet is opposite the sink. I made that mistake, and I really hated that reflection every day!

    I think we have a winner. Beverly, where did you find them?

  • 10 years ago

    so many great choices!!! but that last wayfair mirror might just be perfect! There is this closet Hollywood-glam designer inside of me that my husband quickly shames back into her 'closet" so it's funny that you all have identified that Iron Ore painted powder bath as having a Hollywood Glam look. And, if the gold frame is too much for my husband, then I will just go for the beveled, mirror-frame instead. It is a terrific way to highlight that space as well.

    Thanks everyone and I promise to post my selection next week!

    ***Ellon Amidor, where did you find that mirror? I love it!

    ***Still Laughing @ LADEMERS advice, hysterical!

    ***Loved Angelica's vision for the space! That would have been incredible!

    ***Also, really like that Hexagon mirror!


    Did you guys like the tilt mirror?

    Make sure you check the dimensions on the mirror to make sure they fit.

  • 10 years ago

    oh crumb, that Wayfair mirror is just a tad too wide. I have 28.5 width, box to box.

    • Wayfair mirror dimensions:
    • Overall: 41" H x 29.5" W x 0.75"

    All the mirrors (including the hexagon) in my post came from West Elm. Beverly's advice to check dimensions is important - check dimensions:)

    Not sure I have this enlarged correctly, but I like the hex. Your sconce back plates are so very strong, whatever mirror you select seems to work best with flat sides so it looks like it all works together.

    I like the play of shapes with hex too. Would it cost much to have someone cut it somehow...

  • 10 years ago

    I like that Moroccan mirror too.

    I'm going to Ballards right now (online) Thanks

    I love the color and texture of your bathroom wall. In regards to the bathroom mirror, I would go with a long oval shape.

  • 9 years ago

    How about this one....Black and Gold Mirror. I feel like an oval shape would be better than round, but I love the black exterior and gold interior on that one. Very blingy looking to match your light fixtures.
