What size mirrors for a 72 inch double vanity?
A 72″ double vanity looks best with two mirrors, each centred over a sink and about 26–30″ wide, which is a 30″ mirror each.
Method: Common designer guidance: a mirror equal to or a few inches narrower than the vanity, hung 5–10″ above the counter near eye level.
Recommended mirror
2 × 30″ wide
About 30″ tall · 26″–30″ works
| Width range | 26″–30″ |
| Bottom edge from floor | about 40″ |
| Centre from floor | about 55″ |
- • Hang it so the bottom edge sits 5–10″ above the countertop, and centre it on the vanity (or on each sink).
- • The centre of a 30″ tall mirror lands about 55″ from the floor. Eye level is roughly 57–60″, so raise it if the people using it are tall.
- • Two mirrors, each centred over its sink, usually look better than one oversized mirror across a double vanity.
