last modified: last month

Hi,

we renovated our master bath and have a large double vanity with dresser. total counter is 120 inches. we have 15 inch drawers on each end and follwed by 30 inch sink cabinet, 30 inch dresser, 30 inch sink cabinef again. to make matters worse we have tile installed on the vanity wall. i have got a 84x48 led mirror installed but it looks small for the space or does it look okay? any other suggestions? i also get can 48x36, 48x24, 48x36 (stuck with 48 height because of the bracket already drilled 😞) one for each sink and one for dresser. or the otger led mirror i found is 96x48 which adds 6 inches on either side. please suggest. One large over 3 smaller. i am so exhausted

I’m not a pro, but it seems each sink needs more mirror. I don’t understand the other measurements you stated. Are you thinking about having two separate mirrors because those measurements are smaller than what you have now aren’t they?

Thank you @ claudianne. Yes, 3 smaller mirrors actuallly so the mirrors kind of fill little more on either side of the sink.

I prefer two mirrors as well because I think it gives a more balanced look and it provides defined spaces, his and hers in our case. Your statement about wanting to make it so that 3 people can use it is what has me curious though, is this a what if type scenario or is a 3rd person actually going to be in there all the time? The reason I ask is because DH and I used to make choices based on the what if's a lot. We'd spend the money or compromise on what we really wanted only to never have those "what if's" materialize. We bought a crew cab truck so if we needed to we could tote people but never once did anyone sit back there. We turned a room (that could have been my craft room) in to a guest room and in 10 years it's only been used a handful of times and an air mattress would have worked just as well. So if you want the big mirror because it will actually be used in the context you're planning for, great...then there's a need and that would be the more functional choice for your situation, but if you're just thinking well maybe 3 people might need it, then don't focus on that and do what is more practical for your every day living. KWIM? (And Ida is right, about the two lights)

Hello everyone I am so sorry for the late response. My little one got sick .. Thanks for all of your suggestions and comments! I truly appreciate them! I understand that what I would like to have is not going to fit in the current vanity layout we have right now. There is no time for us to change the layout now. They have started installing granite and we want them to meet the deadline to finish the house or we will be left without a place to stay! So we have decided to go with the single mirror for now. There is no point now in worrying over not having extra storage that we may or may not need in the vanity in the future. If after living in the house for couple of months we feel like we need extra vanity storage, I will add extra storage under the makeup area or in the master closet. But I will for sure replace this vanity sometime in the future with a more useful one :) Sophie Wheeler we live in Northern Louisiana. I looked up the guidelines you are talking about. I wish we knew about these before. But are they firm rules or just guidelines? The builder already sold a house with a similar layout last year so I am assuming he had the same vanity there and it passed inspection. I do not know for sure but why would anyone build something knowing it will fail inspection? :/

You're lucky to find sconces that only are only 1.5" wide. We have a 72" double sink vanity wall to wall, with sconce>mirror>sconce>sconce>mirror>sconce. Our 2 mirrored medicine cabinets are each 21.25" wide centered over 17" wide Caxton sinks and our sconces round bases are 5" wide, so it sounds like reducing your cabinets to 24" would be fine.

if everyone that uses the mirror is approximately the same height, that would make choosing mirrors that showcase your new tile easier. If you have two mirrors the size shown, you could reuse them, hanging them horizontally, with or without frames. If you want the overhead boxes and light gone but do not have enough tile for that part of the wall, you might consider covering the area with paneling into which you can recess new LED light fixtures or against which you can attach your new light fixture -- or both. I'd want more recessed lights than this one but also like the idea of a second light fixture on a separate switch outside the box in which the recessed lights are installed that could light the entire room. https://www.wayfair.com/Winston-Porter--Whelan-5Light-Dimmable-Vanity-Light-X111249349-L6116-K~W000138238.html?refid=GX433803226217-W000138238_1811975260&device=c&ptid=903084850761&network=g&targetid=pla-903084850761&channel=GooglePLA&ireid=64738416&fdid=1817&PiID%5B%5D=1811975260&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3NDB0few7wIV__DjBx0YXgrfEAQYBCABEgKfv_D_BwE

I think what you have now looks very nice. I don’t think I would add more mirrors.

It does look tight for those standing at the sink but stand there and if you can see all your head at once it's fine.

I'm not a pro but aesthetically it seems like mirror size width should be closer to the sink base widths. Why are sinks so small for vanity size? Just appears there's an intention to have a sconce light at each side?

"or the other led mirror I found is 96x48 which adds 6 inches on either side. Please suggest.

Do as above.

The bad planning, not taking time to elevate your plan in a drawing scaled UP to 1" to 1 ' got you here, and painted right into a corner.

Get yourself a really good lighted makeup mirror, as your hang height is already too high to see well.

A note to others:

Water does not splash from a sink to the ceiling!. Tile ......think twice about it, please. Think twice to " do I need it at all? " Answer? Probably not: )

Thank you! I think the 96x48 will work better it will add 6 inches more on each side. good question regarding the sink size and we feel the same. vanities were covered by the contractor and probably he tried to cut his cost by giving us smaller sinks 😞

I will say yet once more , as a robot drone:

A contractor is your technician. He installs as you select or provide.

He is in NO SCENARIO......your designer. Not for your bath, not for your kitchen. Just .....not.

Unless you hire a designer? Y..O. U. are the designer.

Unfortunately the contractor didn't even center those small sinks with their respective vanity, both look off in their placement. Just why, I would ask.

Good catch, just above.........

Why and how? Drain location wasn't considered in vanity plan

Or

Plumbing rough in error, after vanity was ordered........

Or a template error, and the wrong sink or just a grab from what the solid surface shop has in stock....

WAH WAH WAH.
