Please rec places to buy framed bathroom mirrors!

5 years ago

I'm shopping for 3 framed bathroom mirrors and would like to your ideas on places to look. I'm comparing pricing and would like some suggestions of other places to look! I've already checked out the big box stores online, houzz, wayfair, build dot com, and allmodern dot com. Where else should I be looking?

FWIW, I've found 3 mirrors in the following sizes for a total of $900... can I find a better deal or is that a great deal? (I've never shopped for framed bathroom mirrors before, I don't know what is a good deal yet.) I am looking for simple, modern, black frame.

Sizes:

63x34.5

36x32

35x42

Thanks!

Bathroom mirrors have held up bathroom remodel of mine that should have been over a month ago!!!

I ordered some but had to return because they ended up too thick in person and got in the way of my faucet.

Be sure to know the depth/thickness of the mirrors in your planning and how they will affect your vanity-ceiling measurement with clearing the faucet too...also lighting (overhead or side).

I finally settled on a couple from Pottery Barn and they weren't the best "deal" even with 20% off...but because I wanted a very thin polished chrome frame and not a frame I could have gotten at even a glass/mirror store nearby,

Your prices for your three seem reasonable. If you are happy with the mirrors and they fit, go for it and don't look back!

If you still want to look, try West Elm for a thin black frame, they often have 20% off too.

I'm looking too for two bathrooms and have found good items (and good prices) at Pier 1, Marshalls, Ross, TJ Maxx and Tuesday Morning. I need to check out Lowes and Home Depot too, because I remember seeing that they had some pretty framed mirrors. I have trouble with buying online because it's so hard to tell finish. But if you are buying something without a frame, or black/white/silver/etc. that might be easier.

Ok, thanks for all the input! I recently found a place that will cut the mirror AND bevel the cut edges for me, YAY! It's not the cost that's the issue, I just hated to waste a good mirror. Hubby got it off the wall in one piece & I have the prettiest glass & metal mosaic tiles to frame it. (a frightening note - it wasn't glued or anything, just held on the wall with those little clips!!! We're lucky it stayed in place for the last 8 years!) Will post pics when done.

Homegoods for sure. I purchased this mirror there for $40 a couple of years ago. It's 29 x 35, nice and big. Will probably end up spray painting it (won't be using any gold tones in the new home) and using it in the powder room. They had a huge selection there as well, love that place!

I do have to say that I've seen the Kirkland mirror, (or something just like it), on display at The Tile Shop, and it's just gorgeous. I uderstand if you think it's too ornate for the vanity, but it doesn't bring in any extra elements (like the mother of pearl). It's a great looking mirror.

I wonder what the price differential is to simply have mirrors cut to order and then custom framed?

If they are standard sizes (ie mirror/glass itself is 24 x 36) they are a great price, Having them cut custom sizes can also be a decent price if you forego the special edging etc and also the frame,

Karen Rose (or anyone else) do you know if MirrorLot frequently does free shipping specials? I'm not in a rush (house won't be done till April anyway) but there is a free shipping deal until midnight tonight. If they tend to do these monthly or regularly, I can wait - I'm worried about ordering the mirrors without being able to double check measurements with the builder!

Or - if anyone here has experience with this - below are the measurements the builder provided for the size of the big frameless mirrors they would put in - so I can find something to fit into that space. I shrunk down a little from each so it can be hung a little higher to allow plenty of clearance for faucet, and centered over the vanity.

Builder's Measurements - Mirror size I picked;

bathroom 1: 66x36 - 63x33

Bathroom 2: 36x36 - 33x33

Bathroom 3: 42x36 - 40x33

Mirror has a 1.563 in. inch Wide Frame.

The way I "sized down" from the space available, is that sufficient, or should I make the mirror a little bit smaller to allow slightly more "room for error"? I'm super excited about this - my first attempt got me three mirrors for $1k, second attempt got me down to $900, this place will be about $600!!

No idea, but I got free shipping a few weeks ago, so I suppose it’s possible! Yeah that would probably be a big deal because I priced a huge mirror with another company and they wanted $150 to ship it.

Thanks - I'm so torn! I went down a few more inches on each, so we have more wiggle room with where we place it depending on the faucet, etc. I have until midnight to decide, ha!

A couple of things..

Did he tell you those sizes because he is planning to put them across entire wall and put lighting on top of/installed INTO mirror?

Or is he planning on you having overhead or sconces above/beside on the wall?

I guess I'm asking if you are clear on your plan/have looked at all the options and know what you like. You want the mirror to be pretty close to the size of the vanity if it's a double-vanity, doesn't natter so much on a single vanity...but still good to know what your goal is before rushing into anything (I ordered to overhead lights months ago only to change my mind to sconces...all because of the 25% off and free shipping ;)

Also, if you don't have a framed mirror, you don't have to worry so much about faucet interference.

Thanks! We have overhead lights - the measurements the builder provided are for the unframed mirror they would install if we didn't provide a framed one, so that's the "max" space available. If that makes sense!
