Bathroom Mirrors Guide: Styles, Features, and How to Choose the Right One
A bathroom mirror is more than a reflective surface—it’s a design statement, a practical tool, and often a high-tech feature of modern living. The right mirror can brighten your bathroom, create a sense of space, and even offer storage or heating solutions.
At Brand New Bathrooms, our range includes everything from LED touch mirrors to mirrored radiators and compact shaving mirrors. This guide will walk you through the different types and styles available, helping you find the perfect fit for your space.
1. LED Touch Mirrors with Demist & Lighting
Why choose them: These mirrors combine modern design with smart functionality. Built-in LEDs provide excellent lighting for grooming, while demist pads keep the surface clear even after a hot shower. Many include extras like Bluetooth speakers and shaver sockets.
Examples from our range:
- Tailored Bathrooms Willow Slimline LED Touch Mirror – includes demist, Bluetooth, shaver socket, and versatile mounting options.
- Tailored Bathrooms Noah LED Edge Touch Mirror – sleek edge lighting and anti-fog technology.
- Tailored Bathrooms Martha LED Touch Mirror – consistent 6500K illumination and touch control.
2. Round LED Touch Mirrors
Why choose them: Round mirrors soften the angular lines of most bathrooms, creating a striking yet elegant focal point. Adjustable LED lighting allows you to set the right mood at any time of day.
Example from our range:
- Tailored Bathrooms Rosie Round LED Touch Mirror – includes demist, touch lighting with colour change, available in matte black or brushed brass finishes.
- Scudo Lunar LED Mirror with Demister Pad - includes demister pad and touch change colour options, available in two sizes.
- Nuie Mensa Inset Frame 800mm Round LED Mirror - available in three finishes, with touch-sensor technology, demister pad and splash-proof design.
3. Mirror Cabinets with Storage
Why choose them: If your bathroom needs both storage and style, mirror cabinets are ideal. They hide away toiletries, while integrated lighting and power sockets provide convenience.
Examples from our range:
- Tailored Bathrooms Monty Round Sliding Door Cabinet – unique circular sliding door with shelves, demist and sensor lighting.
- Hudson Reed Athena Fusion Fitted Wall Hung Double Door Mirror Unit - single door, with shelves. Handleless with unique partial wooden front.
4. Mirrored Radiators
Why choose them: A two-in-one solution, mirrored radiators save wall space and bounce light around the room, while also keeping the bathroom cosy. Perfect for smaller bathrooms or multifunctional spaces.
Examples from our range:
- Carisa Burano Aluminium Mirror Radiator – available in multiple finishes, combining heating efficiency with reflective style.
- Senator Florence Designer Mirror Radiator - available in three finishes, with a central radiator section flanked by 3 columns either side for a truly unique appeal.
5. Face & Shaving Mirrors
Why choose them: Compact and practical, these mirrors are designed for precision tasks such as shaving or makeup application. Many include LED lighting, adjustable angles, and magnification features.
Examples from our range:
- Smedbo Outline Swing Arm Shaving & Make-up Mirror – premium Scandinavian design, adjustable arm, double-sided with magnification.
- Smedbo Outline LED Shaving Mirror – combines magnification with discreet built-in lighting for crystal-clear detail.
6. Classic Shapes & Finishes
Outside of our high-tech range, it’s helpful to know the traditional categories of bathroom mirrors:
- Frameless mirrors – clean and modern, blending into any wall design.
- Framed mirrors – add warmth, colour, or character with wood, metal, or decorative finishes.
- Special shapes – oval, pill-shaped, or arched mirrors soften the room’s look.
- Storage mirrors – medicine cabinet styles or shelving units that maximise space.
Tips for Choosing the Right Bathroom Mirror
- Size matters – match the mirror width to your basin or vanity.
- Lighting is key – choose integrated LEDs if your bathroom lacks natural light.
- Think functionality – do you need storage, demist pads, or sockets?
- Style statement – round or framed mirrors can add visual interest.
- Space saving – opt for mirror cabinets or mirrored radiators in compact bathrooms.
