Mirror question for walnut vanity

Anonymous
I have this vanity.





I've decided after rounds and rounds to do a walnut framed mirror like this:



But I don't need to pay room and board prices for a mirror. Even if I was inclined, the manufacturers are different so the stains won't be an exact match.

Any ideas for how to go about picking a mirror that looks good enough/is close enough match? Am I right that slight variations in the wood will be less bothersome than metals that are close but not quite right (how we got here?)

OP here, I found this and think I might go for it!

You might save even more $$ by going to a glass/mirror place, having them cut a mirror to the size you want, and going to a frame place and buying a walnut frame

Recently remodeled 2 bathrooms. I had good luck with HomeDepot.com for mirrors (I purchased 4 mirrors for the 2 rooms). I wanted an easy return if I didn’t like them or if one was damaged. All arrived in great condition. Macys.com also has mirrors.

Be sure to tape out the mirror size on the wall to simulate how it will look once installed. Remember to consider the light fixture placement and backsplash for interference.
