Why you should install a recessed mirror cabinet
When you embark on your bathroom renovation, there are undoubtedly a lot of decisions for you to make. Whether it’s a simple upgrade or a complete overhaul, with the rise of e-commerce, there are now an abundance of options for you to choose from.
With so many choices, it can be tough finalising the products you purchase and the layout of your bathroom. From tiles to taps to a recessed mirror cabinet, there are many brands and suppliers which produce and distribute bathroom products.
Before going ahead and purchasing items, it’s a good idea to establish what you want your end result to be. This involves considering the style you want your home to emulate and what works for your household in terms of functionality and practicality.
Do you want a bathtub and a shower? What kind of shower head would you prefer? Will you invest in luxuries such as a heated shower rail or bidet? Do you want a minimalist design or something or eclectic?
These are all questions you should think about before you start your bathroom renovation. If you’re not sure where to start, it’s a good idea to gain some inspiration from interior design websites or magazines and pick out bathrooms and images that stand out to you.
It’s also a good idea to think about what you like and don’t like about your current bathroom. How could it be improved? What are some features you don’t want to change? This will help you settle on a concept and idea for your new project.
One item that is rising in popularity is the recessed mirror cabinet. Not only does it provide you with more storage, its sleek design makes it attractive to those who want a stylish bathroom. Keep on reading for more reasons to install a recessed mirror cabinet in your home.
Sleek design
Choosing a recessed mirror cabinet might seem like more work as opposed to a simple vanity or surface-mounted cupboard, but the end result is sleek and stylish. With hidden storage, you won’t have a cupboard jutting out from the wall, but can enjoy the benefits of extra space.
Before you install your recessed mirror cabinet, there are some things you must consider. If your wall is load bearing (meaning that it carries weight and distributes it to keep your floors level and house upright), you’ll need to take extra care when installing your recessed mirror cabinet.
If your cupboard can fit between two studs, there is little to worry about. However, you might want to consider calling a professional for this project just to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Once you’ve installed your recessed mirror cabinet, you’ll be able to enjoy its sleek design, which brings a modern and minimalistic feel to your bathroom.
More storage
Is your bathroom always cluttered with personal care items? Are you concerned about whether you’ll have enough space to fit all your products?
If you are struggling with the amount of storage that your vanity provides you, opting for a recessed mirror cabinet can allow for extra storage space without compromising on the space you have in your actual bathroom.
Rather than struggling to find a place for all your items or having to bend down to access things that you use daily, a recessed mirror cabinet provides you with easy access to your products. With shelves that clearly display anything from your skincare products, razors, or medicine, you’ll be able to easily organise your vanity space.
With storage hidden in the wall behind the recessed mirror cabinet, you’ll be able to hide your products easily and minimise the clutter around your sink area. Not only is it convenient, it’s practical and multi-purpose.
Keeping your bathroom clean is made much easier by installing a recessed mirror cabinet. No more leaving a mess behind you before you rush out the door – with organised shelving, everything will have its place.
Customisable
There are many options to choose from when installing your recessed mirror cabinet. You can decide on the shape that you want – whether you prefer something circular or rectangular – the setup of the cupboard, and its size.
You might choose a recessed mirror cabinet with one, two, or three doors depending on how you want the configuration to be like and how much space you want. However, when purchasing your cupboard, you should first consider whether your wall is able to accommodate the size you choose.
You can also choose whether you’d prefer your recessed mirror cabinet to be framed or frameless. Some recessed shaving cabinets have the option to add or come with LED lighting around the edge of the mirror. This creates a modern luxe aesthetic that will be the envy of your friends.
Save on space
If your bathroom is relatively small, or you just want to maximise the space available in your home, a recessed mirror cabinet is a great option.
Rather than surface mounted cupboards which stick out from the wall and can make an area seem more cramped, a recessed mirror cabinet hides its storage in the wall, minimising the space used in the bathroom.
If you’re short on space, this is a great way to add more storage without compromising any area in your bathroom. People typically have a floor standing vanity with an above counter or countertop basin alongside their recessed mirror cabinet, but you also have the option to just install a wall hung basin to allow for more foot space.
Renovating your bathroom is a hefty task and there are many things to consider before you finalise your plan. With so many choices to decide between, it’s a good idea to carefully deliberate on the fixtures and fittings you install.
A recessed mirror cabinet has multiple benefits such as its sleek design, capacity for extra storage without compromising on space, and its overall aesthetic. If your concerns are addressed above, you may want to consider installing a recessed mirror cabinet in your bathroom.
