A custom mirror in the right place does more than just reflect you – it changes the space, brings in natural light and creates an illusion of depth that makes any room feel bigger. We’ve been helping homeowners re-design their spaces with custom mirrors for over 50 years at Sheerwater Glass.
First up, answering a few burning questions you may have:
How much does a custom size mirror cost?
That really depends on the size and its use, so a bathroom mirror would need to be thicker and stronger than say, a hallway mirror.
We price each mirror we make to the millimetre, so you only pay for what you need and is as accurate and transparent as possible.
Can a glass shop make a mirror?
Absolutely! Our dedicated glass cutters can also make a mirror for you as well. We can also do this for you while you wait!
Are Mirrors in style?
When are they not! As long as we want to look at ourselves, or open up a space to look bigger, they’ll never go out of style!
Can I cut a mirror to size?
It may look easy but unless you have the correct tools, it will most likely shatter or break while trying. It’s always best to look for a professional glazer, like Sheerwater Glass, which will include the price of cutting with the cost of the mirror as well.
What are Custom Mirrors?
Glass mirrors are custom made, so you can choose the size, shape, material and design that suits you. The benefits of bespoke mirrors:
- A Perfect Fit: All our mirrors are made to measure so they fit any space, no matter how quirky or awkward.
- Unique Style: With so many materials, shapes and designs to choose from, they offer a style that suits you and enhances your home.
- Room Design: Any room can be elevated, add a touch of glamour and sophistication that standard mirrors can’t.
- Extra Functionality: They can be designed to do specific jobs, such as provide extra light, create the illusion of more space or even incorporate storage solutions.
Mirror Types
There are several types of mirrors to choose from, each with their own benefits and style:
- Frameless Mirrors: A popular choice for modern homes, frameless mirrors give a sleek and minimalist look that makes any space feel more open and modern.
- Mirrored Glass: This versatile option can be used to create any bespoke mirror design, from full length mirrors to decorative wall pieces.
- Custom Designs: These can be designed to fit specific themes or styles, such as Art Deco, rustic or modern contemporary, so you can have a mirror that matches your interior design.
- Made to Measure Mirrors: These mirrors are designed to fit specific spaces so they fit perfectly every time. Whether you need a mirror for a small alcove or a large feature wall, made to measure mirrors can be made to your exact requirements.
Choosing Your Mirror
Choosing the right mirror involves considering a few things to make sure it fits your space and meets your needs.
Things to Consider (Size, Shape, Material)
- Size: The size of the mirror will depend on the space it’s going in. Measure the room and the furniture to ensure a perfect fit. Big mirrors make a big statement, small mirrors add subtle elegance.
- Shape: Mirrors come in many shapes, rectangular, square, circular and even custom shapes. Choose a shape that matches the style of the room and the overall design.
- Material: The material of the mirror will affect its look and durability. Glass is always the best for a classic look and will last the test of time.
- Style: Think about the style of the room and the look you want. These mirrors can be designed to fit specific themes or styles, modern and minimalist to traditional and ornate.
- Functionality: Think about what the mirror will be used for. Will it be decorative, provide extra light or create the illusion of more space? Knowing the function will help you choose a mirror that meets your needs and the room’s design.
By considering these things you can choose a bespoke mirror that fits your needs and the room’s design.

Why Custom Mirrors?
Custom mirrors serve many purposes in your home. They can brighten up dark areas, create focal points and make rooms feel bigger. Here are some clever ways to use mirrors in your space:
Creating the Illusion of Space
Horizontal mirrors placed strategically can make a room feel wider. For example a mirror under the kitchen cabinets not only brightens up the dark areas but also creates the illusion of more space. Vertical mirrors can also make the ceiling feel higher, making smaller rooms feel taller and more open.
Working with Your Home’s Style
For homes with period features, bespoke mirrors can be designed to match the existing style. They can be cut to fit within existing mouldings or alcoves to preserve and enhance your home’s style. By placing mirrors within existing mouldings or alcoves you can preserve and enhance your home’s style.
“The team at Sheerwater Glass helped us choose the perfect mirror for our Victorian lounge. They worked with our existing mouldings to create something that looks like it’s always been there. The room is so much brighter now!” – Sarah T., Surrey
