Bathroom mirror help

9 years ago

I'm trying to determine what size mirror to put on the back wall over the sink. Should we put a large mirror that covers most of the wall between the linen cabinet and the corner of the wall, or should we get a smaller one that covers the area over the sink? If we use a large mirror, should we move the vanity light to be centered over the mirror? We have another vanity on a different wall (see pic second pic) that we will put a framed mirror above as well but we have that one figured out. Also, how thick should the frame for the mirror be? Please help.

Show what mirror you've figured to use above other sink.

Does room seem to need a focal feature? What if the center diagonal little wall had something different - or will your planned mirror frame grab attention enough?

I would keep the light, mirror and sink all centred together... look for a mirror that has some pizzazz!... maybe a round one about 20-24" diameter as your sink doesn't look really big.

More photos of the whole space would help, but I would do a large full wall to wall mirror and extend it above the light fixtures to bottom of the crown molding of the "tower". The mirror people can put a hole in the mirror for the fixture and it would sit on the mirror. A beveled mirror would be best because it bounces some light around. That would solve any "centering" issues. I would put it all around the side wall as well. That type mirror is not very expensive and small mirrors can get pricey too. Here is one I did last year. We were still finishing this when this photo was taken but there was a tower on the left side of this vanity area, and we went up and around it too.

Here is a shot of the other side vanity with mirror up to just under the crown molding, but with the fixture on top of the mirror. It also reflects the fixture and light and really multiplies the light which is usually very beneficial in a bathroom. Hope that helps!
