Mirrored Cabinets and Mirrors Guide
Design
Along with helping you look your best, mirrored cabinets can bring one more layer of design to your bathroom environment. With unique shapes, finished glass edges or coordinating wooden frames, mirrored cabinets are designed to add an attractive and functional element to your styling space.
Shape
Mirrored cabinets come in a range of shapes and standard sizes to fit bathrooms of all sizes. You can choose a shape that reflects the lines of your architecture or the details of your faucets and fixtures.
Mirror Edge
If you choose a frameless option, there are still a variety of possibilities for how the mirror edge can be finished. The level of detail can soften the look of the space or help to keep it clean and minimalist.
Beveled
A beveled or sloped finish at the edge of the mirror adds a polished elegance to the glass and an element of interest to the mirrored cabinet.
Flat
If you like the look of crisp lines and precise angles, choose a flat-edge mirrored cabinet. The result is simple and clean.
Framing Options
Frames can add a decorative or polished touch to a mirrored cabinet while frameless cabinets have their own sleek appeal. A matter of personal preference, to frame or not to frame is an option with many mirrored cabinets.
Framed
Some mirrored cabinets include a frame, while others can be paired with frames or cabinet surrounds that match the style of the vanity.
Frameless
A sleek, perhaps more modern, approach to mirrored cabinets, frameless designs often have a beveled edge or other decorative finish to the glass.
Side Kits
An optional feature on some mirrored cabinets, side kits provide a polished look for surface-mounted applications. Matching wood or glass panels cover the metal sides of the cabinets. Some models come with the side kit.
Finishes
Wooden frames designed to match specific vanity lines come in the same range of stain or paint finishes to create a coordinated look.
