Choose a bathroom mirror that is no wider than the vanity to maintain a balanced look. A good rule of thumb is to select a mirror that is 4 to 6 inches narrower than the vanity. Additionally, for optimal height, the mirror should be centered above the sink and positioned so the top edge is about 5 to 10 inches above the eye level of the tallest user.
