Powder Room Mirrors That Will Instantly Elevate Your

The household sequence below is the one that kept the room usable while it was unfinished. Want a little help choosing powder room mirrors? I'm sharing the preferred mirrors and sizing pointers to help you pick the best one for your space!

Remodeling our powder room was way down on my things-we-need-to-do-to-our-new-house list! But… once we removed our old toilet and pedestal sink prior to our hardwood floors refinishing, it just made more sense to work on it now instead of putting the old stuff back in and then taking it out again six months down the road for a redo.

So I jumped into removing the floral wallpaper, installing bathroom shiplap, and adding a new toilet, vanity, accessories, and… a powder room mirror. Since I spent so much time searching for a mirror, I thought I'd do a quick round-up of the preferred powder room mirrors along with some mirror sizing pointers too! (post includes commissionable links; for more information, see my full disclosure statement {here})

To catch you up if you've missed it, this is what our powder room looked like when we first moved in:

and this is our powder room after we remodeled it:

The small vanity we added to our powder room

I wanted a round powder room mirror for this space since there were already a lot of straight lines with the vanity, flooring, and shiplap. In my round mirror search, these were my favorites…

Classic Powder Room Mirrors

I also considered going with a mirror that's super simple and classic, especially since I chose a fairly busy wallpaper. Most of these come in several size and finish options:

Sizing of Powder Room Mirrors

While there's no one “right” size for powder room mirrors, over the years The household has figured out what size I like best based on the size of the vanity the mirror is going over. For round mirrors, I prefer the mirror width to be at least 80% the width of a single-sink vanity but no larger than the full width of the vanity:

For petite vanities 24″ and under, err toward the larger end and chose a round mirror that's the full width of the vanity or close to it.

For rectangular mirrors, I prefer the mirror width to be at least 75% the width of a single-sink vanity but no wider than 2″ less than the width of the vanity:

Tips for how big of a rectangular mirror to use over a powder room vanity

Unlike with round mirrors, I don't like rectangular mirrors to be the same width of the vanity because the straight lines of the mirror lining up with the straight lines of the vanity looks too blocky to me.

It would help if those sizing pointers help if you're planning a powder room redo too! Looking for more bathroom redo work inspiration? Look at these posts:
