What Should You Consider When Choosing a Bathroom Mirror?
There are a few different considerations involved in choosing the right mirror for your bathroom. Sizing, location and placement, and how it fits with the vanity lighting will all play a role in the decision.
Mirror Sizing: How big do you want the mirror to be? Typically speaking, the mirror should fit the vanity and the bathroom space accordingly—that is, you wouldn’t put a huge 40 inch mirror in a small half bath. Find the size that fits your space. If you want to go big, make sure that your overstatement is obvious for the best results. Take into consideration if you want it framed or frameless.
Location and Placement: Mirrors are typically placed above the vanity or sink, but you might also decide to put mirrors elsewhere in the bathroom. For the vanity, you’ll want a mirror that can be installed a few inches above the countertop and fit within the allotted space. If you have lights above the bathroom vanity already, fitting in the perfect mirror will be essential. If not, you can choose your mirror and add lights later.
Mirror or Vanity Lights First?: No rule says you have to choose renovation items or upgrades in a certain order. However, many people ask whether they should select their mirror or their vanity lights first. That’s a matter of personal preference, really. If you already have lights, your mirror will need to fit their style and vice versa.
Now that you’ve got the insight you need to choose your perfect mirror, let’s take a look at 8 of the best oval bathroom wall mirrors for any space.
