An LED mirror can transform a bathroom… provided it is the right size and at the right height. Too small, it disappears above the vanity; too large, it overwhelms the room. Here are our simple rules for choosing the size of your LED mirror and placing it correctly above the sink.

The golden rule: the width of the vanity

The most reliable guide is the width of your vanity.

• The mirror should not be wider than the vanity. Ideally, it is slightly narrower, by a few centimeters on each side.
• For a single-sink vanity measuring 60 to 80 cm, a round mirror with a diameter of 60 to 70 cm is an excellent choice. This is the case with the 70 cm round mirrors in our range.
• For a vanity measuring 100 cm or more, opt for a large rectangular or organically shaped mirror, such as the Aria, or two identical round mirrors above a double sink.

Round, rectangular, or teardrop-shaped?

• A round mirror softens a very boxy bathroom (square tiles, straight vanity). It adds a decorative and warm touch. See the Nova or the Diamant.
• A rectangular mirror offers the largest reflection area: ideal for applying makeup or shaving.
• Organic shapes (teardrop, arch) provide a more contemporary and original style.

At what height should the mirror be mounted?

Two guidelines are enough:

• The bottom of the mirror is generally placed between 15 and 25 cm above the sink or faucet to avoid splashes and leave room for the mixer tap.
• The center of the mirror should be approximately at eye level for users, around 1.60 m from the floor for an average-height adult.

If several people of very different heights use the bathroom, opt for a taller mirror so that everyone can see themselves clearly.

Checks before drilling

• The power supply: our LED mirrors connect to a 220 V supply. Plan for a cable outlet or junction box behind the mirror so that no wires are visible.
• The distance from the shower or bathtub: in bathrooms, the NF C 15-100 standard regulates electrical appliances based on their distance from water. If in doubt, ask an electrician for advice.
• The wall: check the type of wall (plasterboard, concrete, tiles) to choose the right wall plugs.
• The level: a slightly tilted mirror is immediately noticeable, especially with LED lighting.

Choosing the right lighting

Size is not everything: lighting matters just as much. Choose a mirror with several color temperatures (warm, neutral, and cool light): warm for a relaxing atmosphere, neutral for makeup, and cool for shaving. The anti-fog function is also a real plus after a shower. We explain these criteria in detail in our anti-fog LED mirror guide.

In summary

• A mirror slightly narrower than the vanity.
• The bottom 15–25 cm above the sink, the center at eye level.
• A shape that balances your room: round to soften, rectangular for surface area.
• A power supply planned behind the mirror.
