The mirror size compared to your vanity should be slightly narrower than the vanity itself. Typically, a mirror should be 2-4 inches shorter in width than the vanity to maintain balance and aesthetics. For example, if your vanity is 36 inches wide, a mirror around 32 to 34 inches wide is ideal. This keeps the mirror proportional and ensures functional and visually pleasing symmetry.
