Custom-Shaped Mirror Ellenbrook
Custom-Shaped Mirror Installation, Ellenbrook
Most mirrors are rectangles because glass sheets are manufactured in rectangles. It is the efficient default, not a design decision. When the brief for this Ellenbrook installation called for something different, we fabricated two silver-backed mirror panels to a custom curved profile.
Shapes drawn from the design rather than off the shelf. Installed either side of a floating vanity against a dark timber slat wall, the two pieces form a continuous composition that reads as part of the room, not an accessory placed inside it.

Custom-Shaped Mirror Installation
A standard mirror installed on a feature wall is functional. It reflects the room and does its job. A mirror cut to a profile that reacts to the design around it does something different, it becomes a statement, part of the composition rather than an addition to it.
In this installation, each panel carries a curved edge on the right and a straight edge on the left. Separated by the floating vanity, the two pieces work together to create a flowing S-curve profile across the full height of the wall. That relationship between the two panels. and between the mirrors and the architecture they sit within, is what separates a custom mirror from a standard one.
The glass itself is the same product. The fabrication is what changes everything. For homeowners and designers considering a feature mirror, the question worth asking is not whether a custom shape is achievable, the question is what shape the room is actually asking for.
How Custom-Shaped Mirrors are Made
Silver-backed mirror glass starts as float glass, the same base product used in standard clear glass. A silver coating is applied to the back surface, creating the reflective layer. Two layers of protective paint are applied over the silver to seal the coating against moisture and oxidation.
What makes a custom-shaped mirror different is the fabrication stage. Rather than cutting the glass to a standard rectangular format, our waterjet machine cuts the profile to a template drawn from the design brief. The waterjet process cuts curves, asymmetric profiles, and complex shapes without introducing stress into the surrounding glass, to an accuracy of less than a millimetre.
Custom-Shaped Mirrors: What We Supply and Install
We are one of Perth’s most experienced installers of custom mirrors, working across residential, commercial, and hospitality applications. Custom profiles are available in any shape that can be drawn, from simple arched tops and curved edges through to complex multi-panel compositions like this one.
For installations where the mirror is a feature element rather than a utility fitting, the profile, edge finish, and fixing method are all part of the design conversation. These decisions are made at the brief stage, not afterthoughts.
