Shaving Cabinets

A simple mirror reflects, but a shaving cabinet transforms. It solves the biggest bathroom pain point: clutter on your vanity countertop. At RJ Bathroom, our cabinets offer discreet, eye-level storage, allowing you to hide away toothbrushes, creams, and razors behind a sleek mirrored door. The result? Your bathroom instantly feels cleaner, larger, and calmer—a genuinely serene space that enhances your morning and evening self-care rituals.

You can also choose a toilet mirror that doubles-up as a storage solution, which are an excellent option for storing all your personal grooming products and other bathroom items. This helps to keep your bathroom neat and tidy, which can make the room appear larger.

Mirrors are the oldest trick in the interior design book for expanding space, and a shaving cabinet does double duty.

• Reflecting Light: By capturing natural light from a window or artificial light from your ceiling, the mirror bounces it around the room, making the space feel brighter and airier.
• The "Depth" Illusion: A large mirror creates a sense of visual depth, tricking the eye into thinking the wall is further away than it actually is.
• Design Tip: For small rooms, choose a Frameless Shaving Cabinet. Without a heavy timber or black frame bordering the glass, the mirror blends seamlessly into the wall, creating a "floating" look that feels less intrusive.

Standard external depth for a shaving cabinet is 150mm. In a small bathroom, we generally advise against going deeper than this.

• The "Head Butt" Factor: If the cabinet is too deep (e.g., custom 200mm+) and your vanity is shallow (e.g., 400mm deep), the cabinet will overhang too much. You risk hitting your forehead on the mirror when leaning in to wash your face.
• Standard is Safe: Stick to the 150mm standard depth—it is perfectly engineered to hold toiletries without intruding on your personal space.

The LED mirror shaving cabinet uses wall-mounted storage, frees up bench and floor space, and visually opens the room thanks to its mirror surface. You get a sleek, clutter-free zone that makes small bathrooms feel larger. Add our installation service for a seamless, professional finish.

You generally have two design strategies here:

1. The "Perfect Match": Buy your vanity and shaving cabinet from the same brand/collection (e.g., both "Rift Oak" or "Matte White"). Wood grain finishes can vary wildly between brands, so mixing brands is risky.
2. The "Safe Bet" (All Mirror): If you can't find a matching wood finish, choose a frameless mirror cabinet. Because the front and sides are mirrored (or the sides are plain white/grey), it reflects the room's tiles and matches any vanity perfectly without clashing.

While regular mirrors are often used in bathrooms, it is better to buy a product that is specifically designed for the task. Bathroom mirrors have to withstand an environment where there is a lot of steam and condensation every day, all year round. For this reason, many households opt for a demister mirror in the bathroom which clears quickly without leaving behind streaks, enabling you to see your reflection as soon as you get out of the shower.

Bathroom mirrors also require the right cleaning products so they don’t corrode in the damp environment. We offer a range of mirror cleaners that are designed to get your bathroom mirror sparkling whilst still treating the mirror’s surface gently, ensuring your mirror lasts as long as possible.

Absolutely. An LED shaving cabinet with demister is a game-changer for a seamless routine. The integrated LED lighting provides brilliant, shadow-free illumination, which is essential for perfect makeup application or a precise shave—no more relying on harsh overhead lights. Furthermore, the built-in demister pad ensures your mirror is fog-free after a hot shower, meaning zero waiting time. It’s an investment in efficiency and a truly elevated grooming experience.

There are 4 steps help you with shaving cabinet installation.

1. To install your new shaving cabinet, mark the outline of the cabinet on the wall with a spirit level

2. Use a stud finder to understand where your wall studs are within the outline of your cabinet and mark the stud position onto the back of your shaving cabinet

3. Drill holes in the cabinet that are in line with your stud marks and then get someone to hold the cabinet in position while driving your screws through the pilot holes and into the stud

4. Finish by screwing the cabinet into the wall stud and installing the cabinet doors and shelves

Yes, in almost all cases.

• Hardwired Connection: Most modern LED shaving cabinets (and those with built-in demisters) do not come with a standard power plug. They are designed to be "hardwired" directly into the wall power supply for a clean look with no visible cords.
• Australian Law: In Australia, any fixed wiring work must be performed by a licensed electrician.
• Planning Tip: If you want an LED cabinet, tell your sparky early in the renovation so they can run the necessary cables to the exact spot behind where the mirror will hang.
