Considerations: Buying a new Mirror & the Mirror Position and Size

Position is very important when it comes to a mirror, as is the size you choose for the location. If you choose one too large then you may overpower the space it is placed. Choose one too small, and it will likely be engulfed by its surroundings and disregarded.

At the point you are ready to buy, please remember to measure the place the mirror will live and then scale the mirror to its location. Measuring items around the mirror will also help you decide and the correct size for your new mirror.

The “mirror buying rule of thumb for sizing” is two-thirds of the width of the item (i.e Mantle Piece) it will be hung above (if any, and if not then scale the empty space to suit against surrounding furniture used).

A correct height to hang a mirror “rule of thumb for height to hang a mirror” is to position the centre of the mirror at eye-level or just below. Try considering also your family members height & size if they will also use the mirror.
