The beveled mirror is an elegant and refined choice for decorating the home, thanks to its special edge work that distinguishes it from classic mirrors. In this article we will look at what beveled mirror means and how is the beveled glass.
What is a beveled mirror?
The bevelled mirror is a type of mirror that has a sloping, polished edge, called a bevel. This border creates a very elegant decorative effect that can reflect light in a special way, adding depth and brilliance to the room.
This technique is called glass beveling, and it involves beveling the edges of the mirror at a slight angle (usually 3 to 5 cm), making it visually more sophisticated and finished.
Here are some characteristics of a beveled mirror:
- Elegant design: The sloping edge catches the light and creates a refined optical effect.
- Customization: beveled mirrors can be made made to measure, adapting perfectly to any environment.
- Versatility: ideal for the bathroom, living room, entrance hall or as a decorative element in the hallway.
Safety: The beveled edge is safer than a sharp edge.
Popular types: vintage and modern beveled mirrors

The vintage beveled mirrors are an ideal choice for those who wish to furnish their homes with a classic and refined touch. They are especially popular in style rooms retro, shabby chic o classic, where the glass beveling enhances the craftsmanship and elegance of the details. These mirrors are often presented with carved wood frames, gilded finishes, antiqued silver or floral decorations, and are placed in entryways, living rooms, bedrooms and even bathrooms with a vintage feel. Beveled workmanship, in this context, recalls the style of large vintage mirrors, giving them a timeless appeal.
Modern beveled mirrors: minimalism and contemporary design
In more modern design environments, the beveled mirrors find space thanks to clean lines and innovative solutions. The most popular models in this style are. unframed, with regular geometric shapes (rectangular, round, oval) and understated finishes. They are often paired with LED backlit panels, ideal for contemporary bathrooms, walk-in closets, entryways or makeup areas. In these contexts, beveling adds a touch of shine and three-dimensionality, without weighing down the overall aesthetic. The mirror thus becomes a functional element but also a true design complement.
