You will find several mirror options to inspire your bathroom vision.
Before we jump in let's tackle mirror sizing
Mirror Sizing
Mirror size should compliment your vanity -- not so small that it looks awkward but not too big that it takes over the wall. Mirrors make a room look larger, which is helpful in a smaller bathrooms.
You'll want to consider lighting as well. Allow space around the sides or top of your mirror for bathroom light fixtures and below it for your sink. A good rule of thumb:
Bathroom mirrors should be higher than faucet spout. This will also eliminate water splatter.
Mirrors should be hung at eye level
Ideally there should be 2 to 3 inches of space between the mirror edge and lighting.
We recommended getting out your tape measure to give yourself approximate dimensions. This will help guarantee that your mirror looks customer designed for your new bathroom space.
Now...let's start envisioning your bathroom renovation with these fabulous mirror ideas.

Go to New Heights

Backlight It
Brighten your bathroom with a backlit mirror and diffused lighting. A backlit mirror gives a beautiful glow to dark spaces while enhancing surrounding features like sinks and countertops. The diffused light mimics soft daylight which is perfect for styling hair, applying makeup, or shaving. This mirror option requires an electrical connection.
