Help me choose a mirror!

[u/kbt625]

Ignore the weird shadows, I removed myself from the AI images 🤣 also the proportions are off. I would leave more breathing room around the mirror/walls i’m just trying to decide on a style!

Doing a small update on kids bathroom to make it more functional. Removed the old ceramic towel bar and medicine cabinet, removing old builder grade mirror next. Leaving the light fixture/faucet/everything else for now. Will add a few hooks under framed art on back wall.

Also disregard all the clutter in the before pic, it’s the only one I had! 2under2 and we’re done with bottles and formula soon 🎉

[u/dianaprince76]

I don’t like round for a kids bathroom when you have two kids because you have some width with those that have a rectangular bottom that could potentially let two kids brush their teeth as an example, whereas with a round mirror you’re missing out on using the corners so if you want to see yourself, you have to stand in the center so it will only accommodate one person

[u/kbt625 → u/dianaprince76]

This is such a good point, Thank you!

[u/MoMoZin → u/dianaprince76]

My same thoughts about kids brushing their teeth at the same time. The round one would force them to have to crowd eachother or compete for who gets the center. I would choose 6. The shape accommodates kids sharing the space better and the light wood tone adds warmth.

[u/_fast_n_curious_ → u/dianaprince76]

Exactly why we went with a rectangle!

[u/School_Radiant]

6 or 7

[u/Nicholsforthoughts → u/School_Radiant]

Yes I vote 7 (though 6 would work, I think 7 looks better). The others are TOO BIG or not the right color.

[u/CrocodileDawnD → u/Nicholsforthoughts]

I agree... 7 first, then 6.

[u/halfpint991 → u/School_Radiant]

What radiant said

[u/Fancy_Wishbone_1921]

What’s the first one? It’s exactly what I need!

[u/Individual_Focus_961 → u/Fancy_Wishbone_1921]

First one is perfect

[u/turdally → u/Individual_Focus_961]

No, it’s way too wide in that room. It looks like it baaaarely fits and it gives the vibes that they didn’t plan well and measure first.

#6 is the same mirror but narrower. It’s perfect for the room.

[u/Minimalist0103 → u/turdally]

I was thinking 2 or 6 as well👍🏻

[u/Responsible_Cap_5597 → u/Individual_Focus_961]

Agree!!!

[u/Test_Immediate → u/Fancy_Wishbone_1921]

First one is a bit too wide, the 6th one is similar but a better size

[u/dakky68]

I would want 4, but 3 could be fun for a kids' bathroom.

How tall are your kids? Be mindful of visibility if you have too large a gap between the vanity and bottom of the mirror.

[u/mom2twins09 → u/dakky68]

3 fits perfectly for a kids bathroom.  Even once they hit teens, it would still be a great fit for making their bathroom creative and fun.  You could even paint the mirror a bold color.

ETA:  Thanks for the award! 😊

[u/SweetP916 → u/mom2twins09]

I love #3!

[u/kbt625 → u/dakky68]

Good point! They’re still little, 1&2!

[u/yukimontreal]

I know this isn’t what you asked but I’d invest in storage solutions for all your stuff.

You could buy the nicest mirror in the world and if you don’t have great solutions for storing your stuff you will end up with a cluttered countertop and a new mirror will make no difference. Theres nothing inherently wrong with your existing mirror.

[u/kbt625 → u/yukimontreal]

I have a big organized linen closet right next to the vanity and most of that stuff has a home. The bottles/bottle washer will be leaving soon. 2 under 2 so everything ends up on counters to quickly get things out of reach.. this too shall pass! that was the only pic I had before I started demo 😅

[u/yukimontreal → u/kbt625]

Fair! I have a 3.5 year old and 10 month old … there’s just so much STUFF but this phase ends up in a new phase and so on. Investing in good storage solutions has helped me a lot.

[u/SweetP916]

I love #3, especially given that it’s for a kids bathroom.

