1. Medicine Cabinets
In recent years past, many decorators and designers have opted for decorative mirrors instead of the more traditional medicine cabinet. However, with many young people beginning the home buying experience in 500 sq ft condos and many others downsizing as their family needs change, efficient use of space is returning to the forefront on a larger scale. Since medicine cabinets are multi-functional – providing both hidden storage and a mirror – and have minimal to no impact on the overall footprint, they are a perfect addition to any bathroom, big or small!
