The correctly sized bathroom mirror can improve the look of your entire bathroom, making it more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. However, getting it wrong can have the opposite effect. As such, when buying a bathroom mirror, you first need to know the correct size to suit your needs.

Of course, a few things may affect your ability to choose your vanity mirror size. If there is a light in the area where you plan to mount your mirror, you will need to ensure the light will be above the level of the mirror. Additionally, if there is a cupboard above your vanity, you may add the mirror to the doors, or if there are multiple doors with space between them, this area may be suitable.

Have you been wondering how to determine the mirror size for your bathroom? It is simple. A bathroom mirror should not be greater than the width of your vanity. In fact, 4 to 6 inches narrower than the width of your bathroom vanity is the ideal width for your mirror.

Additionally, choosing the correct height is extremely important, especially if you are very tall. This is because, for tall people, the wrong length of bathroom mirrors can affect their ability to see themselves correctly. For instance, when using a short mirror, a tall person may have his head cut off. As such, it is best to have a mirror 6 inches below your ceiling level and 6 to 10 inches above your vanity.

Another reason for having a tall mirror for your bathroom is because it makes the area appear more open.

To use our bathroom mirror size calculator, you need first to:

1. Choose the type of mirror you intend to buy.

   The options available are either circular, rectangular, or double. We know other options are available, and you can also choose from these. Use the shape that best relates to the more unusual styles. For instance, you may use the circular calculator if buying a hexagon-shaped mirror.

   The same applies if you wish to buy a mirror shaped like a star. Measure the diameter of the mirror you want to purchase and use this with the circular calculator.

   For an oval shape mirror whose height is the longer side, use the rectangular calculator to do your calculation.

2. Enter the height and width of the vanity.

3. Add the height of the ceiling. This must be a value greater than the height of the vanity plus an additional eight inches because only then will there be enough space to fit a mirror.

To calculate the correct size rectangular mirror for your bathroom, follow these steps:

1. First, measure the height of the ceiling.
2. Get the height and width of your vanity.
3. Subtract 4 inches from the width of the vanity. This is the width of your mirror.
4. Add 12 inches to the height of your vanity. Subtract the answer from the height of your ceiling.
5. This is the height of your mirror.

Double vanities are quite lovely for bathrooms, and they require larger mirrors. However, even for this, four inches smaller than the width of the vanity is still the standard. Unlike single vanities, however, it is recommended that you stick with rectangular mirrors for your double vanity.

Some people may opt to use two mirrors instead of one. So what size bathroom mirror should we choose in this instance?

To calculate the correct size double mirror for your vanity:

1. Find the height of the vanity.
2. Measure the height of the ceiling.
3. Measure the width of the vanity.
4. Add the height of the vanity plus 12 inches. Subtract this from the height of the ceiling. The result gives you the height of the mirror.
5. Subtract 8 inches from the vanity's width to calculate the mirror's width.
6. When hanging these mirrors, mount them 2 inches from the edge of the vanity on either side. That will leave a 4-inch space between them. It will give your bathroom area a balanced feel.
