Marquis Mirrors

Marquis mirrors are bathroom mirrors available across a range of shapes and sizes, including rectangular, round and shaped profiles, with select models offering integrated LED lighting. The range covers standard wall-hung mirrors through to backlit options for bathrooms wanting built-in task lighting at the vanity.

Shapes and sizes available

Marquis offers rectangular mirrors in a range of widths to suit single and double vanities, along with round mirrors for powder rooms or as a secondary mirror beside a main vanity mirror. Shaped and framed options are also available for bathrooms wanting something beyond a plain rectangular profile. Measuring the vanity width and the wall space above it before ordering avoids the common mistake of choosing a mirror too wide for the benchtop below it. It's also worth checking the ceiling height and any nearby light fittings, since a tall rectangular mirror can end up sitting too close to a downlight or extraction fan if the wall space isn't measured carefully first.

LED and backlit options

Several Marquis mirrors include integrated LED lighting built into the mirror edge or behind the glass, giving even, shadow-free light across the face for tasks like shaving or applying makeup. Backlit mirrors typically run on a low-voltage transformer, wired in during the electrical rough-in stage of a renovation, so this needs to be planned before walls are closed up rather than added afterward. Some models include a demister pad behind the glass as well, which clears fogging after a hot shower without needing to wipe the mirror down. Warm and cool LED colour temperatures are both available across the backlit range, so it's worth matching the mirror's light output to the rest of the bathroom's lighting rather than choosing on appearance alone.

Framed versus frameless

Frameless mirrors give a cleaner, more minimal look and tend to suit contemporary bathroom fitouts with simple tiling. Framed options add a visual border that can work well in bathrooms with more traditional finishes, such as timber vanities or patterned tiling, where a plain frameless mirror can look slightly unfinished against a busier backdrop. Both styles are available across the Marquis range in comparable sizes. Framed mirrors also tend to be slightly more forgiving of an imperfect wall behind them, since the frame's edge hides small gaps that would be visible on a frameless mirror mounted flush.

Mounting and installation

Standard Marquis mirrors mount with wall clips or a fixing bracket system, straightforward for most bathroom walls without any special preparation. LED and backlit models need power run to the mirror location before installation, so if you're planning a backlit mirror, confirm the wiring point with your electrician early in the renovation rather than after tiling is complete. Demister pads also need a power connection, typically wired to the same circuit as the mirror's LED lighting. For heavier mirrors, particularly larger rectangular sizes, check the wall structure can take the weight and use fixings rated accordingly rather than relying on standard picture hooks or adhesive strips.

Choosing the right size for your vanity

A general guide is to choose a mirror slightly narrower than the vanity benchtop, leaving a small margin of wall visible on either side. For double vanities, either one wide mirror spanning both basins or two matching mirrors positioned above each basin both work, depending on the overall bathroom layout and whether a central splashback feature needs to remain visible. Where a tap or shelf sits between the two basins, two separate mirrors usually give a cleaner result than one continuous mirror interrupted by a fixture below it.

Marquis mirrors ship Australia-wide, and can be returned within 60 days if the size or style doesn't suit your bathroom once you've seen it in place.
