Picking the right size for mirror above nightstand can be hard. With queen bed and quite big nightstands commonly compare sizes as 31×43 or 24×32 inches Both work, but everything depends on the style and proportions of the room.
Square mirror of medium to big size well match with the proportions of many nightstands. For nightstand wide in 28 inches it matters to count the width and the height of the mirror. Vertical mirror, for instance 34 inches wide and 48 high, gives entirely other impression than square.
How to Choose the Right Mirror for Your Nightstand
The best height for hanging mirror above nightstand is 4 to 6 inches above the surface. Even so it ranges according to the size of the mirror and the height of the nightstand. It works to also hang it so that the bottom edge is 6 to 8 inches above the nightstand.
When you install mirror behind nightstand, 6 to 9 inches above the top of the table is a reliavle way.
Mirrors you can lay directly behind the nightstand, a bit above or hang up. That opens many choices for picking. Shape and frame of the mirror matter to reach the wanted look.
Rustic wooden frames work for country bedroom. Black framed mirror is simple but good alternative. Little mirrors go well with tiny wooden nightstands.
Golden metal frame mirror perfectly fits in little space.
Mirror frames come in all forms, sizes and materials, so almost always it is possible to find one for the whole design. The NISSEDAL mirror offers 25 5/8 x 25 5/8 inches in white, black or walnut look. Bigger version of NISSEDAL is 25 5/8 x 59 inches with classic style, that works for bedroom and bathroom.
You can hang it vertically or horizontally according to your wish.
Accent mirror of around 32 inches high and wide well suit above sideboard or nightstand. It hangs vertically or horizontally to fit the space. Right proportion of the mirror matters especially at big table with lamp, because it affects the place.
