Need help with mirror in bathroom and maybe a backsplash?

We're trying to figure out what to do with our mirror. The bathroom will be started in a couple weeks. Do I want
1) framed mirror to match the cabs and a backsplash around it?
2) a bevelled or straight type mirror all the way to the counter with no frame?
And current...will be getting rid of the 2 flanking mirrors on the angles. And it'll be a whole lot prettier :)
Help, we're kind of on a bit of a deadline! And were not going to do the framed mirror but it's growing on us, esp with a bit of a backsplash, maybe up to the ceiling? We would do something simple.
Counter will most likely be Cambria Whitehall and cabs are a graphite stained maple. Having a trough undermount sink with 2 faucets. It's a great vision in my head :)
Thanks!

Comments (6)We did not tile the side walls in any of our bathrooms because we aren't overly fond of that look, though I have seen bathrooms here and elsewhere with tiled side-splashes that look terrific. We made sure to use good quality, scrubbable paint in our bathrooms (we used BM Aura Bath and Spa paint; matte finish), and it seems to be holding up well*. Over the sink in the guest bathroom, we used our border tiles from the shower as a backsplash (3" high?). In our MB and hall bathroom, we tiled up to the ceilings--that decision was more for aesthetics than necessity. *I did end up scrubbing and touching-up (re-rolled) one small section of the wall between the vanity and the doorway molding in our MB after an unnoticed splatter of benzoyl peroxide gel/cream left permanent light colored spots on the wall. The section of wall next the sink/counter has been fine....See Morebathroom backsplash/mirror surround

Comments (2)I ended up switching my mirrors to square ones because of this. I think if the tile went behind the mirror, instead of around, it might work with just a straight line stopping point but I really don't know. Seems like no one else did either!...See More3cm Bathroom Quartz backsplash advice - Help
Comments (9)you could go as high as you like. some take it up to the mirror, some stop short, some go all the way up. just depends on your design. if your tile comes in some type of liner, edging or bevel, you finish the top w/that. or you could use a Schluter edging strip,,,or the finishing could smooth the top and run a caulking bead. without seeing the tile it's hard to say. some examples. this last one is my own. since I was doing wall mount faucets, I chose to continue my countertop up about 10" or so for my splash. Plus, I had so much going on elsewhere w/the tile, I didn't want additional busy looking tile at the sink w/this counter. He used a thinner depth on it than was on the edging....See Moreakl_vdb
