Frequently Asked Questions
The difference is in how the edges of the glass are finished:
- Pencil edge mirrors have a simple, slightly rounded edge with a clean, minimal profile. They suit modern and contemporary bathrooms where a streamlined look is preferred.
- Bevel edge mirrors have an angled cut along the border of the glass, creating a subtle frame effect that catches the light. They add a touch of elegance and work well in both traditional and modern settings.
Both styles are frameless and wall-mounted, so the choice comes down to personal preference and the look you want to achieve.
As a general guide, your mirror should be no wider than your vanity — ideally the same width or slightly narrower. This creates a balanced, proportional look. For height, the mirror should be tall enough for all household members to see themselves comfortably. Common mirror sizes include:
- 600mm x 750mm — suits compact vanities and powder rooms
- 750mm x 900mm — a popular mid-size for standard bathrooms
- 900mm x 750mm — wider format for larger vanities
- 1200mm x 800mm — suits double-basin vanities and wide wall spaces
If you have a particularly high ceiling, a taller mirror can make the room feel more spacious and open.
A shaving cabinet (also called a mirror cabinet) is a wall-mounted cabinet with a mirrored door or doors on the front. It functions as both a mirror and a storage unit — the shelves inside are ideal for storing toiletries, medications, razors, and small items you want to keep off the benchtop. A standard mirror is a flat reflective panel with no storage behind it. Choose a shaving cabinet if you need extra storage, or a flat mirror if you prefer a slimmer, more minimal profile on the wall.
Rectangular mirrors are the traditional choice and work well above most vanity shapes and sizes. They provide a wide field of view and pair naturally with the straight lines of a vanity cabinet. Round mirrors have become increasingly popular in modern bathrooms — they soften the look of a room full of straight edges and hard angles. Round mirrors work particularly well above wall-hung vanities and in smaller bathrooms where they can make the space feel less boxy. Ultimately, both shapes serve the same purpose — it comes down to the aesthetic you prefer.
Most bathroom mirrors are mounted using one of two methods:
- Mirror adhesive — a strong, purpose-made adhesive applied to the back of the mirror. This gives a clean, seamless look with no visible fixings. It works best on smooth, flat surfaces like tiled walls.
- Mirror clips or brackets — small metal clips screwed into the wall that hold the mirror in place at the top and bottom edges.
Shaving cabinets are typically fixed with screws into the wall (surface-mounted) or into a pre-cut cavity (recessed). Always check for hidden plumbing and electrical wiring before drilling, and use appropriate wall anchors for your wall type. For heavier mirrors and shaving cabinets, fixing into a wall stud provides the most secure mount.

Mirrors & Shaving Cabinets — Buying Guide
A bathroom mirror is one of those essentials that serves both a practical and visual purpose. The right mirror can make a small bathroom feel larger, brighten a dim space, and tie together the overall design. Whether you are after a simple flat mirror or a shaving cabinet with built-in storage, choosing the right one comes down to size, style, and how much storage you need.
Mirror Edge Styles
Frameless bathroom mirrors come in two main edge finishes. Pencil edge mirrors have a smooth, slightly rounded edge that gives a clean and contemporary look — they are the most popular choice for modern bathrooms. Bevel edge mirrors have an angled cut around the border that creates a subtle decorative frame effect and catches the light. Both are wall-mounted and frameless, so the choice is purely about the look you prefer.
Choosing the Right Size
The width of your mirror should match or be slightly narrower than your vanity. A mirror that is wider than the vanity below it can look unbalanced, while one that is too small can feel undersized. For double-basin vanities, you can use a single wide mirror or two individual mirrors side by side. Height is a matter of practicality — make sure the mirror is tall enough for all users to see themselves comfortably, and consider ceiling height when deciding on proportions.
Round vs Rectangular
Rectangular mirrors remain the most common choice and suit the straight lines of most vanity cabinets. Round mirrors have grown in popularity for their ability to soften a room full of hard edges and angles — they work particularly well above wall-hung vanities and in compact spaces. There is no right or wrong choice here; it depends on the look you want to create and the shape of the wall space available.
Shaving Cabinets
If benchtop clutter is a concern, a shaving cabinet combines mirror and storage in one unit. The mirrored front works exactly like a standard mirror, while the shelves behind the door keep toiletries, razors, and medications out of sight. When choosing, make sure the cabinet dimensions suit your wall space and confirm the shelf configuration suits the items you plan to store.
Installation
Flat mirrors can be mounted with mirror adhesive for a seamless look or with mirror clips for a more traditional fixing. Shaving cabinets are typically screwed into the wall. Always check for hidden plumbing and electrical wiring before drilling, especially on wet walls. For heavy mirrors and cabinets, fixing into wall studs or using heavy-duty wall anchors is essential for a secure mount.
