Discover Our Comprehensive Range of Mirrors
Full Length Mirror Collection
Our full length mirrors serve as the cornerstone of elegant bedroom and dressing area design. These magnificent pieces don't merely provide a complete reflection; they create an illusion of expanded space whilst adding sophisticated elegance to any environment. Whether you prefer the classic appeal of ornately framed designs or the sleek minimalism of unframed options, our collection offers both leaning and wall-mounted variants. Position them strategically in narrow hallways to create the impression of width, or place them opposite windows in bedrooms to maximise natural light distribution throughout the space.
Bathroom Mirror Solutions
Our bathroom mirrors are specifically engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of high-humidity environments. Each piece features advanced moisture-resistant coatings and many incorporate innovative anti-fog technology, ensuring crystal-clear reflections even after the steamiest of showers. Our premium range includes models with integrated storage compartments—perfect for concealing toiletries whilst maintaining clean lines—and LED-illuminated options that provide optimal lighting for daily grooming routines.
Vanity Mirror & Dressing Table Mirror Selection
The vanity mirror and dressing table mirror categories represent the perfect marriage of functionality and style. Our vanity mirrors often feature adjustable positioning mechanisms, allowing you to achieve the ideal angle for makeup application or hair styling. These pieces complement our handcrafted dressing tables beautifully, creating cohesive bedroom suites that speak to discerning taste and practical needs.
Wall Mirror Statements
A thoughtfully chosen wall mirror can serve as the focal point of any room, enhancing visual space whilst brightening even the most subdued interiors. Our collection spans from contemporary geometric designs perfect for modern living rooms to ornate vintage-inspired pieces ideal for traditional settings. Position them above fireplaces for dramatic effect, or use them in hallways to create inviting, light-filled entrance areas.
Round Mirror Elegance
The round mirror has experienced a remarkable resurgence in contemporary interior design, and our collection showcases why this classic shape remains timelessly appealing. These pieces work particularly well in minimalist and modern interiors, where their soft curves provide visual contrast to angular furniture and architectural elements. They're especially effective in bathrooms and entryways, where their welcoming shape creates an immediate sense of warmth and sophistication.
Selecting the Perfect Mirror for Your Space
Choosing the right mirror requires consideration of several key factors: the available space and its proportions, existing lighting conditions, the mirror's intended purpose, and how it will complement your current décor scheme. Consider how different mirror shapes and frame materials will harmonise with your existing furnishings—ornate frames suit traditional interiors, whilst clean-lined designs complement contemporary spaces. Don't overlook practical considerations such as integrated storage solutions or lighting features that can enhance functionality.

FAQs on Mirrors
1. What types of mirrors are best for bathrooms?
Bathroom mirrors designed for high-moisture environments should feature water-resistant backing and corrosion-proof mounting hardware. Anti-fog coatings are particularly valuable, maintaining clear reflections even in steamy conditions. LED-illuminated models provide excellent task lighting for grooming activities, whilst mirrors with integrated storage help maintain clutter-free surfaces. Consider models with IP44 ratings or higher for areas near showers or baths, ensuring long-term durability in demanding bathroom environments.
2. Can I use a full length mirror in small spaces?
Absolutely! Full length mirrors are particularly beneficial in compact spaces, as they create the illusion of expanded room dimensions through light reflection and visual depth. Strategic placement is key—position them opposite windows to maximise natural light distribution, or install them on the back of doors to maximise floor space. In narrow hallways, they can visually widen the passage, whilst in small bedrooms, they add functionality without consuming valuable floor area.
3. What's the difference between a vanity mirror and a dressing table mirror?
Vanity mirrors typically feature integrated lighting systems and adjustable positioning mechanisms, designed specifically for grooming tasks such as makeup application and hair styling. Dressing table mirrors tend to be more decorative elements that complement bedroom furniture, often featuring ornate frames and fixed positioning. Vanity mirrors prioritise functionality with features like magnification options and LED lighting, whilst dressing table mirrors focus on aesthetic appeal and coordinating with existing bedroom décor schemes.
4. How do I hang a heavy wall mirror safely?
Proper installation of wall mirrors requires appropriate fixings matched to both the mirror's weight and your wall type. For solid masonry walls, use heavy-duty wall plugs and screws rated above the mirror's weight. Plasterboard walls may require special cavity fixings or mounting into wall studs for heavier pieces. Always use two mounting points for mirrors over 60cm wide to distribute weight evenly. For particularly large or valuable mirrors, we recommend professional installation to ensure both safety and optimal positioning. Check mounting hardware regularly to ensure continued security.
5. Do round mirrors suit traditional interiors?
Round mirrors possess remarkable versatility and can complement traditional interiors when paired with appropriate frame materials and finishes. Ornate bronze or gilt frames work beautifully in period properties, whilst carved wooden frames suit country cottage aesthetics. The key lies in selecting frames that echo other decorative elements within the room—matching wood tones to existing furniture or coordinating metal finishes with light fixtures and hardware. Round mirrors can soften the angular lines common in traditional furniture arrangements, creating visual balance and adding contemporary sophistication to classic design schemes.
