Put the finishing touches on your bathroom remodel with the addition of a beautiful bathroom mirror and medicine cabinet! Medicine cabinets and a bathroom mirror will enhance your bathroom in many ways, offering:

• Additional storage area
• Feeling of space
• Improved lighting.

You can find bathroom vanity mirrors and medicine cabinets to match any décor, and complement your existing bathroom vanity cabinets.

Bathroom Medicine Cabinets

Installing medicine cabinets above sinks will give you a place to hold the items you normally use with your sink and mirror. Here are a few advantages you’ll enjoy with medicine cabinets:

• Liquid products can be stored in a rust-resistant environment.
• Small items used regularly don’t have to be carried back and forth to other storage areas.

While perfect for storing toiletries, medicine cabinets aren’t the best home for your prescription medicines. Bathrooms are too humid for most medicines, which should be stored in a cool, dry environment.

Types of Medicine Cabinets

You can purchase medicine cabinets with either two or three shelves, depending on your storage needs. Moveable shelves are a great option, as they allow you to set up appropriate space for the height of the items you use. Most vanity cabinets have mirrored hinged or sliding doors and some have an additional internal mirror. You can choose:

• Full-length medicine cabinets over six feet long
• Vanity medicine cabinets designed to fit over a single sink
• Wider medicine cabinets to hang over a double sink.

Additionally you can select corner mounted, recessed or surface mounted models, with hinges either on the left or right side.

Choosing a Bathroom Mirror

A bathroom mirror is necessary for grooming and hygiene. They also brighten your bathroom and add a feeling of space. Here are some of the many types of bathroom vanity mirrors available:

• Cabinet Mirrors: Cabinet mirrors are part of another piece of furniture or cabinetry, often medicine cabinets. Both aesthetic and functional, cabinet mirrors offer an additional storage option.
• Illuminated Mirrors: Illuminated mirrors have a built in lighting fixture to help you get a good view when you are applying makeup, shaving or styling your hair. Illuminated mirrors also save electricity by providing gentle, ambient bathroom lighting.
• Wall Mirrors: This versatile bathroom mirror will hang flush with the wall, and can be found with or without frames, in a wide range of sizes and styles. A popular option for bathrooms is a full-length, frameless wall mirror, which looks great on an open wall or the back of a door.
