A 40 × 50 cm rectangular LED mirror is a useful starting point for a 500 mm cloakroom basin: centred above it, the 40 cm width leaves 5 cm at either side. A 50 cm-wide oval is another option when the wall is clear. Choose from the usable wall and comfortable reflection height, then match the lighting to the room.
Compact front lighting for everyday use
The 40 × 50 cm frontlit mirror combines three light colours, memory and anti-fog. Its simple outline gives a small basin wall useful reflection without taking up the full width of a 50 cm vanity.
An oval when the wall has more height
The 50 × 70 cm oval dual-light mirror offers front and back lighting with dimming and anti-fog. Its central width matches a 50 cm basin, while the curved outline softens the wall. Leave enough clearance at the widest point beside towel rings, cupboards or a door frame.
A softer wall glow
The 50 × 70 cm oval backlit mirror adds three light colours and anti-fog in a rear-lit design. Choose it when the cloakroom already has useful face lighting and you want the mirror to add atmosphere.
Check the fit from two positions
Tape the complete outline above the basin. First stand where you normally wash your hands and check the reflection height. Then look from the doorway: in a small cloakroom, that wider view helps reveal whether the mirror looks balanced or squeezed.
- Measure the clear wall between obstacles, not only the basin width.
- Leave room above tall taps and splashbacks.
- Keep touch controls comfortably reachable.
- Check the mirror does not crowd a door, shelf or towel ring.
- Plan the mounting and power with the installer.
Prioritise the features the room needs
Front lighting is useful for grooming. A rear glow gives a gentler decorative effect. If the cloakroom has no shower, size and light may matter more than anti-fog. If storage is the real issue, compare mirror cabinets by depth and door clearance before choosing a projecting cabinet above a small basin.
