Does your bathroom feel cramped at times? If so, adding a bathroom mirror cabinet to it can greatly help free up valuable space.

As you might have gathered, this unit combines the functions of a mirror and a cabinet. So, it enables you to install just one fixture in place of what would usually be two.

Better still, here at Light Mirrors, we can provide you with the perfectly suited illuminated LED cabinet mirror. This would enable you to see your reflection in wonderful clarity as you wash your face, brush your teeth, and shave every morning.

At the same time, though, the efficiency of any storage space depends on exactly how you use it. The following tips will help ensure you get the best out of your own bathroom mirror cabinet.

·         Put Up Over-the-Door Racks

You know how, when you open your fridge, there are shelves attached to the inside door? Well, you can add such shelving to a bathroom mirror cabinet, too.

Our team at Light Mirrors can give you a mirror cabinet with lights, as well as easy-to-follow installation instructions. So, you won’t have to wait for long before the storage unit is securely in place on your bathroom wall.

Similarly, it isn’t difficult to hang racks on the back of a cabinet door. You don’t even need any tools for the job. While bigger items like rolled-up towels can go inside the cabinet’s main storage compartments, the racks can be saved for smaller pieces like toothpastes and shampoos.

·         Categorise Supplies Based on Their Type

It’s bad enough when you can’t find something you urgently need. However, it’s even more frustrating when you can’t figure out where you could have conceivably left the given item.

To help avoid those “I thought I put it here” moments, it can be a good idea to dedicate different storage spaces to different types of supplies.

For example, all your aftershaves could be kept in one place, while you might choose to transfer your soaps to their own separate area – but perhaps not too separate.

If, for instance, you put your aftershaves in your bathroom mirror cabinet but leave the soaps completely outside it, this may actually add to your day-to-day confusion.

So, it would probably be wise to store as many as of your bathroom supplies as possible in the same cabinet. Just make sure different types of supplies are kept in distinctly different areas within the cabinet! This way, you will always know generally where to reach when you need a specific type of thing.

·         Stock Up on Clear Boxes or Labelled Baskets

This will further help you to quickly distinguish between different types of supplies. Let’s assume you store a lot of makeup in your bathroom. One translucent Tupperware box could be saved for mascara, while another could hold the lipsticks, another the nail polishes… and so on.

These containers would let you quickly see what is inside each one. However, you don’t have to settle just for Tupperware boxes if you think these would look a little too utilitarian. One attractive alternative would be to source cute little baskets and attach a label to each.

While you are here on the Light Mirrors website, you can easily order a mirror with lights and storage — the latter offering more than enough space for boxes and baskets.
