The Affordable Bathroom Mirror Layout That Looks Incredibly High End

The one thing every restroom needs is a styled mirror, especially when you have a contractor standard version. This is a bathroom feature that doesn't look as good in real life as it does in photos, instead looking like a boring, space-consuming element. Don't swipe your card just yet on those pricey larger types costing you hundreds of dollars: Adding multiple mirrors instead of a larger one is the affordable bathroom mirror layout that looks incredibly high end, especially if you strategically measure and place the mirrors.

Grab at least two smaller, budget-friendly mirrors of any shape that are the same size. Having these mirrors has many benefits besides looking luxurious, such as making a smaller bathroom appear bigger, adding visual interest, and brightening the area. Before you put out your new mirrors, you most likely have an old one up that needs to be taken down. First, you need to determine if this restroom essential is glued or clipped to the surface. Second, you need to figure out if it is on drywall or tile. From there, follow the instructions of each removal process. If you're worried that you may damage the wall or mirror, you can contact a professional for help. Once the reflective glass is off the wall, clean the space and then mark the areas where you want to hang the next mirrors. Suspend them all on the wall, creating a design you love.

For this layout to work in your space, you need to strategically measure and place the reflective surfaces. Before you buy any mirrors or install them, you need to measure the area to know what size works best. Grab a tape measure and take note of the height and width you have available on the wall. Do some quick math, and you can figure out the size you need for each mirror. Don't rush this step because proportions matter; you don't want a too-big or too-small reflective glass looking like an eyesore in your bathroom.

Placement is everything you've been doing wrong when hanging mirrors. You need to treat it as the key to ensuring this layout works. You will also want to position it not too high or too low, finding a happy medium, preferably where the lights are not adding glares or shadows, and where you can still comfortably see yourself. While you can set them up anywhere, it can help to hang your collection of reflective surfaces five to ten inches higher than the tallest person's eye level in the house, but the bottom needs to be about four to six inches above your bathroom counter's surface. Make hanging a mirror a breeze by following all of the installation instructions or hacks that you find. You also can hire a professional contractor if you need any additional assistance.
