What Size LED Mirror for a 60-Inch Vanity?
Part of our Mirrors & Lighting guides.
Short answer: for a 60-inch vanity, choose a mirror about 45-58 inches wide. A 60-inch vanity is usually a double. You can run one 36x60 mirror horizontally or hang two 24x32 mirrors, one over each sink; two mirrors also let each person have their own light controls.

Our pick for a 60-inch vanity
The recommended VEVOR size fits this width with balanced margins on each side and includes front + backlit LEDs, anti-fog and three color temperatures.
If you keep a plain mirror
Add a vanity light about three-quarters of the mirror width. For this vanity, a matching VEVOR fixture is the right length.
Before you buy
- Measure the wall between obstacles, not just the vanity.
- Find the electrical box: hardwired mirrors need it behind the mirror area.
- Check that cabinet doors or a medicine cabinet won't collide with the mirror.
One mirror vs two
A single 36x60 mirror across a 60-inch double vanity creates a clean, hotel-like look and makes the room feel bigger. Two separate 24x32 mirrors give each sink its own frame and lighting controls, and cost less in total. Two mirrors also suit rooms with a center medicine cabinet or a window between sinks.
Example: two-mirror layout
With sinks centered 30 inches apart, center each 24-inch mirror over a sink. That leaves about 6 inches between mirrors and about 6 inches at each end. The light from two front-lit mirrors overlaps nicely in the middle.
Electrical
A single mirror needs one power point; two mirrors need two, or one box feeding both. Plan this with your electrician if you're moving from a single vanity light.
Price note
When we checked, the 36x60 cost more than the 36x72. If your wall can take 72 inches and the vanity is close to that size, compare both.
