How high should the bathroom mirror be placed?

Bathroom mirrors are an essential part of any bathroom decor. Not only do they serve to reflect our image, but they can also help create a feeling of spaciousness and brightness in the room.
Bathroom mirrors come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but one often overlooked aspect is the height at which they are placed.

At what height to put the bathroom mirror?

Let's start by saying that there is no rigid rule to respect: the factors to consider are the size of the mirror, the type of furniture and washbasin to which the mirror must be combined, the average height of the people who will use it.

However, to give you a general idea of ​​the measurements, we can say that between the mirror and the sink you should leave between 30 and 40cm; between the sink top and the mirror, on the other hand, you should leave between 20 and 40cm.
One recommendation above all is to make the width of the mirror coincide with that of the sink or cabinet. For an optimal visual effect it is good that these two elements are aligned.
If for particular design reasons the mirror is round or in any case smaller than the piece of furniture, this must be centered with respect to the sink.

A round mirror should be positioned about 160cm from the ground in order to almost perfectly center the gaze of the user.
The round mirror in most cases will not have the same width as that of the piece of furniture so the recommendation is to position the mirror centered with respect to the size of the washbasin.

If instead you prefer a rectangular mirror, with vertical installation, the distance from the ground to consider is about 150cm. With this position even the tallest people will be able to see themselves in the mirror easily.
If, on the other hand, the rectangular mirror is installed horizontally, the distance from the ground must be a little higher, to allow taller people to feel comfortable in front of the mirror.
