Having a medicine cabinet with a mirror in your bathroom can be very useful in your daily routine. It’ll save you time in the morning when you need to get ready for your day, and it’ll save you time at night when you’re ready to kick back and relax.
Save time because you can store items in the cabinet that are used daily, such as deodorant, mouthwash, shaving cream, razors, mascara and lipstick. They can be kept right behind the mirror instead of being moved from room to room.
There are many different varieties of mirrored medicine cabinets available today. The style of cabinet you use will depend on your bathroom decor. The cabinet can be made of chrome, nickel, aluminum, or wood, such as oak or maple.
Most bathroom cabinets have a mirrored door that hinges or slides for easy access. The bathroom cabinet mirror comes in a variety of shapes and sizes: rectangular, oval, square, and arched. Mirrors can also be added to the back of a hinged door, to make it easier for you to see all sides of your face when getting ready for your day.
Some have adjustable shelves, so you can fit whatever you need in the cabinet. The shelves provide a dry storage area that is resistant to rust, in which containers for items such as hairspray, mousse, perfume or contact lens solutions can be stored.
The number of shelves that come with the cabinet depends on the size of the cabinet you choose. The taller and/or wider the dimensions, the more shelves you will have.
Lights can be purchased with the accompanying mirror cabinet or mounted on the wall just above the mirror. They make it easy to see what you’re doing when you’re getting ready to head out for the day.
Lighting options would include several ball lights or a light bar placed above the cabinet. Halogen lamps will provide the best illumination, but they can be so bright that they show you details you don’t really want to see.
And finally, don’t forget that you may need extra electrical outlets, so you can plug in a hair dryer or electric razor, or other electrical appliances you want to use in front of your mirrored medicine cabinet.
