Mirrored Shaving Cabinets

Start with the width of your vanity and the available wall space above it. A shaving cabinet that is similar in width to the vanity often creates a balanced look, but it does not need to match exactly. A narrower cabinet can leave more space around wall lights or decorative tiles, while a wider cabinet provides more mirror area and storage. Also check the overall cabinet height and ceiling clearance. Browse the Mirrored Shaving Cabinets and compare them with our Bathroom Vanities.

Not necessarily. Matching the cabinet and vanity width can create a clean, symmetrical appearance, but a slightly narrower cabinet can also work well, especially where wall lights, power points or other fittings need clearance. For a larger double vanity, a wider multi-door cabinet may provide better mirror coverage and more storage for two users. For compact bathrooms, keeping the cabinet slightly narrower can make the wall feel less crowded. Choose the proportion according to the whole vanity area rather than following a fixed rule.

A recessed or semi-inset cabinet is installed partly into the wall cavity, reducing how far it projects into the bathroom. This can create a more streamlined appearance, but it requires suitable wall depth and must avoid plumbing, wiring or structural framing. A wall-mounted cabinet is fixed onto the finished wall and is usually simpler to install, although it projects further into the room. Selected models in the Mirrored Shaving Cabinet collection may support different mounting methods, so always check the individual product specifications before installation.

The right depth depends on what you want to store and how much the cabinet can project from the wall. A deeper cabinet may accommodate taller bottles and larger toiletries, but it can feel bulky in a narrow bathroom or above a shallow vanity. Check both the external cabinet depth and the usable internal shelf depth before ordering. If you are planning a recessed installation, also check whether the wall cavity can accommodate the required depth. For tight spaces, compare the shaving cabinet projection with the depth of your Bathroom Vanity.

Make sure each mirrored door can open without hitting a side wall, pendant light, wall light, tapware or another cabinet. This is particularly important with wide multi-door models or cabinets installed close to a corner. Also check whether the door opening will interfere with the user standing at the vanity. Before ordering, measure the available wall space and consider the direction and width of the door swing. If the cabinet is close to another fixture, review the individual product dimensions rather than relying only on the overall width.

Choose a standard mirrored shaving cabinet if your main priorities are mirror space and concealed storage. An LED mirror cabinet can add integrated lighting and, depending on the model, features such as a demister or other electrical functions. LED cabinets require suitable electrical planning, so installation may need to be coordinated with an electrician. If you want extra functionality around the vanity area, compare our LED Mirror Cabinets. If storage is not required, a simple Bathroom Mirror may be enough.

Before ordering, confirm the cabinet width, height and depth, available wall space, vanity width, door opening clearance, mounting method and storage requirements. If you want a recessed installation, check the wall cavity before purchasing. For LED models, confirm the electrical requirements and installation position with your electrician. Also consider the cabinet shape and finish in relation to the vanity, tapware and tiles so the whole vanity area feels coordinated.