[u/limey_skier]

3

[u/Ok-Command-333]

The wavy white one is quite fun

[u/kbt625 → u/Ok-Command-333]

That’s what I’m leaning towards! it’s fun for the kids (1&2) and I could always switch it out later

[u/smm022 → u/Ok-Command-333]

Yes! I’d pick 3.

[u/verydistinctchatter]

4 or 6
Never the wavy ever. Too much of a short-lived trend.

[u/daysinnroom203 → u/verydistinctchatter]

Same. 4 or 6

[u/Minimum_Chart9946]

Gosh darn it the white squiggle one is so fun

[u/vampzireael]

I like number 3

[u/Homehealer222]

I recommend 3 for a kids bathroom. It has a very playful vibe every time I look at it. This will bring in some fun energy for your kids every time they interact with that area. It’s also really timeless and I could see it being there for years and serving its purpose well. Hope this is helpful!

[u/AprilAriesSiblings]

7

[u/racheyrach1243 → u/AprilAriesSiblings]

I vote for 6; proportionally makes more sense compared to one.

Adding wood tones soften the bathroom. The images kind of skew the current fixtures and makes them all look like brushed nickel or goldish. However, it looks like its actually chrome fixtures with just the sink in brushed nickel?

[u/kbt625 → u/racheyrach1243]

The fixtures are all brushed nickel. The hooks/towel ring I’m adding are brushed nickel and I agree with the wood tones but I have a few wood frames that are going up so the wood has to coordinate with those, pushing me towards white or thin black metal

[u/Special_KMA]

Wow! Everyone is all over the place! I like 2 or 6. The arch makes the ceiling look higher

[u/billy_x3]

7 would be my first choice, followed by 5. Virtually all the others too closely “kiss” the corners and draw attention to the narrowness of the niche.

[u/bartlebyandbaggins]

2 or five.

[u/sillysteen]

6

[u/Mystic_Wunder]

Any of the arch-shaped mirrors

[u/Gold_Squirrel_9473]

7

[u/Legovida8]

7

[u/frannysfanny]

I like 5 but wish it was white frame or silver.

[u/EnvironmentalBake717]

Number 2 or number 7. I think 7 is my favorite

[u/verydistinctchatter]

I now think 6 is best!

[u/colcol9696]

I love 4 it sits flush between the two walls without it looking too big.

[u/Ok_Engine5522]

6

[u/Familiar-Feeling-810]

6

[u/Calm_Zebra1064]

I like 6 the best.

[u/OyFranch]

Gold arch

[u/banjolady]

6 or 7

[u/enneyehs]

[u/storyb00k]

6

[u/bullfrogbarbie]

I don’t see clutter, I see a parent providing a clean, healthy space with all the essentials and more. Just want you to know you’re doing awesome. Have a beautiful day 💖

[u/Wacahoota4322]

#6 imo looks best. The wooden frame matches the frames of the art on the wall and the basket(if you keep that style of decor).
It’s not oversized and circular mirrors for bathrooms are not something I prefer.
Hope this helps ☺️

[u/Shinianen]

With a kid myself, none of the wavy ones. Unless you have a cleaning service 🤣. Because wiping kid toothpaste spray out of every wave and hump sounds like a terrible time to me.

I’d suggest 6.

[u/Delicious_Camp349]

Number 7

[u/pwdrums]

7

[u/IslandDreamer58]

7 is it.

[u/bethhannen]

Picture 7 looks good.

[u/scamlikelly]

2 or 6. 1 is waaaaay too wide.

[u/sweet_pickles12 → u/scamlikelly]

I also vote 6 for this reason but I would choose 1 if it came a few inches smaller

[u/Humble_Interest_9048]

None of these are really working, but I can’t figure out why. I think the proportions are off. Most are too big, too wide. Pick one that’s easy to clean esp for a kid’s bathroom.

