KEUCO has a mirror for every eventuality, beautifully finished and cleverly designed, to suit any bathroom. Modular wall-mounted mirror cabinets with built-in cosmetic mirrors inside, illuminated mirror cabinets, fold-away wall-mounted illuminated cosmetic mirrors and statement shapes.

Since seeing the first reflection of themselves in still water, people have been making mirrors for thousands of years. In 6000 BC, they were made from obsidian, a naturally occurring volcanic glass. By 2900 BC, ancient Egyptians were making them from polished bronze. Mirrors have been used in spiritual and ceremonial contexts, warding off evil spirits or communing with the gods.

It was an object of status until the Industrial Revolution, when mirrors became affordable and available. Mirrors are now quite literally part of the furniture; they are used in interior design to expand spaces and enhance lighting, as well as for personal grooming, especially in the bathroom. KEUCO has one to suit all needs.

Elegantly minimalist, the rectangular illuminated Royal Lumos Mirror is the brightest in KEUCO’s range with an all-round light rim. The three-sided LED lighting of the translucent frame gives the mirror a floating appearance.

The Royal Modular Mirror Cabinet (pictured left) is available in a variety of dimensions, featuring intelligent, highly functional lighting and adaptable storage space, making it a universal mirror cabinet suitable for all bathrooms. Highlights include the integral and movable cosmetic mirror, magnetic strip to hold small beauty accessories and concealed USB and power functions. The horizontal LED lights at the top and bottom not only illuminate the face but also highlight the wash area with adjustable light, ranging from bright daylight white to dimmed warm white for a relaxing effect.

The new Round Light Mirror (pictured top) is a visual highlight, designed to complement the new Edition 11 Art collection washbasins and furniture. In addition to its attractive appearance, the light mirror features sophisticated technology and is highly user-friendly. For optimal light intensity, light colour can be adjusted via the sensor switch from 2700 to 6500 Kelvin. The mirror heating is activated automatically when the light is switched on, ensuring a clear view even in a steamy bathroom. Available in two sizes – 800 mm and 1000 mm diameter – the mirror makes a bold focal point and provides an excellent reflection. The light mirror has a double mirror edge, creating an impressive lighting effect. Smooth, evenly distributed luminescence at the edges provides elegant, indirect lighting, and the double rim gives the mirror a modern, depth-enhancing effect, for a stylish accent in the bathroom.

Lighting can be adjusted from warm white 2700 Kelvin to daylight white 6500 Kelvin using the sensor switch. The integrated mirror heating, which is automatically activated in conjunction with the lights, provides an added level of comfort. Even after a hot shower, the mirror remains clear and fog-free. The heating function is designed to run for 45 minutes and then automatically switch off. Thanks to its IP44 certification, the light mirror is ideal for use in humid environments, meeting the safety and technological demands of modern bathroom design.

If additional storage space is required, the Somaris Mirror Cabinet from KEUCO is a suitable option. Its unobtrusive, concise design is highly versatile, offering options that enable the client to create their look with external configurations, including symmetrical or asymmetrical doors, and four different variants for side panels, technical configurations, and an interior with more attractive features. Characterised by its minimalist and user-friendly design, and with individually selectable back and side panels, it perfectly matches the colours of the EDITION 11 ART bathroom furniture, allowing for colour coordination down to the last detail. (If personalisation is requested, the side panels are also available in all RAL Classic colours.)

All the controls are conveniently arranged on the underside of the aluminium mirror cabinet, allowing it to be operated whether open or closed. Icons on the mirror surface indicate the hidden corresponding buttons, and, on either side, the LED light ensures a perfect illumination; this can also be dimmed to any level. There is an optional mirror heater which guarantees a clear reflection after showering – this is especially useful in small or windowless bathrooms, and it automatically switches off after 20 minutes.

Bathroom and kitchen brand Abode has introduced a new mirror collection designed to bring the calming principles of Hygge living into UK bathrooms. Reflecting the ongoing shift toward wellness-led interiors, the range focuses on soft lighting, minimalism and ease of use – elements that help transform the bathroom into a more relaxing, considered space.

“As the UK beauty and self-care industry continues to experience growth, today’s must-have bathroom products are being guided by outside influences such as lifestyle and user needs. With this in mind, ambience mirrors have become a bathroom essential in 2025, with new importance on accessories that create bathroom environments, which are both calm and rejuvenating” says David Boddy, product manager at Abode.

The collection introduces two core designs. Mayar, which features a bold, framed finish in brushed brass or matt black, and Aruna, a frameless, minimalist option. Between them, there are 12 variations available, including both non-illuminated and LED-backlit models to suit different bathroom styles and budgets.

DIMMABLE & CCT CHANGEABLE LIGHT

For added convenience, all LED mirrors include touch-activated controls. This allows users to easily adjust brightness and lighting tone without switches. There are three colour temperature settings: Natural (4000K), Warm (3000K), and Candlelight (2000K), offering flexibility for any mood or time of day.

IP44 RATED

A built-in demisting function ensures the mirror remains clear after showers, while an auto shut-off feature helps conserve energy when not in use. Each model carries an IP44 rating, making it safe for use in wet environments such as bathrooms, ensuites, or shower rooms.

