13 Cloakroom Mirror Ideas to Brighten Your Space

Choosing the right cloakroom mirror for a small space can really open up and brighten the room! Make sure you go for a shape and size that works with your layout.

Your cloakroom mirror can be just as important as your toilet or sink when you're renovating. It can be the difference between a dark, cramped space and a brighter room that feels more open, so picking the right one is essential.

There are so many different types of mirrors for cloakrooms, so it’s easy to find the perfect one for you. You can pick from different shapes and sizes (keeping in mind how much wall space you have to work with), and a range of features from LED lighting to Bluetooth. Maximising brightness with an illuminated mirror can work well in a cloakroom, but a standard mirror can add a subtle sense of style without being overpowering - it’s all about what works best for you.

Create a Spacious Feel With These Cloakroom Mirrors

1. Arezzo 500 x 800mm Capsule Mirror

When you think of a cloakroom mirror, your mind probably goes to a standard round or rectangular mirror. However, a capsule shaped mirror like the Arezzo Capsule Mirror adds a little bit of fun and personality to your wall. 

Its curved design is thin enough to fit above a small basin but still practical for getting ready in the morning. Pair the sleek, modern frame with a matt black tap and black accessories like a towel ring and toilet roll holder for an elegant contemporary feel.

2. Chatsworth Corner Mirror Cabinet

Some mirrors for cloakrooms, like the Chatsworth Mirror Cabinet, solve two problems at once by being both a mirror and a storage option. Go for a space-saving corner cabinet design to get that spacious feel, and match it with a corner basin for a co-ordinated look!

3. Croydex Small Round Magnifying Mirror

An even smaller mirror might be what you need in your cloakroom, like the Croydex Magnifying Mirror. It's ideal for shaving and applying makeup, and the practical, wall-mounted arm means that it won’t take up too much space. Even better, the arm allows you to move it around and angle it so that it’s in the perfect position for you.

4. Milan Wall Mounted Cosmetic Mirror

While a round shaving or cosmetic mirror is the classic look, there are also rectangular options like the Milan Cosmetic Mirror that can give your cloakroom a contemporary edge. They’re quite practical, since the angular shape means you have more mirror space!

5. Trafalgar Round Cosmetic Mirror

One of the main things you have to consider with a mirror is where to put it. With a typical wall-mounted mirror, that decision is incredibly important, because it’s pretty difficult to move the mirror around after you’ve installed it.

Getting a freestanding small mirror like the Trafalgar Cosmetic Mirror instantly solves that issue. You can position it wherever you like, such as by your basin or on your window sill, and if you decide you want to move it somewhere else, it’s as easy as picking it up and putting it down in the new spot.

6. hib. Cirque LED Illuminated Magnifying Mirror

Choose an LED shaving mirror for an instant, luxurious upgrade to your morning routine. As well as saving on space, the LED lighting combined with the 5x magnification is perfect for high-precision tasks like shaving, eyebrow plucking and applying intricate make-up.

7. Chatsworth Mirror 600 x 400mm

Sometimes, the classic look is the best option, even in a small space like a cloakroom. A traditional, rectangular mirror in a smaller size, like this Chatsworth Mirror, can fit perfectly above a compact vanity and sink, or even a combination toilet and wash basin.

8. hib. Rondo Circular Mirror

If you need a softer cloakroom mirror idea, then try out a round mirror like this hib. Rondo Mirror. The 500mm diameter means it can fit even in smaller rooms without making the wall feel too crowded, but it still adds a touch of elegance to your space.

In feng shui, round mirrors are generally considered to be better than rectangular mirrors. They have a softer and more welcoming feel, and if your other furniture is quite sharp and angular, a round mirror can create an interesting contrast.

9. Arezzo Hanging 600mm Round Mirror

A unique take on a round mirror for your cloakroom is a hanging mirror with a strap, which adds some effortless charm and character to the look. Position it over your sink and vanity or counter to get a classic style.

To create an elegant overall aesthetic, you can pair a black cloakroom mirror with a matching matt black toilet, vanity, taps and accessories. Even in such a small space, there are plenty of opportunities to create a cohesive, stylish aesthetic with your mirror as the star of the show.

10. Arezzo Ultra Slim LED Mirror

An ultra slim mirror can help with making your cloakroom feel more spacious. The Arezzo Ultra Slim Mirror is just 14mm thick, as well as being quite compact at 500 x 390mm, so it doesn’t feel excessive or out-of-place in snug rooms. Plus, you get the benefits of an LED mirror: a brighter room and the perfect space for getting ready in the morning.

11. Toreno LED Bluetooth Mirror with Touch Sensor

Even in a cloakroom, you can still enjoy the luxury of a Bluetooth mirror. After all, in a busy household, you - or someone else - might end up having to use the cloakroom to get ready. At 500 x 700mm, the Toreno LED Bluetooth Mirror is compact enough to fit into a smaller space while still being packed with luxury features: Bluetooth for music, LED lighting and a demisting pad as well.

12. Arezzo Teardrop LED Mirror

You can still have some fun with a cloakroom mirror in an irregular shape, even with limited wall space. A mirror like this Arezzo Teardrop Mirror can fit in tighter rooms at 550 x 800mm, while adding some charm to your cloakroom's aesthetic. Positioning it above your sink basin means you still get the classic mirror placement, but with a unique modern twist from the teardrop shape, especially with the backlit LED lighting.

13. Roper Rhodes Mirrored Storage Unit

Mirrored storage is one of the smartest ways to save space in your cloakroom while still adding in both a mirror and some cupboard space. If you have room on one of the walls, you can hang a tall, mirrored cabinet like the Roper Rhodes Mirrored Unit separately from your vanity setup. The main benefit of having a tall cloakroom mirror in a small room is that it can give the impression that your ceilings are higher, and that the room is more spacious as a whole.
