A wall-framed mirror can transform any space - be it a bathroom, living room, or bedroom - into a charming and more spacious area. But before you can enjoy the beauty and benefits, you need to know how to measure for one. Below, we outline the steps you need to take to ensure your new mirror fits perfectly.
Step 1: Determine the Ideal Placement
Before you can measure, you need to know where your mirror will hang. Consider the aesthetic, functionality, and lighting in the room. Ideally, mirrors should hang at eye level, approximately 57 inches from the floor to the center of the mirror.
- Bathroom: Above the sink or vanity
- Living Room: Above a fireplace, or opposite a window
- Bedroom: Above a dresser, or behind a door
Step 2: Measure the Space
Now that you know where your mirror will hang, it's time to measure the space.
- Measure the height and width of the space using a tape measure.
- Note down the measurements.
- Remember to leave at least 1-2 inches of wall space on all sides of the mirror for a balanced look.
Step 3: Determine the Size of Your Mirror
The size of your mirror will depend on your personal preference and the size of your wall. Here are some general rules:
- For bathrooms, the mirror should not be wider than the vanity.
- In living rooms, a large mirror can act as a statement piece. It should, however, maintain a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio with the furniture below it.
- In bedrooms, choose a mirror that is proportional to the rest of your furniture.
Step 4: Choose Your Mirror