The new mirrors are also fully compatible with Abode’s Focus 60 bathroom concept, enabling seamless design coordination alongside Cava or IOX basins, Tableau shelves, Uno accessories, and matching brassware.

Mayar is priced from £169, with LED versions from £359. Aruna starts at £119, with LED models from £299.

The collection is available exclusively via PJH. Retailers can order through the PJH Partners Portal at www.partners.pjh.uk, or contact PJH on 0800 877 88 99 or sales@pjh.uk.

Bathroom product supplier and innovator HiB, has released its bathroom trends for 2024. In an ever-evolving world of design, HiB remains at the forefront by introducing four unique trends, each designed to elevate and bring fresh inspiration to the bathroom.

The first trend, ‘Exhale’, takes inspiration from nature-inspired interior design trends. Departing from last year’s ‘Petrichor,’ Exhale embraces minimalism, mid-century style, and neutral tones without overusing nature in the space. Characterised by stone finishes, rounded shapes and tactile textures, this trend draws inspiration from the laid-back ‘California Casual’ aesthetic, favouring refined simplicity over rustic elements.

Also new this year is the ‘Euphoria’ trend, which blends nostalgia with contemporary design. Arches and curves lead the space, offering a sense of fluidity and movement. Geometric and abstract patterns, along with fluted textures add a contemporary touch, while a muted yet colourful palette connects the design to the organic world, bringing a breath of fresh air to any bathroom.

For those who like edgier styles, the ‘Elements’ trend exhibits a stormy aesthetic, using darker neutrals and cool blues to create a moody yet inviting atmosphere. Drawing inspiration from Wabi Sabi, Minimalism and Brutalism, Elements seamlessly blends nature’s imperfections with refined engineering. The raw and textured feel is achieved through the use of iron and gunmetal brassware, highlighting the beauty in flaws of organic materials.

Last but certainly not least, the ‘Enamour’ trend embraces vintage glamour and art deco, offering an air of quiet, timeless elegance. By blending old and new elements through upcycling, Enamour creates a classic contemporary aesthetic. This trend embodies the philosophy of ‘less is more’, promoting a clutter-free environment and contributing to what

Jasmine Rowe, HiB product designer, said: “The 2024 bathroom trends from HiB showcase our commitment to pushing the boundaries of design while maintaining a strong connection with nature and elegance. These trends are not just about aesthetics, they are about creating immersive, personalised and practical bathroom experiences. We’re confident that we will see these trends used strongly in designs and be a key steer in bathroom styles throughout 2024. “

HiB’s wide range of bathroom mirrors, cabinets, furniture and accessories are perfectly suited to bring these trends to life, offering a design that complements each theme. To explore the full Trends Guide and to gain even more bathroom interior design inspiration, visit https://bit.ly/3vtzk3f

Leading bathroom brand HiB has added a wide range of stunning new products to its existing lineup. A new Veles modular furniture range, stunning basins, the latest elegant mirrors and cabinets, and quality brassware have joined its portfolio.

The cornerstone of HiB’s latest launch is the Veles modular furniture range, which it says has been meticulously crafted to offer ample storage, useful sizing and beautiful finishes.

For small spaces, the Veles Compact range offers stunning quality and finish in a reduced depth, while the Veles Standard range offers more storage and larger dimensions ideal for family bathrooms. This new range pairs perfectly with the new Terra basins and countertops.

Following the success of the popular Bellus mirror range, HiB has expanded size options to include a new 100cm choice. The new size means that Bellus’ elaborately patterned illumination and striking design are enhanced further.

The integrated colour temperature-changing technology allows the user to switch from cool white to warm white to deliver either a relaxing atmosphere or a practical cool light option. Hidden beneath the mirror’s surface is a heated pad, which reduces condensation on the mirror’s surface. The chamfered diffuser on the back of the mirror creates a delicate, ambient glow across the wall, offering a sophisticated finishing touch.

Now available in three sizes, 60cm, 80cm, and 100cm, the Bellus mirror can be used as a beautiful feature across the home, and the touch-free operation ensures it remains smudge and fingerprint free.

Ash Chilver, HiB sales director, said: “Our customers have loved Bellus because it offers a unique style unlike anything else on the market. It is a real showstopper and the larger 100cm size makes even more of an impact in the space.

“Bellus has been developed with impactful style in mind, taking that timeless, ornate look and giving it a contemporary edge.”

HiB Sales Director Ash Chilver said: “Trim offers fantastic flexibility and beautiful styling that so many customers are looking for, for their homes. It was important to us that when designing the Trim mirror, it had a high level of finish but also offered simplicity and versatility. Because it is not illuminated, Trim is ideal for pairing with additional lighting such as wall or pendant lights, to create a dramatic focal point.

“The brushed brass and matt black finishes have both been popular with customers so to be able to offer a non-illuminated mirror that seamlessly matches our accessories ranges is brilliant.”

The Trim Curve and Trim Round ranges are available in 40cm and 50cm options.
