In bathroom design, it’s often the mirror that’s overlooked — yet it’s one of the most-used, most-visible elements in the entire room. More than just a reflective surface, a mirror cabinet can dramatically influence the feel, function, and flow of your space.
At The Custom Creative, we believe in elevating everyday essentials — and when it comes to custom mirror cabinets, the difference is in the detail. Here's why a joinery-made mirror is a small but powerful upgrade that can completely transform your bathroom.
- Form Meets Function — Seamlessly
Off-the-shelf mirrors may offer a simple reflection, but custom mirror cabinets offer something more: storage without bulk.
Our joinery-led cabinets are designed with flush-fitting doors, clean edges, and internal adjustable shelving that maximises space without intruding visually. Whether recessed into the wall or designed to float above a vanity, each piece blends practicality with a refined aesthetic.
- Tailored to Your Space (and Style)
No two bathrooms are exactly alike — and neither are your storage needs.
A joinery-led mirror allows for:
- Custom widths and heights
- Flexible shelving configurations
- Hidden fingerpull overhand, so no need to touch the glass
- Designs that perfectly align with your vanity or tapware layout
Whether you’re after a sleek, minimalist look or a statement piece with veneer detailing, your mirror cabinet is crafted to suit your specific vision and proportions.
- Built-In Storage Without the Bulk
One of the key advantages of a mirror cabinet over a flat mirror is hidden storage — but poorly made cabinets often stick out or feel clunky. That’s where custom joinery makes all the difference.
We ensure a low-profile, architectural feel that looks intentional — not tacked on. No sharp protrusions. No off-centre mirrors. Just well-considered, handmade cabinetry that quietly enhances your space.
- Made Locally with Premium Materials
Our mirror cabinets are made right here in Nelson, New Zealand, using high-quality materials and hardware. Unlike mass-produced options made from low-cost MDF or plastic laminate, we use:
- Moisture-resistant materials suited to bathroom environments
- Premium hinges and soft-close mechanisms
- Finishes that match or complement your vanity
You’re investing in a piece designed to last — both in durability and timeless style.
- Perfect Pairing with Your Vanity
One of the biggest aesthetic wins of a custom mirror cabinet? Alignment.
When your mirror and vanity are designed together, they complement each other in size, finish, and layout. You avoid awkward overhangs, mismatched proportions, or clashing materials. The result is a cohesive, professionally-designed look that elevates the entire bathroom.
A mirror may seem simple — but with the right design, it can bring balance, storage, and a surprising amount of polish to your space.
At The Custom Creative, we craft bespoke mirror cabinets that are functional, timeless, and made for the way you live. Whether you’re planning a full renovation or simply upgrading your vanity and mirror combo, we’ll help design a solution that fits beautifully.
