Bathroom mirrors do not have to be the same size as the sink. To achieve a well-balanced look, ensure the mirror is proportionate to the vanity. Typically, the mirror should be slightly narrower than the sink, allowing for around 2-4 inches of space on each side. This preserves a visually appealing symmetry and offers sufficient reflection area for daily activities.
