Question

Which mirror shape is best for a bathroom?

Community Answer

It depends on the size of the bathroom and who is using it. A circle is a classic shape, and so is a square or rectangle on a cupboard over the sink. It really does depend on your preferences. Some people like diamond-shaped mirrors.

Community Answer

When selecting a mirror to place over a console table in a room with an 8-foot ceiling, aim for a height of 30-40 inches to complement the space and enhance the room's aesthetics.

Question

I purchased a mirror that is 48x34, but it didn't seem as large as expected. Is the length measured diagonally or by width?

Dylan Cherko

Community Answer

The length of the mirror refers to the longer side (48 inches), and the width refers to the shorter side (34 inches). It's advisable to verify measurements with the seller or check the packaging or product description.

Consider a circular mirror about 20 inches in diameter to fit nicely and maintain the room's flow without being overly dominant.

Question

What size mirror should I choose for a 76-inch wide piece of furniture and a foyer with a 15-foot high ceiling?

HReinertsen 27544

Community Answer

To find the right mirror size, first calculate the area by multiplying 76 inches by 15 feet. Then, choose a mirror that's slightly smaller to avoid a tight fit.

Question

What size mirror, round or square, should I purchase for my foyer console that is 55” wide and 33” high, with 9’ ceilings?

Ella.barozzini

Community Answer

Consider a round mirror as it provides a timeless look and softer lines. A 24" to 28" mirror would be a good size for your space.
