MIRROR CABINETS ✅ Main Benefit: Increased Space & Storage

HiB Essence 60 Cabinet Mirror Art N.o 51100

Our price: £315.20

HiB Groove 60 Bluetooth LED Illuminated Mirror Cabinet Art N.o 48400

Our price: £489.50

If you find you’re struggling for bathroom space, a mirror cabinet could be your solution. Depending on your build, some cabinets fit into a wall cavity, resulting in the mirror being flush with the wall, or it can be wall-mounted as an actual cupboard.

Many have adjustable shelves so you can change it to suit your lifestyle.

By keeping items such as toothpastes, brushes and skincare bottles, it eliminates clutter around your basin or window ledge, to embrace a minimalist and organised surrounding.

ILLUMINATED/LED MIRRORS ✅ Main Benefit: Ambience & Lighting

HiB Boundary 50 60 LED Illuminated Mirror Art N.o 79540500

From: £237.96

HiB Element 60 LED Illuminated Bathroom Mirror Art No. 79430000

Our price: £285.75

We know the feeling all too well of plodding to the bathroom in the middle of the night and being thrown off by the harsh lighting. An illuminated mirror can resolve this. Look for a dimmable one or one with warm white light.

*Pro tip* some mirrors have a spectrum of warm-cool light you can choose from!

Mirrors with lighting can also provide a better view for getting ready for work or an event. It can be quite frustrating when you leave the house to realise you missed a few hairs during your morning shave or your makeup isn’t as great as it could have been, because you struggled with the available bright light!

SHAVING/MAGNIFIED MIRRORS ✅ Main Benefit: Practicality & Convenience

Perrin And Rowe Traditional Wall Mounted Shaving Mirror 6918

From: £408.00

Hoshi Square LED Cosmetic Mirror with x5 Magnification - Chrome DIMS0122

Our price: £166.60

Shaving mirrors are excellent for enhanced magnification and seeing small hairs/intricacies when getting ready or for anything you’re doing up close.

Most provide extreme magnification so you can position yourself easily, without getting awkwardly close to a standard mirror to see what you’re doing – these also make great gifts!

Some also have swivel features which can be a sweet addition.

CLASSIC MIRRORS ✅ Main Benefit: Style & Purpose

As the saying goes, old is gold! Classic mirrors offer you exactly what mirrors do – nothing more or less than a stunning reflection.

A whole host of varying shapes are available; some unique examples include the mirrors below:

Perrin And Rowe Traditional Oval Mirror 6982

From: £364.61

Perrin And Rowe Traditional Octagonal Mirror 6980

From: £311.95

Zack Xero Swivelling Mirror Wall Mounted 40021

Our price: £91.95

Zack Alona LED Cosmetic Mirror 40140

Our price: £128.55

SMART MIRRORS ✅ Main Benefit: Ease of use & Luxury Functionality

These mirrors may be at the higher end of one’s budget, but their integrated tech features serve priceless benefits!

Some include LED lighting, Bluetooth speakers, glass shelves inside cabinets, sensor-switch operation, an inner heated pad to clear condensation, shaver sockets and more.

How do you decide the right mirror for your space?

Whether it’s for a living room, kitchen, bathroom or bedroom, we have a few food-for-thought questions.

Functionality/Purpose?

Seeking solely a mirrored surface, or perhaps a magnifying mirror, or one that doubles as a cabinet? Choose which functions you desire in your dream space, at a smart price. If you fancy a mirror that you think is out of your budget, give our clearance section a try – we’re constantly updating our website to ensure the best deals are available for you.

Size?

Practically, how big is your space? A large-sized mirror is a great way to fill big spaces and make them more comfortable. With smaller spaces, a world of versatile mirrors open up – some include swivel features that close in on themselves, offering you excellent close-up magnification at a space you won’t need to sacrifice. Additionally, depending on space, mirror cabinets are a brilliant way to optimise space. They offer shelves and integrated options such as shaving sockets and LED lights – 1 space for all your essentials!
