NEED HELP Bathroom remodel

7 years ago

I purchased mostly everything so far - the sink and tub faucets are black and the vanity (24 inches) is grey (The second photo of the vanity is a more accurate color of the vanity- also this photo was taken from someone in the comments, I’m still waiting for the vanity to be deliverEd). I also purchased the bathroom lighting and I want to get a mirror that will go - I kinda wanna find something with a brass finish similiar to the light fixture. I’m not apposed to a medicine cabinet as long as it fits the esthetic. I’ve attached photos of what I have now. I’m really not trying to go over $300. And even that’s a stretch for me. Thanks guys for the help!!

    So your question is what mirror would look right. Well that should be an easy job. If you want the finish of your faucet, there might even be an accessory from your faucet brand. Have you looked?

    Here is a mirror in matte black:

    Don't know the quality, and there are no reviews on the site.

    another one, more expensive from Robern:

    Mirror finish?

    Towel Bars finish?

    Toilet Paper Holder Finish?

    While I like the looks of those bulbs, you will need more light than that if you want to put makeup on in that bathroom. Function before beauty!

    @felizlady brings up a great point about illumination. Have you the option for side sconces? While I don't object to the mixed metals, the mockup that is 2 posts above is not winning me over. The styles don't quite go together (faucet and light). The light is very sharp and crisp, while the faucet and shower set has lots of soft curves.

    Black plumbing fixtures isn’t the best idea if you don’t want to redo again very shortly when they begin scratching up and showing it.

    @enduring I can see what u mean about the light fixture I’ll definitely look at it again once it’s arrived in the mail. Also there’s not enough room for side scones being that the vanity which is only 24 inches is adjacent to a wall and I would have to get a real skinny mirror.

    @felizlady there’s going to be recessed lighting in the bathroom so I think there will be sufficient lighting. So I think having the one light fixture above the mirror is ok?

    @BeverlyFLADesziner I’m debating on the finish of the mirror - if I should go with a matte black like the fixtures or a brass frame with similar finish to the light fixture. I havent purchased any towel bar or Toilet paper holder as of yet but I would appreciate any suggestions within a reasonable pric. Thanks for all the suggestions guys!


    also it’s the bathroom in the house but it’s also quite small so I’ve been thinking it’s best to find a medicine cabinet for storage would be best. Here’s one that I found, let me know what you guys think or if you find any other mirrors that work. Thanks again!

    @Green Designs I don’t think returning the fixtures is feasible for me as I’ve already handed off to the plumber. I do like the look of the dark fixtures not sure what to say about the scratching up and stuff. any tips.

    Update on the bathroom. So the plan is to get a shower curtain to keep the space feeling large and open. The sink isn't installed so that’s y the cabinet looks off centered. What do you think guys?

    Sorry the mirror stays its a medicine cabinet

  • 7 years ago

    Very Home Depotey.


    The vanity can’t be shoved against the wall like that. Any freestanding vanity needs to actually be freestanding, and to have at least 4” between it and the wall. You don’t have the room to do that. You need a different, built in vanity, with a proper filler against the wall.

    Hi the vanity isnt going to stay like that its not actually installed so the cabinet is not going to be butting up against the wall like that so it actually is freestanding just not in its final position at the moment

    hope that make sense

    You can do framed round mirror or a rounded corner rectangle mirror in the bathroom in matte black to complement the space. Even if you choose a medicine cabinet, you can Add A Frame to it using one of our framing kits to give you the custom look without sacrificing function.
