Having a medicine cabinet at home is a very wise decision. The problem can arise when deciding what type of wardrobe to buy: wood, marble, glass? Each, of course, has its strengths and weaknesses that will be the basis of your choice. In most homes, a mirrored medicine cabinet is seen in the bathroom. What exactly has made them make this decision and what should you know about this type of cabinets?

advantage
For one thing, a medicine cabinet that has a mirrored door or surface serves a dual purpose. It serves as an ideal place for medicine, toothbrushes and razors, while also providing you with a mirror. You open the cabinet, take your razor, close it and shave. You do not need to move from your position.

Then there is its ability to complement any type of style. You don’t have to do much research to make sure you don’t mess up your décor. They are also known to be a good way to give an illusion of size. They can make your small bathroom look bigger. Unlike wood or other materials, they give the bathroom a clean look. Its reflective surface is well suited to bathroom accessories.

cons
For those of you with young children, any kind of mirrored furniture can be dangerous. Unless you put them in a place that would be out of their reach, you may want to put off your purchase for when they are older.

Mirrored cabinets also require regular maintenance. Any fingerprints or dirt stains will be very noticeable and will destroy the mirror effect. If you are one of those who really don’t have time for cleaning, you may want to stick with plastic or wood cabinets which are not that demanding.

Although the advantages of having a mirrored medicine cabinet outnumber the disadvantages, you will have to live with your choice. Take all the factors into account before deciding.
