What size LED mirror for a 1500mm vanity?

A 1500mm vanity takes two 600–700mm mirrors or one 1000mm+ oval or rectangular mirror. For a double-basin 1500mm vanity, two VLM-02s (700×700mm each) is the most common builder spec. For a single-feature piece, the VLFR-01 round framed (700×700mm) works as a deliberate design choice — though most builders on volume projects still specify two smaller mirrors for the symmetry and individual lighting they provide.

Why 1500mm vanities almost always take two mirrors

A 1500mm vanity is typically a double-vanity configuration — two basins, two users, a generous bench. In this layout, a single centred mirror creates a functional problem: one user has the light source directly in front of them, the other is partially off-axis. For grooming tasks, off-axis lighting creates shadows. Two mirrors, each centred above a basin, solve this without any design compromise.

The standard spec for a double-basin 1500mm vanity is two VLM-02s (700mm round each). Placed 375mm from each vanity end, with 100mm gap between mirrors at the centre, the installation covers both basins symmetrically and leaves adequate wall margin at the outer edges. This configuration is also the easiest for electricians — two GPOs or two hardwire points at standard rough-in height, one behind each mirror.

Single mirror options for 1500mm vanities

If the design brief calls for a single feature mirror — usually in a luxury master bathroom or a hotel suite where the aesthetic is intentional — the options are:

• VLFR-01 round framed (700×700mm): Landscape orientation, framed, works as a centred feature piece. Best for single-basin 1500mm vanities with a feature wall context.
• Rectangular mirror 1200–1400mm wide: Full-width look, requires precise installation, makes a strong horizontal statement in industrial and contemporary bathrooms.
• Two VLM-04s (700×700mm each): Over a very wide 1500mm double-basin vanity where both users want a larger mirror — this is the premium hotel spec. Requires careful spacing and two robust stud fixing points.

For a single-basin 1500mm vanity (more common in custom joinery than standard builds), any mirror up to 1200mm wide is proportionally appropriate. The 10–20% narrower rule allows up to 1350mm, but practically, a mirror wider than 1200mm on a residential install requires two people to hang and starts to read as a commercial piece unless the bathroom scale supports it.

The VLFR-01 round framed on a 1500mm vanity — when it works

The VLFR-01 round framed is 800mm wide by 600mm tall, framed in brushed aluminium. It sits lower on the wall than a round mirror of similar width, which suits bathrooms with lower ceiling heights or where a horizontal emphasis is part of the design language. On a single-basin 1500mm vanity, it creates a deliberate focal point without dominating the wall. It is not a double-vanity solution — the 800mm width does not span both basins adequately for individual grooming use.

For feature master bathrooms, the VLFR-01 pairs well with stone benchtops, warm-toned tapware, and brushed gold accessories. The frame finish is available in brushed gold or brushed black — choose based on the dominant metal finish in the bathroom. See the single vs two mirrors guide for a full breakdown of the lighting-zone tradeoffs.

Electrical rough-in for 1500mm double-mirror installs

Two mirrors on a 1500mm vanity require two independent power connections. If specifying GPO (plug-in), mark two GPO positions during rough-in — typically 150mm above the finished floor height of the mirror base, centred behind each mirror. For hardwire, mark two conduit exits at the same positions. Confirm the electrical layout with the electrician before tiling — repositioning after tiles are on is expensive.

Both the VLM-02 and VLFR-01 include a 1.5m AU plug cord and hardwire pigtail. For a two-mirror install with hardwire, two separate circuits or one circuit with two independent outlets are both acceptable — confirm with the certifying electrician.

Ordering at volume

Multi-unit residential and hotel projects specifying two mirrors per 1500mm vanity benefit from consolidated ordering. VUELUXE holds VLM-02 stock for volume builders and can schedule staged deliveries to site. For projects specifying the VLFR-01 or custom-size rectangular mirrors, contact VUELUXE early — non-stock formats have extended lead times. Full product dimensions, CAD drawings, and wiring diagrams are available through the products hub.

Summary

• 1500mm vanity: two VLM-02s (700mm round each) is the standard double-basin spec
• VLFR-01 round framed (700×700mm) is the single feature-piece option
• Single wide mirror above a double-basin 1500mm vanity creates off-axis lighting — avoid
• Two-mirror installs need two independent power connections — mark rough-in before tiling
• Stud fix both mirrors; 1500mm span typically has a stud behind each mirror position
