Massive bathroom mirror/faucet/sink dilemma

4 years ago
last modified: 4 years ago

My bathroom has 2 floating vanities. I have a 6” high backsplash planned, 3 rows of small glass tiles.

My husband’s side is 66” across. We have 2 lighted medicine cabinets 24x36 that will meet in the center, one opening left and one right. He’s 6’ tall.

My side is 100” across (don’t ask). We have 3 of the lighted medicine cabinets on my side.


I’m 5’1” tall. My vanity is an inch closer to the ground, it’s not problematic at all.


We have amethyst vessel sinks that will be “sunk” into the white countertop such that our cool 8” tall faucets (NON vessel height) will work with the vessel even though it’s not technically kosher to do that. It’ll work and we love our faucets. I’ve already asked about all that on other threads and am grateful for all replies.


Here‘s the dilemma: because of my height, I can’t see into the magnifying mirror on the inside of these medicine cabinets. So we’d like to hang them low. No problem, they’re nice and tall, we have low ceilings. All good.


But if the med cabs are low enough for me to happily use them, the faucet will be too tall and the med cabinet not openable without hitting the faucet. That’s bad.


I’m thinking of arranging the 3 cabinets so the center one, which is over the sink, 6“ higher than the other two. Sort of like this photo except the other two are not smaller. These would be 3 separate cabinets, all 36” tall, so the bottoms wouldn’t be in a straight line, unlike the photo.


In addition, I’d also like to use the glass backsplash tiles another 6” high under the higher cabinet. So it all looks intentional.


Would this all look incredibly stupid?

Attaching some photos for visualizing.




Recognizing that I can’t draw my way out of a paper bag, below is my rendering of how this might look.


Be kind lol.
