Ever thought about needing storage space in your bathroom? It’s an issue, for folks dealing with countertops and no room for essentials, like toothbrushes, hair accessories and skincare items. If this sounds familiar, a bathroom mirror with side cabinets may be the perfect solution for you!
Year during the renovation of our bathroom my husband and I aimed to create a layout while maintaining a sleek and uncluttered design. This led us to the concept of incorporating a mirror along with coordinating side cabinets. This not provided us with concealed storage but also added an elegant touch to the space. We often receive inquiries, from others in organizing their bathrooms in a fashion.
