Is it ok for vanity lights to overhang mirror?

2 years agoI found these examples of lights overhanging the mirror. I guess it depends on whether you mind the look or not. Is the mirror purchased? If not, could you install the vanity light through the top of the mirror? It also will depend on which light you selected; some would look better than than others overhanging. Can you post your selection?

What size mirror and light bar over 36in vanity
Comments (2)If you want to use a medicine cabinet I would probably stay with the 24 inch and use side lights. You'll need to keep in mind that a bar light above the medicine cabinet will need to extend enough to clear the depth of the cabinet, so finding such a light may be difficult. There are cabinets that have built-in lights so you may want to look at those. Check these out. If you choose a cabinet with built-in lights, I'd go with a wider than 24" cabinet. Other option: keep the light fixture you have and put in a framed, or unframed mirror that is a little wider than the lights.

Comments (1)I'm not a fan of pendants dangling over a vanity area, it would be a last resort for me. Recessed, in combination with wall sconces works well. The vanity lighting need not be the only lighting in the bath, either. Recessed in the middle space of a bath, wall sconces at the roughly "head" level of 66 inches off the floor at the vanity can work well too. .........or even sconces above when it is the only option. The "rules" are lighting specs, space, style and personal need dependent. It is difficult to advise you minus a bath plan, or even a photo....See MoreChandelier Light w/ Regular Vanity OK in the bathroom?
