Measuring the space for your new bathroom mirror requires a few simple steps to ensure that your new mirror fits perfectly. Here’s our guide on how to accurately measure mirror size and position for your bathroom.

What you need:

• Tape measure

Measuring the Height

Measure the height of the space where you’d like the bathroom mirror to be installed. Use a tape measure to measure from the top of the vanity or sink to the ceiling.

Make sure you consider the position of your taps and any splashback feature tiles – you might choose to allow some clear space between the bottom edge of the mirror and the position of your taps or tiles.

Measuring the Width

Measure the width of the space where the bathroom mirror will be installed. Use a tape measure to measure from one side of the wall to the other.

Remember that your mirror doesn't have to stretch across the entire wall, or even the entire width of the vanity – smaller round mirrors or elegant arched shapes can bring interest and style to your space.

Decide on Placement

Determine where the mirror will be placed: will it be mounted directly onto the wall and at what height?

Consider Lighting

Consider the placement of any light fixtures in the bathroom. Make sure the mirror is not too high or low and that it will not interfere with any lighting.

Double Check Your Measurements

It is always a good idea to double-check your measurements before ordering or installing your new mirror to ensure that it will fit perfectly.
