Your Guide
Your
medicine cabinet is an important item in your bathroom. Not only does it
store those essential cosmetic and health related items, but it is often
the last mirror you look in to ensure
that you are looking just right before you head out into the world for
the day.
Although it isn’t a hard and fast rule, having your medicine
cabinet match your bathroom vanity makes for good
bathroom design.
In general,
there are two types of medicine cabinet. The first is the type that you
attach to a wall as you would a picture. Almost anyone can install one and
it can be done in minutes.
If you are going to install
one
yourself ensure that you determine exactly where you want the cabinet to be
placed. Placing your medicine cabinet over the
bathroom vanity is generally the most convenient spot, but consider all
members of the household before choosing the height that it will be placed
at.
The second type
of medicine cabinet is the recessed type. This type is placed into a cavity
within the wall and can be placed flush to the wall or slightly recessed
depending on your preference and style of cabinet. Having the cabinet set
into the wall not only saves space but also allows good access to the
bathroom vanity below.
There is a huge choice of
medicine cabinets, in a variety of styles and colors,
available on the market and it is generally best to select a style that
matches your bathroom
vanity.
You can
purchase your medicine cabinet in a variety of materials including
aluminium, steel or a hardwood such as oak. The choice of material is really
a personal one.
