Makeup & magnifying mirrors

Magnifying mirrors for the table or the wall, with light where you need it

IKEA table mirrors and magnifying mirrors are more than just something to look in. Make-up mirrors with an LED light strip for a clearer view, handy wall-mounted cosmetic mirrors with an adjustable arm, so you can see yourself from every angle, or IKEA table mirrors you can convert into elegant wall mirrors in one move – these are just a few of the clever ideas our mirrors can bring to your home. Shaving, applying make-up, styling your hair, getting ready for bed – our range makes all of it a little more relaxed. You'll find stylish designs, high-quality mirror surfaces and plenty of small details that make a real difference.

Key features and benefits of our magnifying mirrors (depending on the model):

• A range of magnification levels: from 3x to 10x, so no detail escapes you.
• Cosmetic mirrors with light: shaving and cosmetic mirrors with built-in LED lighting give you a clear view in the evening too – and some can even be adjusted and dimmed individually.
• Flexible mounting: whether as a table mirror or wall-mounted, you decide where your magnifying mirror goes.
• Compact dimensions: space-saving designs fit even small bathrooms and can be folded away, stored or moved easily.
• Distortion-free mirror surface: high-quality surfaces give a clear image without any distracting distortion around the edges.
• Two-sided models: some magnifying mirrors have two sides with different magnification levels, or one normal side and one magnified side.
• Elegant colour options: discover our stylish cosmetic mirrors in black or stainless steel to suit many interior styles.
• Practical extras: extendable arms and built-in shelves make your daily routine easier.

Need a mirror for styling or applying make-up – or are you after a shaving mirror? Whether next to the main bathroom mirror, on the edge of the basin, on the chest of drawers or on the dressing table: take a closer look at our magnifying mirrors and find one that fits neatly into your daily routine.

How does a magnifying mirror work, with or without light?

A magnifying mirror uses a slightly concave surface to display your reflection like a large magnifying glass. The curved shape of our cosmetic and shaving mirrors focuses incoming light and makes objects appear larger. The stronger the curve, the higher the magnification, from 3x all the way up to 10x for the finest details. A cosmetic mirror with magnification works best paired with good lighting. For the best results, choose a magnifying mirror with built-in light or add your preferred IKEA lighting alongside it.

What table mirrors and cosmetic mirrors with magnification are there?

Classic table mirrors sit on any surface – they're handy and easy to take wherever you need them. Wall models have their advantages too: magnifying mirrors with a swivelling or extendable arm save space and offer plenty of freedom of movement from their fixed position. If you want to make sure nothing gets past you in the mirror, or if you're using it in a room with limited light, we'd suggest a cosmetic mirror with built-in light. On the question of shape and colour: round magnifying mirrors have a modern feel, while angular models tend to have a more traditional look (especially with decorative detailing). Mirrors with a stainless steel stand are timeless, while black frames add elegant accents.

How big should my cosmetic mirror be?

The right size depends on how you'll use it. For everyday make-up, a compact cosmetic mirror of around 15 cm in diameter is enough. If you'd like more of an overview while styling, you can go for a larger model. Think about the space available too: a make-up mirror for the table should stand steadily without wobbling – and ideally not take over the whole surface. Smaller magnifying mirrors are also good for travelling or as a complement to the bathroom wall mirror.

Which magnification level is right for a cosmetic mirror?

Fancy coming to see us in your local IKEA store? That way you can try out different magnification levels and find what works best for your routine. Our recommendation: for everyday make-up, 3x magnification is enough. For detailed work like tweezing your eyebrows, 5x works better. If you want a magnifying mirror for detailed skincare or as a shaving mirror, try a cosmetic mirror with 7x to 10x magnification. One useful thing to know: the higher the magnification, the closer you need to be to the mirror.

How do I incorporate a magnifying mirror into my home in style?

A few ideas: a black cosmetic mirror creates an elegant contrast against a white or light wooden chest of drawers. In the bathroom, an illuminated cosmetic mirror complements your existing wall mirror beautifully – a simple design keeps things looking clean and uncluttered. If you've already chosen a fixed spot for your table mirror, you can add a small vase or a jewellery dish alongside it. Or simply go for a compact, modern version that works anywhere and always looks the part.
