Selecting a mirror for a 36-inch wide bathroom cabinet involves determining the appropriate dimensions of the reflective surface to achieve visual balance and functionality. The selection process should consider both the width of the vanity and the desired aesthetic.
A well-proportioned mirror enhances the overall design of the bathroom, improves task lighting for activities such as grooming, and can create the illusion of a larger space. Historically, mirror size was dictated by manufacturing capabilities; however, contemporary options offer a wide range of dimensions, shapes, and styles to suit individual preferences.
