Three large crystal lights feel like way too much bling and the third mirror is awkward.

Are you only using the counter for make-up, not hair? Could you hard-wire a lighted extension magnifying mirror on the wall and forgo that mirror and light? Or use a counter mirror? That overhead light isn't the best for make-up so you'll need to provide close lighting. Might as well eliminate it since it detracts visually from the vanity.

I am not a design professional. I am a practical person who understands the need to be able to sit and do your hair or make-up. I also appreciate the need for drawers and see no reason to loose your drawers so you can have a knee space that is balanced in the middle when you have space for one at the side. It is stupid to loose function for design's sake when a better design could give you both. That is my opinion.

I am wondering if there is a way to tweak your design to make it so the third mirror is not looking like a not-quite imitation of the other two. My thought is that the more different you make it, the better it will look. So make it shorter. You are sitting at this work station. You don't need the mirror to go as high as the others, maybe narrower. Your lighting will be lower and will be side sconces. You may even have the counter be not as deep. So you will be closer to the mirror. See, by making the work station different, it is a different thing on the side, not a third thing. If that does not work, turn it 90 degrees and put this work station on the side wall so that it is not in the same "view" as the other two.

I believe the recommended distance apart for side sconces is 30".

Do those crystal lights give clear, strong light or are they only an ambient light? Maybe you should put a ceiling light in over the make-up table. Then you could use a lighted make-up mirror for close-up.

Lights can be installed over mirrors, but the light reflection will visually double the light itself. So, when buying a fixture, imagine it double in size. It can be done well if reflection is considered.

About the mirror height above the sitting area. If plan on sitting, there. Especially wanting to look ahead sitting, watch out for this common mistake. Can you guess what the problem is....

If someone sat down, they would not be able to see their whole face. I see this so often.

So, watchout for what type of backsplash the contractor is using, you may want to request a lower splash or none, so the mirror can go lower.

So, bring this up to contractor. He probably doesn't put makeup on, & may over look a half face in mirror will not do;)

You can measure your sit eye level & face chin. You'll need the height of the countertop & a chair that would fit comfortably to figure out the best height for you. The chair used obviously factors in the height, as well. You want enough leg room under, too.

If still not sure where to hang mirror height over makeup area, then lower the better.

Insist the mirror is lower, so you can sit & see your whole beauty.

It's extremely lacking due to the cabinet intrusion. I highly suggest reconfiguring this situation for several reasons.

1st - the obvious too little open area around sinks

2nd- elbow room when washing face way too tight

3rd- cabinet resting on countertop too close to water may damage bottom of cabinet.

So, if the cabinets have been ordered, what can be done...

-Don't install the top portion in red box. pro, easiest solution. use the cabinets elsewhere. can be recessed, too.

or

-if possible, recesse the cabinet above into wall, trim around to make it look finished, pro keeps storage depth as is, con cost more, may not be possible due to what's in wall.

or

-cut down box to 6- 9" deep, put open space below & cabinets above

pro more countertop space, open space below because if doors below, everything has to be moved off in front of to open doors. con less storage depth

A well functional vanity is more important. It's used daily.

Hope that helps.

I think artistsharon's last example using that type of framing might work (edit: her photo. Haven't looked at her latest post yet.) Not the tri-fold mirror, but the mirror down to the make-up counter, the same height as the other mirrors, with one wide frame separating each mirror. No wall space between mirrors.

Sconces are supposed to be at eye level and you'll be sitting, so they could look a little odd being so low. I really think a wall-mount or counter make-up mirror is the way to go unless you are unable to stand to do your hair. Then maybe you use the tri-fold mirror as shown in the photo.

I like to draw the vanity, mirror, and lights on graph paper. It helps tell you what will work and problem-solve what won't. I would try to eliminate the crystal light over the make-up table.

The water issue can be addressed by extending the backsplash around the base of the counter cabinet. It looks best when the counter is close in color to the cabinets so it blends.

Here the mirror is framed too.

Artistsharonva, I went up to the PO's post of her bathroom cabinetry to see the center cabinet between the sinks more clearly, since you do have a point about those cabinets that are fully extended out between the sinks. Hers, however, has an arrow pointing at it from the notation, "6" deep." So she already has done as you would have wanted.
