How To Measure Your Space For A Large Wall Mirror 2 Steps

Why should we work backward from this measurement? For large wall mirrors, most all wood-constructed frames come in standard sizes, which are derived from the size of the opening of the frame, not the outside dimensions. The opening can either hold a mirror, or a picture that is equal to that size. The standard size 24x30 framed large wall mirror contains a frame molding that is various inches thick plus, a mirror that is size 24x30. Thus a 24x30 mirror with a 3” thick molding is actually 24” + 3” (moulding width) + 3” (moulding width) = 30” is the actual outside measurement.

<br />\n</p></div>"} Of the standard sizes available, the 16x20 most closely matches these requirements, even though the 20” length is three inches short of the target. You might consider ordering the next size larger, a 20x24, but the 20” width is 4” wider than you need, and the 24” length is 1” longer. Check your space requirements and decide which is best for you. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/9/97/Measure-Your-Space-for-a-Large-Wall-Mirror-Step-2Bullet2-Version-2. jpg/v4-460px-Measure-Your-Space-for-a-Large-Wall-Mirror-Step-2Bullet2-Version-2. jpg”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/9/97/Measure-Your-Space-for-a-Large-Wall-Mirror-Step-2Bullet2-Version-2. jpg/aid1133528-v4-728px-Measure-Your-Space-for-a-Large-Wall-Mirror-Step-2Bullet2-Version-2. jpg",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:345,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:546,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">
