Why Choose a Mirror Shaving Cabinet?

Mirror shaving cabinets are an elegant and functional solution for modern bathrooms, not only it serves as a mirror, but also offers storage. Here’s why they’re becoming an increasingly popular choice:

Storage

One of the main advantages of mirror shaving cabinets is their built-in storage. They offer ample space to store toiletries, medications, and other bathroom essentials, all hidden behind the mirrored doors. This design not only keeps your countertop clutter-free but also adds a touch of elegance to your bathroom by keeping items out of sight.

Organisation

With adjustable shelves and customisable compartments, mirror shaving cabinets are ideal for organising bathroom essentials. From daily skincare products to first-aid supplies, everything has its place, making it easy to access what you need while maintaining an organised, streamlined look.

Lighting

Many mirror shaving cabinets now come with integrated LED lighting, which adds both style and practicality. The lighting enhances visibility, making it perfect for grooming tasks, and adds a soft glow that elevates the bathroom ambiance.

Top Features to Look for in a Mirror Shaving Cabinet

When choosing the perfect mirror shaving cabinet for your bathroom, consider key features that balance style, function, and convenience. Here’s what to keep in mind:

Design and Style

Modern mirror shaving cabinets come in various designs to suit different aesthetics, from frameless, minimalist options to sleek, decorative trims. Consider a style that complements the rest of your bathroom decor, whether it’s contemporary, classic, or industrial.

Storage Options

Look for cabinets with versatile storage configurations, such as adjustable shelves, removable compartments, and divided sections. These options allow you to customise the cabinet’s interior, keeping everything from small toiletries to larger items well-organised and accessible.

Lighting Options

Integrated LED lighting is a popular feature in many modern mirror shaving cabinets, providing better visibility for grooming while enhancing the bathroom’s ambiance. LED lights are also energy-efficient and long-lasting, adding a practical and stylish touch to your bathroom.

Installation Type

Depending on your bathroom’s layout, you may want a wall-mounted or recessed cabinet. Wall-mounted cabinets are easier to install and can work in most spaces, while recessed cabinets create a flush look, making them ideal for a sleek, minimalist appearance.

At Onemade, all of our shaving cabinets are wall-mounted so it’s easy to install. We can also accommodate LED lighting options when ordering.

How to Choose the Right Mirror Shaving Cabinet for Your Space

Selecting the perfect mirror shaving cabinet involves balancing function, style, and fit. Here’s what to consider:

Consider Bathroom Size

If you have a small bathroom, you can opt for our compact, wall-mounted cabinet to save floor space while adding essential storage. Larger bathrooms can accommodate wider cabinets, offering more storage and creating a striking focal point.

Style Compatibility

Choose a cabinet that complements your bathroom’s style. Our sleek, frameless designs are ideal for modern and minimalist spaces, while cabinets with subtle trims or decorative finishes can enhance traditional bathrooms.

Storage Needs

Evaluate your storage requirements. If you need room for a variety of items, look for cabinets with adjustable shelves or multiple compartments to keep everything organised and easily accessible.

Mirror Type

Consider mirrors with features like anti-fog, LED lighting, or magnification, depending on your daily needs. Onemade mirrors are custom-made and slimline framed. You can also buy a separate mirror if you already have a cabinet, as our mirrors are designed to perfectly fit shaving cabinets for DIY installs. 

Shape of the Mirror

Mirror shape plays a big role in the overall aesthetic. Rectangular or square mirrors are classic and versatile, fitting well in most bathrooms. For a softer look, consider oval or round mirrors, which can add a touch of modern elegance or vintage charm.

By considering these elements, you can select a mirror shaving cabinet that perfectly enhances both the style and functionality of your bathroom.

Maintenance Tips for Mirror Shaving Cabinets

Cleaning and Care

• Mirror Surface: Use a glass cleaner to keep the mirror streak-free. Wipe with a microfiber cloth for the best results.
• Cabinet Exterior: Clean the cabinet surface with a damp cloth and a mild detergent suitable for the finish (e.g., Laminex, Polytec, or Formica). Avoid harsh chemicals to prevent damage.

Preventing Moisture Buildup

• Ventilation: Ensure your bathroom is well-ventilated to reduce humidity and prevent mold or mildew from developing inside the cabinet.
• Anti-Fog Spray: Apply an anti-fog spray to the mirror if it tends to fog up frequently, especially in smaller bathrooms.

Protecting the Finish

• Avoid Excess Water: Wipe away any water that splashes onto the cabinet to maintain the finish and prevent warping.
• Regular Dusting: Dust the cabinet and shelves regularly to prevent buildup and keep the surface looking clean.

Regular care and cleaning can extend the life of your mirror shaving cabinet, keeping it in top condition for years to come.
