mirror cabinet
A mirror cabinet is a clever combination of storage space and functionality – and at the same time an aesthetic design element. Whether in the bathroom, bedroom, hallway or dressing room: it not only keeps things tidy, but also brings brightness and visual space to the room thanks to its mirrored surface. In the custom-made version, the mirror cabinet is tailored precisely to your room layout – practical, stylish and durable.
What is a mirror cabinet?
A mirror cabinet is a piece of furniture that combines cabinet elements with one or more mirrored fronts. Storage space is concealed behind the mirrors, while the mirror surface itself can be used for functional or decorative purposes.
The big advantage: you kill two birds with one stone – storage space and a mirror, without needing any extra space. A mirror cabinet is therefore a real space-saving miracle, especially in small rooms.
Why is a custom-made mirror cabinet a good idea?
Standard solutions are often only available in a few sizes and do not fit into every room situation. A custom-made mirror cabinet, on the other hand, offers numerous advantages:
Customised dimensions to fit alcoves, wall surfaces or sloping ceilings.
A wide range of design options for mirror types and fronts.
Combination of storage space and mirror – without additional furniture.
Harmonious integration into existing furniture concepts.
Optimal use of space, even with difficult floor plans.
This makes the mirror cabinet not only functional, but also a real visual highlight.
Where is a mirror cabinet used?
A mirror cabinet is versatile and can be used in a variety of rooms:
In the bathroom
The classic: above the washbasin, a mirror cabinet provides space for cosmetics, toiletries or medicines. Integrated lighting makes it a central feature in the bathroom.
In the bedroom
As part of a wardrobe or as a stand-alone piece of furniture, a mirror cabinet is ideal for getting dressed. It saves space because no additional standing mirror is required.
In the dressing room
Mirror cabinets can be integrated particularly elegantly into wall units here, while also providing clarity and a sense of spaciousness.
In the hallway
A mirror cabinet provides storage space for jackets, shoes or bags – and at the same time allows you to take one last look in the mirror before you leave the house.
What features are useful in a mirror cabinet?
A custom-made mirror cabinet can be designed in many different ways – both inside and out. Typical options include:
- Adjustable shelves for cosmetics, accessories or clothing.
- Clothes rails in larger mirror cabinets, for example in the hallway or bedroom.
- Drawers for small items such as jewellery, belts or toiletries.
- Integrated lighting, e.g. LED light strips in the mirror or in the interior.
- Sockets or charging stations for razors, toothbrushes or smartphones (especially in the bathroom).
- Sliding doors with mirrors, if there is no space for hinged doors.
- Full-length mirror as front surface for wardrobes.
With customisation, you decide which functions your mirror cabinet should have.
Mirror cabinet vs. classic cabinet – what is the difference?
The difference lies in the combination:
- Classic wardrobe: storage space without additional mirrors.
- Mirror cabinet: Same storage space, but with added value – the mirror front replaces an additional piece of furniture and visually expands the room.
This difference is particularly significant in smaller flats or narrow corridors.
What types of mirrors are there?
A custom-made mirror cabinet allows you to choose from a range of different mirror options:
- Clear glass mirrors – classic and versatile.
- Tinted mirrors – in grey, bronze or black for a modern look.
- Full-length mirror – ideal for bedrooms or dressing rooms.
- Partially mirrored fronts – combination of mirror and wood/lacquer front.
- Illuminated mirrors – with integrated light strips for bathrooms or dressing rooms.
This allows you to determine the effect your wardrobe will have on the room.
What styles are possible?
A mirror cabinet can be adapted to almost any interior design style:
- Timeless and classic: white fronts with mirrored surfaces.
- Modern and minimalist: handle-free design with flush-mounted mirrors.
- Elegant: glass and mirror elements combined with lacquered fronts.
- Of course: wood look combined with mirrors for cosy warmth.
Customised solutions allow the mirror front to be used specifically as a design element.
