Since the available roof slope in our upstairs bathroom unfortunately does not reach the planned height where we want to install a wide mirror cabinet (ideally exactly 180cm (71 inches) wide), we are searching for the right solution.
The usual mirror cabinets are mostly at least 65cm (26 inches) high, which would look visually too close to the faucet below.
So far, I find plenty of mirrors (and mirror cabinets) “for sloped ceilings,” but only when the slope is on the left or right side. In our case, the slope is directly in front of us, and the cabinet needs to be installed exactly there—basically built into the slope with the back panel facing it.
The uninspired, indifferent drywall installer made things worse after the general contractor forgot that various pipes still need to go up to the roof (always those annoying pipes). Everything was planned in detail and described, but it turned out differently; originally planned were two single cabinets exactly between two visible rafters, but now that space is closed with drywall, and pipes are running behind it.
Usually, we manage to find a nice solution from such awkward situations, but here we are stuck because there are hardly any mirror cabinets around 50cm (20 inches) high.
I would personally just hang one wide mirror on the wall and tilt it slightly, and that would be it... but, luckily, I don’t live alone here.
Unfortunately, I don’t know a suitable cabinetmaker here, so a “ready-made product” wouldn’t be unwelcome.
What we are looking for:
A mirror cabinet approximately 50 to maximum 60cm (20 to 24 inches) high, up to 180cm (71 inches) wide (two units of around 90cm (35 inches) each is fine), preferably with sliding or floating doors. I have already searched for IKEA hacks but found nothing suitable.
There are some Italian designers offering such flat, wide mirror cabinets, but they quoted me over €4,000 (euro), which is quite a lot.

I don’t have any specific suggestions right now, but maybe it helps to generally look for cabinets first and then get the mirror separately?
There are several suppliers for cabinets and shelves that basically make them "to measure" (using a grid system)...
Then you just glue a cut-to-size mirror onto the corresponding door – boom – the custom angled mirror for the pagonic special cabinet is done.

So the mirrors suit the style, I see!
I’ve also considered that approach, but I’m still missing the idea for the matching base structure. Ultimately, it should look good, preferably with sliding or suspended doors. If it’s going to be complicated, then do it properly.
We needed a quote, but it was from quite far away, and having such a huge item delivered privately feels too risky to me.

Have you already checked out Spiegelschrank24? (Remove the underscore). Custom-made cabinets, but whether you like them is another question.

Thanks, yes I have already looked there, forgot to mention it. There are a few similar providers where you can specify every dimension, even the mirror door extending beyond the cabinet frame, which would be interesting for us.
So I already have this option in mind, but I always like to explore every possible option first. 😀
Thanks anyway!

I should have actually expected that 😉
