Bathroom Medicine Cabinets Add Much To Our Daily lives.
If you have never given this much thought just resolve for one day not to open your medicine cabinet, and cover the mirror. Before the day is done I am sure you will recognize just how much value your medicine cabinet provides.
If you are shopping for a new medicine cabinet there are a number of things to consider.
How much space do you have for a medicine cabinet? Measure your space above your vanity, and plan where you will put vanity lighting. If the vanity lighting is from above with bathroom bar lighting it will free up more space, but you should know this is not the best lighting for applying makeup and grooming. Side lights at face level are preferred.
Deciding whether you will select a wall mounted medicine cabinet or one that is recessed is also an important choice. A recessed model will protrude less and is more sleek and attractive, but will require more thought and work to install. Be sure you know where your wiring is if you are installing a recessed medicine cabinet and take safety precautions.
Wall mounted medicine cabinets are an easy installation, and can cover a hole left by an older and smaller recessed cabinet. Fill the space with some insulation before hanging your wall mounted cabinet.
Decor choices are also something to consider. You will want your new medicine cabinet to blend with the other elements and style of your bathroom decor. Conntemporary, Mission, Country, Art Deco and Early American are just a few of your style options.
There are both framed and frameless medicine cabinets. This again is just a matter of personal choice. Framed cabinets come in many wood tones such as oak, cherry and walnut. color choices are also available. Black and white are two popular options.
Frameless medicine cabinets are a very popular choice. They give a bathroom a sleek look and extend the mirrored area.
Also consider whether you want sliding doors on your medicine cabinet, or doors that swing open. It goes without saying, that the inside shelves should be adjustable.
Today's medicine cabinets offer many choices and price ranges. High end models even come with temperature control to preserve the integrity of medicines and makeup products. Fogless mirrors are a very desireable option. Cabinets that offer extra depth will solve storage needs for grooming appliances.
Good hinges should be an important feature in your mirrored medicine cabinet. Mirrors are heavy and piano or scissor hinges are needed to manage the load.
There are also corner medicine cabinets that can be a good choice for a very small bathroom or a powder room.
