Bathroom Mirror and Shaving Cabinet Guide

Choose mirrors, LED mirrors and shaving cabinets by size, storage and lighting needs.

Choose mirrors, LED mirrors and shaving cabinets by size, storage and lighting needs.

Quick answer: measure the space, confirm inclusions, check compatibility with plumbing and installation, then choose the finish.

Choose the right width

  • A mirror can match the vanity width or sit slightly narrower with balanced side margins.
  • For double vanities, consider one wide mirror or two separated mirrors.
  • Check tapware height and splashback position before setting mirror height.

Mirror or shaving cabinet

  • A plain mirror keeps the wall visually light and works well when storage exists elsewhere.
  • A shaving cabinet adds useful everyday storage above the vanity.
  • Recessed cabinets need wall cavity checks before installation.

LED and power planning

  • LED mirrors need electrical planning before walls are closed or tiled.
  • Check whether the product requires a switch, hardwiring or nearby power.
  • Consider task lighting for shaving and makeup, not only decorative glow.
