Oval Bathroom Mirrors

Are oval bathroom mirrors still in style?

Very much so. Oval bathroom mirrors have grown consistently in popularity over the last few years and show no signs of slowing down. The shape sits somewhere between the softness of a round mirror and the formality of a rectangular one, making it one of the most versatile options, working equally well in a modern, minimal bathroom and in a more traditional or characterful one.

What's the difference between a round and an oval bathroom mirror?

The key difference is the silhouette. A round mirror is compact and self-contained, making it a natural focal point above a single basin, whereas an oval bathroom mirror is elongated, reflecting more of your face and upper body while adding a sense of height to the room. If your bathroom has a taller wall or a narrower basin, an oval shape often works better in terms of proportion.

Do oval bathroom mirrors come with LED lighting?

Every oval bathroom mirror in this range does. All designs are front-lit, with the LED strip running across the glass to create a bright, even reflection, ideal for grooming and makeup. A demister pad and touch sensor come as standard too, keeping the glass clear after a shower and putting brightness control at your fingertips.

Can I use an oval mirror in a small bathroom?

Absolutely. An oval bathroom mirror is actually one of the better choices for a smaller space. The vertical orientation draws the eye upward, which makes the room feel taller and more open without taking up any extra wall space. Paired with a wall-hung vanity unit to keep the floor clear, an oval mirror can make a small bathroom feel significantly more spacious than it is.

What size oval bathroom mirror do I need?

Every oval LED bathroom mirror in this range measures 500 x 800mm, a versatile size that works well above most single basins. It's tall enough to give you a generous reflection without dominating the wall, and narrow enough to sit comfortably above a standard basin unit. As a general guide, your mirror should be no wider than the basin or vanity unit beneath it, so it's always worth measuring before you buy.

What finishes are available in oval bathroom mirrors?

Chrome, matt black, and brushed brass are all available, giving you a finish to suit most bathroom schemes. Chrome is clean and works in almost any space; matt black makes more of a statement and pairs well with darker tiles and warm wood tones; and brushed brass adds warmth that sits beautifully alongside natural materials like stone and timber.

How do I choose between a framed and frameless oval bathroom mirror?

Both options are available in this range. A framed oval mirror gives the mirror more presence on the wall, with the frame finish adding a layer of character to the room. A frameless oval mirror keeps the focus entirely on the glass, sitting flush to the wall for a cleaner, more understated look.

Our framed mirrors and frameless mirrors pages are worth exploring if you'd like to compare styles more broadly.

 Do I need an electrician to fit an oval LED bathroom mirror?

Hanging the mirror is a straightforward DIY job, and every mirror arrives with full instructions and fixings. The LED does require a mains power connection, and unless you're comfortable with electrical work, it's worth having a qualified electrician handle that part. It's a quick job and well worth doing properly.