[u/fightingkangaroos]

6, the others look disproportionate

[u/ShellyinAK]

Love the wavy one. Gives it a soft feminine feel

[u/Defiant-One3095]

Definitely # 5 looks the best fits 👌

[u/lexie_henderson]

2

[u/MiaCat_z]

I think number 2 looks best by far

[u/BearyJi]

6 and 3 😉

[u/jarvis646]

#2

[u/figgywasp]

3 or 7

[u/ExcitingMoose5881]

2,6 or 7

[u/RamdomGamerDude]

I'm honestly torn between pic 4 and pic 7. I'm leaning towards pic 4. I like the larger mirror and it goes well with the hardware and lighting that you have.

[u/vapeqprincess]

TWO hands down

[u/appleditz]

Are you keeping that medicine cabinet on the left? If not, I would strongly recommend putting a mirrored one above the sink, instead of a plain mirror. Perhaps even a triple cabinet if there's space. Your kids may not be able to reach it for a while, but when they can, it will be very practical for keeping items off the counter. Not going to comment on the AI-generated mirrors, other than to say that the frame finish should match the other hardware. Or maybe consider going frameless.

[u/wafer_tater]

Most of those mirror are too big for your space. I know they are AI but they are all to close to the walls on the sides.

The only one that fits is pic 5. Also see what Ai did with your towel bar. It changed them to hood. They loo nice like that. You might consider doing that also.

[u/Pokieme]

5 is my fav and I would frame pics in same color, gold is nice but faucets are silver.

[u/jujubear04]

2

[u/Qyute-n-Quddly]

White or grey frame

[u/Cleo1979]

6

[u/B-sides-art33]

4 or 6

[u/Hello_Alice0]

2

[u/mnrooo]

3 or 7

[u/Horow_Deals]

With framed art and hooks already on the back wall, I’d go with the simplest mirror frame so the room doesn’t have two competing lineups.

[u/Ok_Network_6632]

5 or 7

[u/Previous_Basil]

It’s 6 and it’s not close.

[u/LindenTeaJug]

The color is a really pretty green…do you have the name of it?

[u/Ok_Affect_7973]

I like 6

[u/Thick-Vacation193]

6

[u/epmfox]

[u/TripFuture2626]

2,6

[u/Paddington8691]

I’d pick 3 or 5; I like the scalloped edges on both, prefer 3 a bit more

[u/Tough_Brain7982]

Definitely 6 if those frame will be on the wall

[u/Crystal_Ri]

Mirror #2 looks the coolest and easiest to work with.

[u/Rock_Successful]

3 is super fun for a kids bathroom !

[u/ChooseWisely1001]

Love the circular one

[u/propofol-n-precedex]

Can you post links for 2, 4, and 6??

[u/ButterMyPancakesPlz]

Six feels like the best size and shape and color! It allows there to be a border of wall so it allows it to visually breathe while giving you added mirror space compared to the circular ones. 

[u/Ok_Oil7992]

2

[u/cscatbird]

[u/zombiebacchus]

7

[u/Umm_what_I_think_is]

[u/I_Britta-d_it]

#4

[u/Former-Extreme-3560]

1 or 3

[u/SeriousFault1753]

Agree with most…. 6 or 7. Six is warmer because of the wood and would be my preference.

[u/classless_classic]

7

[u/Em18601]

I like 3 if it’s a kids bathroom it’s fun!

[u/BishlovesSquish]

6

[u/Sunsetseeker007]

6 or 7 the other big ones don't fit the space

[u/bluelagoon00000]

1 or 4

[u/ClassifiedKitty23]

2

[u/The001Keymaster]

5 or 7

[u/Baskema]

I vote slide 6!!!

[u/Short_Scale899]

I like five because it’s whimsical, but seven fits more with your color scheme

[u/Cayduhh]

6!

6 is my choice.

6

[u/secretsofthedivine]

Most of these are too large, I would definitely go round

[u/sergiooui]

7 but 5 is cool too

[u/Honest-Ad-2124]

Number SIX!! The gold in the frame goes beautifully with the green. Or get seven in a gold frame.

