Bathroom Mirror Shapes Compared: Round, Arch, Oval and Rectangle
The right bathroom mirror shape depends on the wall above your vanity and the lines already in the room. Rectangles give the most reflection for their width, round mirrors soften straight tiles, and arch or oval mirrors add height on a narrow wall. Use the table to narrow the shape, then open that shape's range.
| Shape | Best for | Trade-off | Pairs well with | Browse |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rectangle | Wide and double vanities; the most reflection per wall width | Looks plain on its own unless you add a frame or LED light | Square basins and straight-edged vanities | Shown on this page |
| Round | Single vanities, ensuites and powder rooms; leaves room for wall taps or a towel ring beside it | Less reflection than a rectangle of the same width | Round or oval basins | Round bathroom mirrors |
| Arch | Small bathrooms that need height; half-moon styles for wider vanities | The curved top trims the reflection at the upper corners | Straight vanities that need a softer line above | Arch bathroom mirrors |
| Oval and pill | Narrow walls between wall taps, niches or wall lights; pairs over a double vanity | A narrow width suits one person at a time | Pill or oval basins | Oval and pill mirrors |
A double vanity can take one wide rectangle or two matching pill mirrors, one centred over each basin.
What Size Bathroom Mirror Suits Your Vanity
A bathroom mirror usually looks best when it is no wider than the vanity below it, centred over the basin, with some wall showing on each side. Match the mirror width to the vanity first, then choose a height that suits the wall, your tiles and anything mounted above the basin.
| Vanity width | Mirror options in this range | Shop the vanity |
|---|---|---|
| 600mm | 500–600mm round, 450×900mm or 500×900mm pill, 600×750mm rectangle | 600mm vanities |
| 900mm | 800mm round, 900×750mm rectangle, 600×900mm arch | 900mm vanities |
| 1200mm | 1200×750mm or 1200×900mm rectangle, 1200×800mm half-moon arch, or two pill mirrors | 1200mm vanities |
| 1500mm | 1500×900mm rectangle, 1500×1000mm half-moon arch, or two mirrors | 1500mm vanities |
| 1800mm | A 1500mm-wide rectangle, or two mirrors, one over each basin | 1800mm vanities |
Before you order a bathroom mirror, run through these checks:
- Measure the vanity width and the clear wall height above the vanity top.
- Note any window, wall taps, light switch or power point above the vanity.
- Check whether you want portrait or landscape. Several models hang either way, and the listing says so.
- Mark the mirror outline on the wall with painter's tape to check the balance.
Framed, Frameless or LED Bathroom Mirrors
Framed, frameless and LED bathroom mirrors differ in how the edge looks and whether the mirror lights the room.
A framed bathroom mirror is the easiest way to repeat your tapware finish at eye level, for example with black tapware or brushed gold tapware. A frameless mirror glues flat to the wall for a floating look. An LED mirror lights the vanity without extra wall lights.
Which Bathroom Mirror Fits Your Room?
- If your tapware is matte black, brushed gold, brushed nickel or gun metal, choose a framed mirror in the same finish.
- If you want the lowest cost and a clean, flush look, choose a frameless pencil or bevel edge mirror.
- If the mirror fogs after every shower, choose an LED mirror with a demister pad.
- If there are no wall lights near the vanity, choose a backlit or front-lit LED mirror.
- If you need storage as well as a mirror, choose one of our shaving cabinets instead.
Pencil Edge, Bevel Edge and Copper-Free Bathroom Mirrors
Pencil edge and bevel edge are the two finishes on our frameless bathroom mirrors. A pencil edge is a slim, smooth finish for a simple line. A bevelled edge has an angled border that catches the light and frames the glass without a frame.
- Copper-free glass: many of our mirrors use copper-free glass with a safety backing. It helps resist the black edge corrosion that standard mirrors can develop in a humid bathroom.
- Glass and corners: in the models we checked, the glass is 5mm thick, and the Rectta and pencil edge rectangles have R20 radius corners.
- Sizes to compare: the 1200 x 900mm pencil edge mirror is sized to sit over a 1200mm vanity.
Each listing states its edge, glass and warranty, so check the product page before you order.
LED Bathroom Mirrors: Front-Lit, Backlit and Anti-Fog
An LED bathroom mirror is either backlit or front-lit. A backlit mirror throws a soft halo of light onto the wall behind the glass. A front-lit mirror has a band of light just inside the frame that lights your face from the front.
- Controls: touch control on the Lukka Orbis, Arco and Rectta LED mirrors; a touchless wave sensor on Mercio Luna; a motion sensor on Venus and Maia, and the Venus turns its light on as you walk in and off about 60 seconds after you leave.
- Light colour: three settings, from warm (about 3000K) to cool white (4000K) and daylight (6000K).
- Anti-fog: most LED models here have a demister or heater pad behind the glass; the backlit Lukka Orbis, Arco, Rectta and Ellips models use anti-fog coated glass instead.
- Power: the Lukka Orbis and Arco backlit models have a 1m lead that can be hardwired or plugged in; Mercio Luna comes with a 1.2m cable for hardwiring.

Installing a Bathroom Mirror, Delivery and Pickup
How you install a bathroom mirror depends on its type. Frameless pencil and bevel edge mirrors glue straight to the wall with neutral cure silicone, not acid cure. Framed mirrors and the LED mirrors we checked hang on the wall brackets supplied. Any hardwired LED mirror needs a licensed electrician.
- Installation in Sydney: we offer installation for 600–900mm mirrors and 1200–1500mm mirrors.
- Pickup: pick-up is free and needs no booking from our Sydney warehouses. Poseidon mirrors, about a fifth of this range, can also be picked up free from Dandenong South (VIC).
- Viewing: to see a mirror before you buy, call 0480 746 325 to view it in Sydney by appointment.
- Delivery: free metro delivery on orders over $2,000 in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra, $2,500 in Brisbane and Adelaide, and $3,200 in Perth.
