1800mm Shaving Cabinets

A shaving cabinet is a recessed or surface-mounted wall cabinet with a mirrored door (or doors) on the front. Unlike a flat bathroom mirror, a shaving cabinet provides internal storage for medicines, razors, skincare products, and other bathroom essentials. Many modern shaving cabinets also feature integrated LED lighting, shaving points, and demister pads, making them a highly functional addition to any bathroom.

A recessed shaving cabinet is installed into a cavity in the wall, sitting flush for a sleek, built-in look. It's ideal for new builds or renovations where the wall structure allows for cutting in. A surface-mounted shaving cabinet sits on the wall face and is easier to install without wall modifications, a practical choice for renovation upgrades without major structural work. Both options are available at The Blue Space from brands like Ingrain and Timberline.

Shaving cabinets typically range from 450mm to 1200mm wide. For a single-basin vanity, a 600–750mm wide cabinet is a popular choice. For double vanities, a wider 900–1200mm cabinet or two side-by-side units works well. Depth matters too, most cabinets are 100–150mm deep, which is enough for most toiletry storage.

Yes, many shaving cabinets available in Australia now include integrated LED lighting around or behind the mirror face. Some models also feature built-in demister pads to keep the mirror clear after a shower, adjustable colour temperature, and USB or GPO shaving points inside the cabinet. Look for these features if you want a fully functional, future-proof bathroom storage solution.

Absolutely. Shaving cabinets with wide shelves and multiple compartments are ideal for families, as they keep medicines, razors, and skincare out of reach of young children when the cabinet is closed. For households with multiple users, a double or triple-door shaving cabinet offers individual storage zones.

1800mm is the largest standard width in the shaving cabinet range, so it suits a wide vanity, a double-basin setup, or a wall where maximum mirror and storage width is the priority over a compact footprint. Where a 900 to 1200mm cabinet suits a single basin or a modest double vanity, 1800mm is generally chosen for larger main bathrooms or ensuites with a long run of wall space above the vanity. For narrower spaces, our 1200mm shaving cabinets or 1500mm shaving cabinets ranges may be a better fit.

Both approaches are used. A single 1800mm-wide unit gives one continuous mirror and storage run with no visible join, which suits a clean, uninterrupted look above a double vanity. Two narrower cabinets installed side by side can work out more practical in some renovations, since each unit is lighter and easier to handle during installation, and it allows each side of the vanity to be opened independently. Which suits a project better generally comes down to wall structure and installation access.

A wider mirrored cabinet is naturally heavier than a compact one, simply due to the extra glass, cabinetry and any built-in lighting across the full width, so wall fixing points and stud or noggin placement matter more at this size than on a small single-door unit. Recessed installation at 1800mm also requires a correspondingly wide wall cavity, so it's worth confirming the wall structure can accommodate the cut-in before committing to a recessed 1800mm unit rather than a surface-mounted one.

Yes, integrated LED lighting, demister pads and shaving points are available across the shaving cabinet range regardless of width, including at 1800mm. At this larger size, lighting is often run across more of the cabinet face to keep illumination even along the full mirror, which is worth checking in the product specification if even lighting across a wide vanity matters to you.

Measure the full available width above the vanity, allowing clearance from adjoining walls, windows, light fittings or taps that could interfere with the cabinet or its doors opening. Also check ceiling height and any sloped sections of wall, since a wide cabinet has less flexibility to shift left or right to avoid an obstruction than a smaller one does. Depth is generally consistent across sizes in the range, but it's still worth confirming before ordering.

At this width, cabinets are commonly configured with two or three doors rather than one, since a single 1800mm door would be impractical to open and close. A multi-door configuration also suits shared bathrooms well, giving each user their own storage zone within the one unit, similar in principle to the family storage benefit described for smaller multi-door cabinets, just scaled up across a wider cabinet face.
