Pill shaped shaving cabinets combine a softly rounded, oval silhouette with concealed storage, giving bathrooms a considered look that a standard rectangular cabinet cannot replicate. This page covers every oval and pill mirror cabinet stocked at The Blue Space, including LED-lit models, single and double door options, and the width sizes most commonly fitted in Australian bathrooms.
What is a pill shaped shaving cabinet?
A pill shaped shaving cabinet is a wall-mounted mirror cabinet with fully rounded top and bottom edges that form an oval or stadium outline. It functions identically to a rectangular shaving cabinet — mirrored exterior, shelved interior, concealed hinge door — but the curved profile reads as a softer, more organic form against a tiled wall. Most models available in Australia range from 450 mm to 900 mm wide.
Do pill shaped shaving cabinets come with built-in LED lighting?
Most pill and oval shaving cabinets now include integrated LED lighting. The light is typically routed around the perimeter of the mirror face or mounted along the top edge, producing even illumination without harsh shadows. LED models draw low wattage, have a rated life of 30,000 to 50,000 hours, and usually offer a colour temperature between 3000 K (warm white) and 6000 K (cool daylight). Some models include a demister pad as a bundled feature, which prevents condensation on the mirror surface after a hot shower.
Brands such as Otti and ADP supply the majority of LED oval shaving cabinets stocked here. The Otti Archie and Newport ranges are frequently searched by name, confirming strong buyer familiarity with those specific products.
What sizes are available?
Pill shaped shaving cabinets in Australia are most commonly available in 450 mm, 600 mm, 750 mm, 900 mm, 1200 mm, and 1500 mm widths. Depth is typically 130 mm to 150 mm, which is shallow enough to sit flush with most wall surfaces without protruding into the vanity space. Height is proportional to the pill silhouette and generally falls between 700 mm and 900 mm for single-door units.
For a 600 mm or 750 mm wide bathroom vanity, a matching 600 mm or 750 mm cabinet sits centred above the basin and avoids visual imbalance. Wider 1200 mm and 1500 mm pill cabinets are typically double-door units suited to dual basins or longer vanity runs.
What finishes and frame colours are available?
The majority of pill shaped shaving cabinets ship in a white or off-white cabinet body with a chrome or brushed stainless frame detail. Matte black framed oval cabinets are available and suit bathrooms fitted with matte black tapware or mirror cabinet surrounds in the same finish. The mirror glass itself is typically 4 mm or 5 mm float glass with a safety-backing film.
Single door or double door: which suits a pill shape?
Single door pill cabinets are the more common format because the oval outline naturally suits a single mirror panel. Double door pill cabinets exist at wider widths (1200 mm plus) and use a centre split in the mirror, which some buyers find less visually cohesive than a single unbroken mirror face. If storage capacity is the priority, a wider single-door pill cabinet with multiple internal shelves is usually the cleaner solution.
Internal shelf count varies by model: standard units carry two or three adjustable shelves, which is sufficient for toiletries, medication, and small appliances. Check the internal depth (typically 110 mm to 130 mm) when planning for taller bottles or an electric toothbrush charger.
How does a pill cabinet differ from a standard shaving cabinet?
The functional difference is negligible — both types offer mirrored storage mounted at eye level. The practical difference is in wall preparation: a pill cabinet requires clearance above and below the cabinet for the curved ends, meaning the wall space above a splashback tile line needs to accommodate the full height of the rounded form. Rectangular cabinets can sit flush with tile edges more easily. For recessed installation, pill shaped cabinets are rarely suitable due to the curved perimeter; surface mount is the standard approach.
If you are comparing options across the broader range, the full shaving cabinet collection includes rectangular, arch top, and pill shaped formats across all widths and finishes.
Which brands stock pill shaped and oval shaving cabinets?
ADP and Otti are the two brands with the widest range of pill and oval shaving cabinets available in Australia. ADP produces oval mirror cabinets in multiple widths with and without LED lighting. Otti's Archie, Newport, and Bondi ranges include LED-integrated oval cabinets and are among the most searched products in this category. Both brands are stocked at The Blue Space with AU-wide shipping and a 60-day return window.
For broader bathroom planning, you may also want to browse bathroom mirrors if a non-storage oval mirror suits your space better, or review the ADP bathroom collection to see the full range of ADP products available.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pill shaped shaving cabinet?
A pill shaped shaving cabinet is a wall-mounted mirror cabinet with fully rounded top and bottom edges, forming an oval or stadium outline. It provides the same concealed storage as a rectangular shaving cabinet but with a softer curved profile. Most Australian models range from 450 mm to 900 mm wide and are surface mounted.
Do pill shaped shaving cabinets come with LED lights?
Most pill and oval shaving cabinets now include integrated LED lighting built into the mirror perimeter or top edge. LED models typically offer 3000 K to 6000 K colour temperature, draw low wattage, and carry a rated life of 30,000 to 50,000 hours. Some also include a demister pad to prevent fogging after showers.
What sizes do oval shaving cabinets come in?
Oval and pill shaped shaving cabinets are available in 450 mm, 600 mm, 750 mm, 900 mm, 1200 mm, and 1500 mm widths. Cabinet depth is usually 130 mm to 150 mm, and height ranges from roughly 700 mm to 900 mm for single-door units. Wider models at 1200 mm and 1500 mm are typically double-door configurations.
Which brands make pill shaped or oval mirror cabinets in Australia?
ADP and Otti are the main brands supplying pill shaped and oval mirror cabinets in Australia. ADP offers oval cabinets with and without LED lighting across multiple widths. Otti's Archie, Newport, and Bondi ranges include LED-integrated oval shaving cabinets and are among the most searched products in this category.
Can a pill shaped shaving cabinet be recessed into the wall?
Pill shaped shaving cabinets are almost always surface mounted rather than recessed. The curved perimeter makes it very difficult to cut a matching recess into a wall cavity, and most manufacturers only specify surface mount installation. Recessed shaving cabinets are generally available in rectangular formats where the straight edges align with standard stud framing.
