Medicine Cabinets: Reflections on Bathroom Storage

The mirrored medicine cabinet is a great choice for bathrooms lacking inadequate storage.  They are especially handy if you have little ones around and need to keep toiletries, medications and cleaning products out of reach.

Styles and Function

Design: Many come in a variety of styles from traditional to sleek modern designs. The mirrored glass can be oval, square or rectangular; some include glamorous spotlighting, perfect for your daily beauty regimen.

Storage: The storage offered also varies widely, with some offering multiple shelves and deep storage; while others boast beautiful ornate frames that disguise the fact there are slender shelves behind the glass.

Placement: The modern mirrored medicine cabinet can be hung as your primary mirror above your vanity.  But they also work hung on the opposing wall of your primary mirror, helping to create the illusion of a bigger space through reflection.

Tips

Group several to up the storage space and add interesting visual appeal.

Figure out what you need out of your mirrored bathroom cabinet – what items in your bathroom require storage?  Then figure out what kind of look you’re going for.  Deciding on these factors first will help simplify your search.

Most can be hung by a weekend DIY-er and require only basic tools like a drill, stud finder, screwdriver, and level.  Be sure to have a buddy around to help, as hanging the cabinet itself is certainly a two person job!
