MIRRORS & MIRRORED CABINETS
A reflection on the calibre of the cabinet A
sh Chilver, sales director at HiB, shines a light on the changing role of
mirrored cabinets in the modern bathroom: “Once seen as a mere afterthought, mirrored
cabinets have become a centrepiece in their own right. After all, we use them almost every day to reflect our appearance and to bounce light around the room to create the illusion of more space. “The secret to creating the perfect bathroom is

striking a balance between style and practicality. And whilst the contemporary aesthetic of the latest mirrored cabinet designs provides the homeowner with a sleek and elegant finish, it is perhaps the incorporation of the latest technological advancements now available that are creating that extra ‘wow-factor’. “The introduction of LED lighting within and
around mirrored surfaces has already proven, and continues to be, a favoured enhancement. The latest products on the market offer lighting in various forms, but growing in popularity is temperature or colour changing lighting, which allows the user to change the whole ambience of the room simply by adjusting the mirror light from cool, bright white, to a softer, warmer hue.
“Equally, the sleek, seamless look of a semi-
recessed cabinet offers style-savvy homeonwers the perfect bathroom storage solution, without having to invest in a false wall for a fully recessed item. From a practical perspective, it also allows further space above the basin. “Add an innovative memory feature, so the
cabinet will remember the consumer’s personal light colour setting, along with sensor technology that allows the mirror lights to be switched on and off by a simple hand movement, and you’ve got a welcome addition that helps to make a busy homeowner’s life easier. “For those looking for the ultimate in functional,
luxurious design, an all singing, all dancing mirrored cabinet can provide a truly stunning showpiece. Beyond being a useful storage unit, the latest designs are striking in appearance when combined with lighting technology, and, like many mirrors, can incorporate heated pads to ensure the surfaces remain mist-free. Furthermore, due to the increasing trend for connected technology, products are now available with integrated charging sockets and USB sockets, allowing users to store and charge up bathroom essentials and carry out personal grooming with ease.”
