Default 3m long ensuite vanity - 3 mirrors

I want our 3m mirror to consist of 3 smaller mirrors, so they are joined vertically. Where would you recommend for the joins to be?

This is our vanity design:

I'm thinking one at either end, the width of the drawers, and then a larger one in the middle. (Assuming that the basins are placed in the centre of each set of doors, is that right?)

Are you having cabinets behind the mirrors, or is it just a mirror?

I was thinking the same thing M. But our drawers are only 400mm wide. Is that still ok? The basins will be centred in the double door space.

No cabinets. Just mirrors

My initial thought was to bring each outside mirror into the middle of the double doors, so the width of the drawers and one cupboard, then with a larger mirror in the centre. BUT, I thought that havng the 'seam' where the mirrors meet in the middle of where the basins sit might look a bit weird. Would you agree?

I thought about that too, but would rather not have a join in the middle of my face

That was my other thought

I think as long as the lines of the mirrors match up with the lines of the cabinetry, you're on a winner!

ouch. what is the largest expanse of mirror they will do for you? 2m, 2.5m? im wondering if its worth having the biggest size possible centred on the cabinet, then having small side strips.. you could even do these in a contrast e.g. a smokey/black or a gold mirror?

i am assuming the mirrors will have no visible fixings?
