Well, hello bathroom mirror - the ultimate in style-meets-function homeware mash-up. A bathroom mirror is more than just a practical element integral to your daily routine, it’s a key design element that can transform the entire look and feel of your space. Whether you're updating a compact en suite or designing a luxurious master bathroom, the right mirror can transform a boring bathroom wall into something truly spa-worthy - trust us on this! At Rockett St George, we believe bathroom mirrors should be as striking as they are practical. Utility is no barrier to beauty!
Bathroom mirrors have the ability to open up a room (important, this, especially if your bathroom is on the smaller side). They introduce and reflect light, bringing balance and proportion to your space. From larger mirrors that add grandeur to smaller versions that are perfect for a petite shower room, the right mirror helps to define your decor (and ensures you face the day looking all kinds of fabulous).
Choosing the right mirror shape helps establish your bathroom’s mood. Round mirrors offer a softer feel and work wonderfully above sinks and vanities, especially in minimalist or Scandi-style spaces. A generously-sized circular mirror can create a strong design statement in a spacious bathroom, adding a feeling of 'flow' - that satisfying feeling you get when a space just works. It's where the magic happens!
An oval-shaped mirror helps to strike a similar balance, and is an elegant shape that's perfect for creating a sense of height and sophistication. Rectangular versions are a timeless option that feel more directional, and can be especially useful if you need a larger piece for a double sink setup or want a clean, modern silhouette.
Whether you choose a large or small bathroom mirror, and the shape you go for, depends on the size of your bathroom and the level of impact you’re after. A large bathroom mirror above the sink can flood the room with reflected light, making everything gorgeously bright, and means you have a big ole' surface area for everyday primping and preening.
But! On the other hand, a smaller mirror can be just as powerful when used thoughtfully. Try one as a focal point or in combination with bold wallpaper or lighting to really make your space sing. Mirrors are incredibly versatile home accessories, and are endlessly adaptable to either a space or different styles of home decor. Don't under-estimate the power of a more compact style to make the perfect style statement when well-positioned.
Let's not forget that an element of vanity comes into play when it comes to mirrors - especially bathroom mirrors. Whether your morning routine involves a full-on glow-up or basic check that there's no toothpaste on your chin (no judgement here), this is one of those occasions where function is as important as form. A perfectly-placed mirror above your vanity unit (making it a vanity mirror, surely, whether that was its intended purpose or not) helps you carry out your routine with clarity and ease. When paired with task lighting or integrated LEDs, the result is a sleek, spa-like experience that’s both stylish and smart.
An LED light mirror is ideal for modern bathrooms, offering even lighting, energy efficiency, and anti-fog technology in many cases. Perfect for applying makeup or shaving, these mirrors are a blend of innovation and elegance - and a fantastic upgrade to your bathroom setup.
Mirrors are an easy way to express your personal style in a bathroom. A frameless mirror lends itself to a minimalist, clean aesthetic - floating effortlessly on the wall without competing for attention. These are perfect in bathrooms with strong architectural lines or where you want a light, airy feel.
Fancy a touch of vintage glamour? An art deco-style mirror adds a gorgeous pop of 1920s flair and elegance with no problem at all. With geometric detailing and bold lines, art deco styles can turn even the humble downstairs loo into a boutique-style retreat. Likewise, decorated and ornate-style mirrors can become centrepieces in their own right, offering texture, shape, or a splash of drama to the space.
The frame can completely change the character of a mirror. Black framed mirrors deliver strong contrast and a crisp, modern finish, and look especially striking against light-coloured tiles or painted walls. It's a bold choice that creates a striking visual anchor in your bathroom while adding depth and dimension. We salute you!
On the other end of the spectrum, a frame-free mirror, or one with subtle edge detailing, provides a softer, more understated look. It’s all about balance: think about the materials and colours in your bathroom and choose a frame (or lack of one) that ties your design story together.
Whether you're choosing a mirror for a vanity unit or to go above a bathroom sink, it’s important to consider the practical parameters of the space, and what it's used for. A bathroom mirror should offer excellent visibility while opening up the room, and either complement or intentionally clash with your tiles and fittings.
At Rockett St George, we curate a selection of beautiful bathroom mirrors that are both practical and full of personality. From statement pieces to subtle styles, our collection is designed with quality, creativity, and everyday usability in mind.
Mirrors are one of the most powerful design tools in your bathroom.

Try this tip for a mirror that's clear as day every time. Apply a little shaving cream or vinegar solution to the mirror and buff it until you have a clear, streak-free finish - it works like magic! Remember that good ventilation helps keep things clear, too.
To skip the streaks, use a mix of water and white vinegar in a spray bottle. Wipe with a microfibre cloth in a zig-zag motion (to avoid swirls and circles) for a crystal-clear finish. Avoid harsh cleaners, which can damage mirror edges over time, and (ironically) leave a residue.
We'd say this depends on the height of the person or people using it most. A good rule of thumb is that your mirror should be centred at eye level for most users (generally around 60 - 65 inches / 158 - 165cms) from the floor. If it's above a vanity or sink, leave 5 - 10 inches / 20-25 cms) of space between the mirror and countertop for a perfectly balanced look.
Definitely! Decorative mirrors add personality and style, even in bathrooms. Just make sure they’re properly sealed or suitable for humid spaces so they don't start to flake or peel. An ornate or vintage-style mirror can turn a plain bathroom into a standout sanctuary. Function meets flair!
