Mirror not centered over sink bathrooms
Comments (6)You could get one big mirror and install sconces on top. Like this: https://www.houzz.com/photos/kara-weik-©-2012-houzz-traditional-bathroom-dallas-phvw-vp~1588585 But then you would lose the pretty mirrors. Is the middle sconce centered between the sinks?...See Morebathroom vanity light and mirror not center
Comments (4)The junction box for the light is probably mounted to a stud, which doesn't happen to be centered on the vanity. There are ways of adjusting the box's position, or replacing it with an old work box that can be cut into the drywall just about anywhere. However, in many cases, moving that box wouldn't be trivial. At the very least it would require drywall patching, and there's a good chance the electrician would have to fish a new cable to the box because the existing one wouldn't be long enough. It;s up to you, but if it were my house, I probably wouldn't bother....See MoreBathroom mirrors: Polished? Framed? Beveled? ? ?
Comments (7)@suezbell, thanks! We have no intention of doing two separate mirrors---we're fans of the Old School BIG/WIDE wall mirror, and trying to simplify at this point. But OH, I love the idea of a walnut box!! That could be just the thing to tie the vanity together, thanks! I hope I can find someone to do it without a ton of $$$ though, as we are way over budget--ack! If you have any photos to point me to, I'd love to see. Re lighting, we have a lot of recessed lights in there, so plenty of overhead lighting, I think? (I don't use makeup and rarely comb my hair, so I really only use a mirror and lighting to brush/floss my teeth!) @shirlpp, yeah, that mirror is just a utility piece until we get the real one. Another thing that bugs me is the towel bar--though it matches the T.P. holder and the sconce hardware, it's too industrial looking IMO, so I might just go with simple white bars for the hand towels. Anyway, at your request, here are some pics without the classy IKEA mirror, lol: Lower photo taken through the shower glass: p.s. Apologies to those who are tired of all my posts (some on the same theme). I search but can't seem to find them easily, probably because I use "creative" subject headers then forget what I wrote!...See MoreBathroom Addition - Vanity Design - Framed or Frameless Mirror?
Comments (5)If this room will be used for makeup application, you want to make sure your lighting is optimized. (Natural light is best for makeup application but cloudy days and evenings require good lighting.) Overhead lighting as it appears in your elevation shot is the least flattering type of lighting because it casts shadows on the face. I've read that lighting should illuminate the whole face and this is best achieved by having mirror side lights. If your lighting stays as it is, the makeup wearer might appreciate a table top mirror with built-in lighting. Person's eyesight and habits are bound to dictate preference over a wall or tabletop mirror preference as well. Lighting placement then informs mirror choice. Frame or frameless mirror is a choice based on chosen bathroom style and owners' preference. (I hate cleaning the bathroom. As I'm planning our remodel, all my choices are dictated by cleaning ease. Love the look of ornate frames but they're a pain to clean so if I go with a framed mirror, the frame will be smooth and easy to dust.) As for the sink outlets, think about all the appliances you use and where they'll be stored. Toothbrushes? Hair dryer? Razors? Perhaps you'd like to hide these outlets with storage drawers? An architect would certainly help you do that. Good luck with your decisions. Hope you'll share pics when done!...See MoreRelated Professionals
