Most people speculate over what's inside a medicine cabinet. But what about the medicine cabinet itself? It is one of the most important features for bathrooms and the market is growing. There are hundreds of medicine cabinets to choose from with different features and purposes.
Some homes come with recessed medicine cabinets already installed by previous owners. These cabinets are considered antiques and tend to be faulty or mismatch with the décor. As a result, they need to be replaced with new cabinets.
An important factor to consider when selecting a medicine cabinet is location. The size and space of the cabinet's location is important in determining size and style. Vanity medicine cabinets are designed to fit neatly above a sink or next to a tub. They are simple or complex cabinets with lighting as the main feature. Wall medicine cabinets are ideal for rooms that do not require lighting features. They are also available in a variety of styles and sizes.
The material of the medicine cabinet is also important. For instance, stainless steel cabinets don't decay and cannot be painted while wood medicine cabinets will eventually decay and can be painted to match the decor. Different kinds of lighting are available for each cabinet as well. If intense lighting is needed, fluorescent bulbs or theater lighting can be used to achieve maximum light. Sconce lighting creates a dimmed effect and is useful for areas that require minimal lighting.
There is also a bevy of features available for medicine cabinets. Cornered mirrors give a rounded edge to the glass and a magnifying mirror can be a helpful tool for cosmetic needs or shaving. Also available are decorative frames, electrical outlets and glass shelves. On the more expensive end of the features selection is the option of a heated mirror, which could help with a foggy mirror at the end of a long shower. More features include interior mirrors and a tri-view mirror.
Prices for medicine cabinets are determined based on the features, lighting and style. Medicine cabinets are usually priced from $400-$2,000. The lower end cabinets are made from a variety of materials and are usually smaller and more compact than higher end medicine cabinets. They also tend to have minimal lighting and shelves and are either surface mounted or semi-recessed.
Higher end cabinets are also made from a variety of materials and are usually larger than other cabinets. Higher end cabinets are usually recessed and include more features, better lighting and high quality finish.
The final aspect to consider when buying medicine cabinets is the style. Contemporary cabinets are usually very sleek and simple. Hip cabinets are usually very futuristic in design and complex while traditional cabinets are very simple and sensible. All of these cabinets can be purchased from a variety of online stores or home improvement stores.
No matter the style, size or price medicine cabinets have served a practical purpose for years and will continue to for many years to come.
