The right mirror can transform a bathroom, making the space feel brighter, larger, and more inviting.

At Mandurah Tile & Stone, we carry a wide selection of bathroom mirrors to suit every style and budget.

From sleek frameless designs to decorative statement pieces, our range gives you the freedom to choose a mirror that enhances both the function and look of your bathroom. Here’s how to choose the right one for your space.

Consider Your Bathroom’s Size and Layout

The dimensions of your bathroom should guide your mirror selection. For smaller bathrooms, larger mirrors create an illusion of space and reflect more light. In spacious bathrooms, you have the flexibility to choose statement pieces or multiple mirrors. 

Remember to consider the ceiling height, as vertical mirrors can make a room feel taller. The placement of your mirror relative to windows and lighting fixtures also matters. Position your mirror to maximise natural light reflection for a brighter, more inviting space.

Match Your Style and Décor

Your bathroom mirror should complement your overall design scheme:

  • Contemporary bathrooms pair well with frameless or minimalist mirrors
  • Traditional spaces benefit from ornate frames or classic shapes
  • Coastal or beach-inspired bathrooms (popular in Mandurah) look stunning with mirrors featuring natural materials like timber or rattan accents

Look at your existing fixtures, cabinet handles, and tapware. Choosing a mirror with complementary metallic finishes creates a cohesive look throughout your bathroom.

Functionality Matters

Think about how you’ll use your mirror daily:

  • LED mirrors provide excellent task lighting for shaving or applying makeup
  • Cabinet mirrors offer valuable storage space, perfect for smaller bathrooms
  • Adjustable or extendable mirrors give flexibility for different users and tasks
  • Anti-fog technology is worth considering for steamy bathrooms

For families, consider the height of all users. A full-length mirror or a mirror positioned at a comfortable height for everyone makes your bathroom more user-friendly.

Types of Bathroom Mirrors to Consider

LED Mirrors

These modern options combine functionality with style. The integrated lighting eliminates shadows on your face, making grooming tasks easier. Many include additional features like demister pads, touch sensors, or colour temperature adjustments.

Vanity Mirrors

Designed specifically to complement your bathroom vanity, these mirrors come in various shapes and sizes. They serve as the focal point of your bathroom while providing practical everyday use.

Cabinet Mirrors

Perfect for maximising storage in limited spaces, cabinet mirrors conceal toiletries and medications while maintaining a clean, uncluttered look. Available in various configurations, they’re a practical solution for any bathroom.

Decorative Mirrors

Make a design statement with uniquely shaped or framed mirrors. From round brass-framed pieces to geometric designs, decorative mirrors add personality and flair to your bathroom.

Installation Considerations

Before finalising your mirror selection:

  • Check your wall type and ensure it can support your chosen mirror
  • Consider the installation method, as some mirrors require professional installation
  • Measure your space carefully, accounting for light fixtures and cabinetry
  • Ensure adequate clearance for cabinet doors or drawers, if applicable
