Mirror Size and Light Placement?!

2 years ago

We are renovating our kids bathroom and a 60” vanity with double sinks will go in this nook, fitting exactly wall to wall. I’d like to do two mirrors but what size and where to place the lights without looking cramped?! Thanks for any suggestions!

With 60" to work a design could have about 18 inch wide mirrors over each sink. Three lights (left, right, middle) might work? Below is from our former house and I bought the mirrors from Amazon and they were about 20 inches or so wide and even though we had a longer counter I don't think it would look squeezed with 60 inches of counter.

A visual is so helpful.Curious if there was any additional lighting in the room?

Go with a 60" mirror over your vanity and a couple pendant lights. Your space will feel larger, and you'll have a better view of yourself /your outfit as you prep for your day ... better than those too-skinny mirrors you're suggesting.
