Which is worse - off center bath sconces or mirrors?

Hi
Help! Trying to update old medicine cabinets (not recessed ). Which is worse - having the mirror centered under the sconces but off center to the faucets. Or, the sconces off center to the mirror but the mirror centered to the faucets? In a picture, having the mirrors centered under the sconces looks better but in real life when i am using the faucet it is really strange seeing the bottom of the mirror off centered to it.

Thoughts or experience with this problem?
Thanks

    This can be tricky to the eye as it will not seem balanced in either option for you. My advice is to truly make them all align. If it is the lighting that is preventing you from doing this, there are very inexpensive new lights to purchase from a Home Depot level on up that have a larger back plate on them that will hide the old electrical hole placement. If that is not an option at this point you will notice more if the mirror is off center than any other component.

    I hope this is helpful to you!

    Best,

    Elizabeth

      To me the second pic looks better, least noticeable in my opinion

      I think centering to the light fixture looks better.

      Center the mirror over each sink and at a height which allows you to fully see your face and hair...may be tricky if one of you is very tall and the other is short. Center the light fixture over the sink, too.

      Thanks for all your feedback. It sounds like i need to just do it right and center it all. I was quoted $600 to move the 2 sconces, which I was hoping to avoid :(. Elizabeth thanks for the suggestion of buying new ones with bigger back plates. Maybe there ARE new sconces that i could put in that could be centered and would just be a replacement and cheaper in total than moving my current ones. Fingers crossed :).

      What about one light fixture (simple white glass, maybe) that extends the whole width of the countertop?

      Maybe get another quote to move the sconce j-boxes? $600 does seem pricey for such a simple change, but maybe that includes some drywall repair as-needed? I think you'll be happy you did it right in the end as it does look much better to have all the elements on the same centerline.

      Just had this same issue due to the cabinet being measured incorrect. Thankfully the custom cabinet company did the right thing; removed the built in medicine chest, the dry wall, the sconces and rebuilt everything. Yes, it was a hassle and I am so glad it was fixed I would have hated things being off centered after all the work building the bathroom. I strongly suggest you get another bid or two the $600.00 does seem high

      I would use one big mirror so it won't be as noticeable.

      I would get a long bar light and center it on the wall and leave the mirrors where they are .

      Sometimes those lights have a little sliding room.

      One large mirror with a pretty frame.

      $600 is ridiculous. Get multiple quotes, and you will get a wide spread in pricing. I wouldn't pay more than $200. Just FYI, most electricians don't patch drywall.
