Hello everyone, We are building a spec home and this is the vanity the builder installed.. its too late to change the design or the wiring for the lights. {{attachment:2981042}}

I already had nice advice from you all in a separate discussion as to where to put lights above the mirror. The mirror the builder is going to install is a one large mirror covering the whole wall.

One thing I am worried about is the amount of storage in the vanity for things like linen and medicine and other usual bathroom stuff. I hate cluttered counter tops and I can see the counter here going to be filled with creams and tooth brushes and etc in the future.. With the layout of the bathroom there is no space to put a standing storage unless we put it in the master closet which is on the right side of the vanity. So I want to add something similar to a tower storage like shown below for more storage. {{attachment:2981044}}

Or something like this with mirrors on the tower doors. {{attachment:2981045}}

To visualize things, I took some poster frames and placed them on top of the painted vanity and tried to see how things will look like if we add 2 mirrors instead of a one large one. Here is a picture I took of the vanity with the poster frames. {{attachment:2981043}}

The sink areas are 24.5 inches wide and will have 1 light mounted above the mirror. centered on sinks. Can't add sconces unfortunately. Too late for wiring.

The makeup area is 44 inches long and will have 3 lights mounted above.

The two poster frames above the sinks are 24x36

Middle poster frame is 22.x34

I thought it will look nicer if we get taller mirrors (ceilings are 9 foot high). Maybe we can add two simple storage towers between the mirrors or use a storage cabinet with mirrored doors as in the previous houzz picture. But my husband thinks it is better to have the large mirror for the master bathroom. He thinks two mirrors are two small and is not suitable for a master bathroom. My thought is adding more storage is important to a bathroom and the two/three mirrors add a nice touch.

We both are not experts so please let us know you think about this dilemma. I know storage is a personal preference but design-wise and based on your experiences, for a master vanity is it better to go with a big mirror or use two mirrors and a storage tower? Sorry for the lengthy post. Just wanted to add all the details. Thanks so much in advance!
