Perfect timing on this article! Thank you for sharing! We are nearing the end of a guest bathroom upgrade and I am trying to select a mirror. We painted, traded out a sink vanity for a pedestal sink and are changing lighting, faucet and fixtures. With above mirror lighting, your article indicates a square mirror. However, I’m wondering if a round or oval mirror would better offset the square edges of the sink. Thoughts? Reply
Love the info in this post! Super helpful. Our master bathroom is very small and can only accommodate a pedestal sink. With a lack of storage space, we rely on a wall-mounted (not recessed) medicine cabinet for storage of our daily toiletries. We would love to upgrade our medicine cabinet, but I have found that all the medicine cabinets online are either enormous for our tiny space or look too cheap. Any tips for medicine cabinets? Thanks!

So so helpful. We are doing a new build and planning on two mirrors above a double vanity. Any tips on spacing the mirrors and lighting? Reply
When placing a mirror over a piece of furniture, should the height of the furniture dictate the size of the mirror? We have a wide chest of drawers that’s about 3.5′ tall. Would love a round mirror, but am wondering if the chest is too high for that? thanks! Reply
Any recommendations on what shape mirror would work best over a stone fireplace at a lake house? I believe the rock is flagstone. It’s rustic but missing something to soften it up, if that makes any sense. Please help me out!!! Reply
if you want something to soften it up, you’d probably be best going for something round or oval since those edges won’t be so sharp Reply
I am doing some upgrades in our family room. We have a stone fireplace and on each side are built in shelves. To the right of the right builtin is the door entry through our garage and we use it as our main entry for our family. Currently we have a credenza/cabinet with a mirror above. Considering putting a wall mirror. Is that a no no? This is a high traffic area and the cabinet serves as a perfect place for things however I really want to open the space. Reply
I have two silver rectangular mirrors above my double sinks with rounded edges. Across from the double sink vanity is a makeup counter that I need a mirror for. Should I do the same as the double sink vanity mirrors but bigger or can I mix it up and use a rectangle mirror? I’m considering the Truman Mirror by McGee & Co. Reply
I agree with what you said that it’s important to consider the elements surrounding a mirror when choosing a style that would fit my bathroom. My husband and I recently moved to a new home, and I want to replace the bathroom mirrors. I’ll take note of your advice to ensure I choose the right style of mirrors for our new house. Thanks! Reply
