Naked bathroom space

8 years ago

My vanity is 72" in three 24" sections (cabinet, drawers, cabinet) with an 18" sink above each cabinet and I put in a light over each sink. So, now I've realized that I've got two mirrors above each sink at 23ish wide and 24" (plus change) wide open in the middle above the drawers. I should have spaced my lights 1x1x1, or 1x2x1. But I didn't. And I don't love the cabinet between (maybe a shallow one with seeded glass, but now we're talking $$$) so what do I do with this naked middle area?

this is what I did w/mine. found the glass shelving on sale at Rejuvenation. you could do one or two.

looks like you get decent light in there. you could also do solid wood shelf, or something in the gray tone, for plants.

or a small picture and apothecary jars

the other option is to do a mirror tray with a tall orchid or some other tall item. or lay out some rolled towels and orchid like here:

too bad you didn't go w/thinner mirrors, then you could have done 3 sconces. your mirrors are just a skosh too wide

you could also shiplap that entire wall. mirrors like this would be perfect

Cover the whole width with mirror and hang your other mirrors on top of that mirror.

I would just do a large/tall orchid and call it a day. I had a faux orchid arrangement custom made for my windowless powder room. You have natural light so you can go with real, or faux if you want no maintenance.

Once you add towels and accessories it won't seem so empty.

I have a 9' vanity and did one large mirror that I built a frame to go around (all by myself) that mimics the trim style on my doors and window (2x6 headers with top crown).

Hindsight being 20/20 -- ideally, you'd have thought to build in a cabinet with shallow shelving indented into the wall or found three mirrors of equal size for this place or created a mirror wall with a single large mirror; however, since you didn't ...

Shallow shelving would likely be the most useful thing you could do with this wall. It could also add a bit of a cluttered feel to the room so if you like a more formal look, you probably wouldn't want to do that. You might, however, consider choosing shelving that is not the usual all horizontal lines -- shelving that is also art. You could get creative and build your own.
