When you are about to leave your home, the last thing you do before leaving is check your appearance in the bathroom mirror. Decorating your bathroom can be an easy task if you already know what you have in mind. A simple design to an elegant get away can be achieved just by adding a few more touches. Vanity mirrors are used in most décor of the bathrooms and sometimes placed in the bedroom, but almost always over a sink or table. They can be purchased from your local home improvement store and help add style and elegance to any bathroom.
In order to find the perfect vanity mirror, the first thing you would need are the measurements of where you are planning on installing the bathroom mirror.

Re-measure before writing down any measurements, there is no room for errors when trying to create the perfect mood in your bathroom.
Once the measurements are written down, it is time to choose your style. Before leaving your home to visit your home improvement store, look around your bathroom and determine your style. If your style is more contemporary furnishings and décor, then be sure to choose a vanity mirror that fits into that style. Stay consistent with your themes, or the outcome of the project might not be exactly what you want.
Once you have the style and measurements, visit your local home improvement stores for quotes based on the size and type that you need. Always measure the vanity mirrors before purchasing them, even though they might say one size on the label, your tape measure might not be the same one they used to get that size. If you know the size of the space at home, then the measurements of the mirror at the store should match, regardless of what is on the box or labels. Pick up the materials you will need to hang the mirror, if you do not already have them at home, such as the hammer and the picture hook.
