Bathroom mirror cabinets are a great way to add both storage and the illusion of space to what is usually the smallest room in the home. Often, homeowners need all of the organizational space they can use in the bathroom for life’s daily essentials. When these hanging mirrored cabinets are properly installed, they enhance the look and feel of the bathroom by reflecting light and space as well as keeping it clutter-free by hiding things like toothpaste, lotions, razors, etc.
A corner bathroom mirror cabinet placed above the vanity will add dimension to the space as well as reflect the face smiling back at it. These corner mirrored cabinets often have two doors that pull open or are magnetic and open with a slight push that releases the connection. Behind the doors are shelves that can hold quite a big variety of items which will allow for more space in the cabinet under the vanity as well as aiding homeowners to keep their vanity counter clean.
Bathroom mirror cabinets are available in framed or frameless styles. The mirrored cabinets can be lighted from inside which offers a sleek, ultra modern and contemporary look. Do-it-yourself homeowners can purchase a bathroom mirror cabinet in a standard prefabricated size and style, or can have one custom designed to fit their space. Custom designed bathroom mirror cabinets are of course, more costly than pre-made ones.
For a more updated look, many homeowners choose to purchase a bathroom mirror cabinet that can be recessed into the wall when installed. It is important to be sure there isn’t wiring or plumbing in the way before tearing out the drywall. If there is, and recessing is still desired, it’s best to contact a plumber or electrician (depending on the issue) to get an estimate of the costs involved in moving the obstruction.
When choosing a bathroom mirror cabinet, homeowners should take into account whether there will be enough room for the door to open. If space doesn’t allow for a fully opening door, sliding door styles are available. Prices for bathroom mirror cabinets range from approximately $150 on up depending on framing, sizing and materials used.
Bathroom mirror cabinets are a smart way to update a bathroom without investing a lot of money. With the simple addition of a mirrored cabinet along with a new vanity and countertop, an outdated bathroom can look years newer, which will result in adding to the overall value of a home.
