What goes above the counter and around the faucet before I answer.

Not planning a backsplash at the moment. Similar to our last master bath with no backsplash, but with pendants not sconces.

The vanity is 6’ wide.

Can you outline where you want the mirror with painter's tape?

Songbird, I can do whatever size or shape I want, framed or frameless. I honestly just hadn’t turned my mine to it yet. Too many decisions. Here are a few of my inspiration pics, most have larger mirrors.

Thanks Pal. Backsplash that matches or the same material? The counter (and the shower base and two walls) are Silestone honed Charcoal Soapstone. Should be easy to match.

Would you have the mirror extend all the way to the door frame or end at the edge of the vanity? There is about 6” from the edge of the vanity to door frame.

Part of the reason I want a larger mirror is to reflect the shower wall opposite the mirror, which will look like this (goes in this week!!):

That is one gorgeous shower wall! I also love your second inspiration pic, but it won't reflect the shower wall as well as Pal's suggestion. I think extending the mirror to the door frame will look odd.

ETA: This thread made me glad I stopped in on this forum!

From your inspiration pics, the bigger mirrors covering most of the wall look better to me. Some of those mirrors look too high to be practical but I guess it all depends on how tall you are and how you use your bathroom vanity.

What kind of window covering are you planning? Where will you place hand
towels? Where is the light switch located? Will you ever want an electrical
plug on the side of the vanity near the door? I see lots of options,
just giving you some things to think about in regards the mirror size
and placement.

Id say the same material for the backsplash.

I would bring it as high as the door opening, not to the top of the trim, and definitely not to the ceiling when there's a doorway in close proximity. To the ceiling is fine for an alcove. I'd also consider leaving an inch or two from the countertop edge on both sides to show some wall color on the left and to balance it out with the right side.

Update: backsplash in, looks amazing. Thanks again for the advice and help with my question. Mirror will go in next week.

I feel like the mirror needs to run to the three boundaries that make sense: the top of the backsplash, the ceiling and the left wall. I'm assuming the electrical gets changed to black.

That massive mirror does not look like a contemporary design.

I beg to differ.

Please tell me about the shower wall! what is it made out of? Is it some kind of custom plaster with waterproofing over it? It's gorgeous!

It's a vinyl wall material.

Thank you Pal! Definitely looking into this :-) i didn't know it could be turned into art

Melle - it is from an Italian wallpaper company. The product is applied much like regular wall paper, then various coats of finish are painted over it to waterproof it. The vinyl paper can go over dry wall but my constructor was too nervous and installed waterproof kerdiboard (or something like that, sorry, forget the correct name). We should have ours completed and installed next week, the picture I posted was an inspiration pic. Here is the company:

Great pictures Pal. Very helpful and modern...

Your bathroom is going to be amazing. I love the way you handled the backslash -- beautiful and practical. I agree a large wall mirror can be very contemporary and enhance the entire space.

There are other options of course. I just think the large float mirror transcends particular styles and can work with anything from very traditional to current contemporary.