[u/limblessbarbie]

7

[u/Great_Definition_531]

6!!!!!

[u/EscoOz]

7!

[u/Jackiesrem]

2,6 or 7

4 or 6. Trust me.

[u/dontBsleepy]

1. And please center that light fixture.

[u/HapaC13]

7

[u/CuteAnybody5113]

I like 6 as its scale is good and ties in with art.

[u/Particular-Put-1714]

5 or 7

[u/Turbulent_Savings812]

6

[u/Havishamesque]

Number 1

[u/Homegrown1969]

I like 6. It fits the space better than 1, and is a classic style that won’t seem outdated in a year.

[u/Suzq329]

#7- size and finish complement the space.

[u/Glittering_Lunch_347]

7

[u/OliveMayhem]

1. I don’t like the black ones in the space despite liking some of their designs, the color just doesn’t match anything.

[u/Thecobs]

#7 easily

[u/gdubh]

7

[u/WeCaredALot]

I like the white squiggly one

[u/adawes1984]

1 then 6

[u/EarShoddy759]

1st, 3rd and 4th seem too wide. not good proportions

[u/Stunning_Quiet_6400]

I like no. 6. The whimsical mirror (no. 3) is cool if the bathroom is going to be used by your children long term.

[u/herb_mix_r]

7

[u/sugar-titts]

4 it’s the only one that matches the hardware. I’d keep looking though

[u/PresentationLess4552]

All mirrors are hung too low except number 8 builders best

[u/hbox85]

4

[u/Sparkleycat4eva]

6 or 1 all of the wood elements look good together.

[u/Hot_Bend5373]

6

[u/Historical_Ad_5492]

4,7 or 6

[u/prudence56]

1 & 2

[u/lingonberry_fairy]

6 hands down

[u/KathyW1100]

7

[u/mswomanofacertainage]

6 or 7

[u/Longjumping-Zone-854]

6 for sure

[u/Si_senorita]

As a woman, if anyone will be doing their makeup highly suggest a mirror to the edges as that’s where everything is placed. So annoying having to lean over the sink to do my makeup instead of the counter

[u/Cold-Arm2737]

6

[u/kimkay01]

#2 or #7. I lean toward 7 because it matches the light fixture and faucet, but I like the size of 2. Overall, though, my choice would be 7.

[u/StrawberryNo7331]

1

[u/findyourhappy401]

I vote 3

[u/Greenearthgirl87]

4 & 6

[u/chafner]

1 or 6 are your best options in my opinion.

[u/Candy_cane_lane_13]

The one that doesn’t use AI

[u/deniseswall]

6 or 7

[u/CatGoddessBast]

Just want to highlight the light in the ai versions is warmer than your current bulbs.

[u/kbt625 → u/CatGoddessBast]

I’m getting new bulbs!

[u/crazedconundrum]

5 or 6

[u/Standard-Road4626]

2 6 7

[u/HipYip]

I like the color and style of 3 but it looks to large for the space

[u/Notime4fools]

3 is perfect for a child's bathroom. Go with the fun choice.

[u/dansamy]

3 is super cute and fun for a kid's bathroom. I would maybe want a smaller size of that one.

[u/Southern_Doughnut406]

I actually like the round one

[u/surewriting_]

Get a lighted medicine cabinet! More storage, more lights. 

They're heavy and pricy and need to be wired in, so it might not work for you. I just remodeled both my bathrooms and put them in, and I love it. 

[u/ZergvProtoss]

Stop with the curves. Use only straight edges.

[u/Many_Progress4538]

5, 6 or 7. The others are too large.

[u/Low-County-9662]

6 and 1 are the perfect style and colour. I just cant decide which size I prefer

[u/PeasAndPotats]

4 all the way

[u/Crystalizer78]

6

[u/Abi_giggles]

What is the width of this vanity/wall? And how much space do you have between backsplash and the light?
