Selecting the perfect LED mirror for your bathroom requires precise measurements to ensure a proper fit and optimal functionality. At LED Mirror World, we aim to make this process as straightforward as possible. Here’s a detailed guide on how to measure for a new LED mirror, ensuring that it fits perfectly in your New Zealand home.
Step 1: Determine the Placement
Identify the Location
- Above the Vanity: The most common placement for a bathroom mirror is above the vanity. Determine whether the mirror will be centered over a single or double sink.
- Full-Length Placement: If you’re installing a full-length mirror, decide whether it will be wall-mounted or leaning against the wall.
Consider the Surrounding Space
- Adjacent Fixtures: Take note of nearby fixtures such as light sconces, outlets, and cabinetry. Ensure that the mirror’s placement doesn’t interfere with these elements.
- Wall Space: Measure the total available wall space to determine the maximum dimensions for your mirror.
Step 2: Measure the Width
Single Sink Vanity
- Standard Width: For a single sink vanity, a good rule of thumb is to choose a mirror that is 2 to 4 inches narrower than the vanity width. This ensures a balanced look and allows for some breathing space around the mirror.
- Example: If your vanity is 36 inches wide, a mirror that is 28 to 34 inches wide would be ideal.
Double Sink Vanity
- Proportional Width: For a double sink vanity, you can choose one large mirror that spans the width of both sinks or two individual mirrors above each sink. For a single large mirror, aim for a width that is 2 to 4 inches narrower than the vanity. For two mirrors, each should be about 2 to 4 inches narrower than half the vanity width.
- Example: For a 60-inch wide double sink vanity, you can choose one 52 to 56-inch wide mirror or two 26 to 28-inch wide mirrors.
Step 3: Measure the Height
Standard Height
- Eye Level: The mirror’s height should be centered around eye level. A typical range for bathroom mirror height is 28 to 36 inches, depending on the ceiling height and the users’ heights.
- Above the Sink: Ensure there’s enough space between the bottom of the mirror and the sink or faucet to avoid splashes and make cleaning easier. A gap of about 4 to 6 inches is standard.
Full-Length Mirror
- Floor to Ceiling: For full-length mirrors, measure from the floor to the desired height on the wall. Ensure there’s adequate clearance above and below the mirror for a balanced look.
Step 4: Consider the Depth
Mirror Thickness
- Standard Thickness: LED mirrors typically have a thickness of 1 to 2 inches due to the integrated lighting and other features. Ensure the mirror’s thickness is compatible with your wall space and doesn’t protrude excessively.
- Wall-Mounted Fixtures: Check for any wall-mounted fixtures such as light sconces or shelves that might interfere with the mirror’s placement.
Step 5: Check for Electrical Requirements
Power Source
- Outlet Placement: Ensure there’s a nearby electrical outlet to power the LED mirror. The outlet should be easily accessible and not obstructed by the mirror.
- Wiring Considerations: If the mirror requires hardwiring, ensure the electrical wiring is in place. You may need to consult an electrician for proper installation.
Additional Features
- Smart Controls: If your LED mirror includes smart features such as touch sensors or Bluetooth speakers, ensure that all necessary electrical connections and controls are accessible.
Step 6: Measure Twice
Double-Check Measurements
- Accuracy: Double-check all measurements to ensure accuracy. Mistakes can lead to improper fit or additional costs, so it’s crucial to get the measurements right the first time.
- Assistance: It can be helpful to have another person assist with measuring, especially for larger mirrors. They can hold the measuring tape and ensure accurate readings.
Step 7: Select the Right Mirror
Choose the Style
- Design Preferences: With your measurements in hand, browse LED Mirror World’s selection of mirrors to find one that matches your style and fits your bathroom’s dimensions.
- Custom Options: If standard sizes don’t meet your needs, consider customizable LED mirrors that can be made to your exact specifications.
