The first step in keeping any area of your home permanently clean is to cut down on the clutter.

This is especially true in the bathroom because of its small size and the amount of grime that can happen there.

Having surfaces covered in bottles, makeup, hair tools, and the like will not only make it seem dirty, but it will actually make it harder for you to keep clean.

Aim to have near-empty surfaces in your bathroom. Have a home for everything behind closed doors in a vanity or cupboard.

That’s where mirror cabinets come into play. In 95% of the bathrooms we renovate, we recess a mirror cabinet. This means that’s its only slightly hanging out of the wall and looks built in. It is amazing for storage, thus cleanliness!

Most people will get their mirror cabinet the same length as their vanity, but there has been a recent surge of round mirror cabinets so I’m sure there is more to come.

It’s also popular to get custom mirror cabinets made for your bathroom. While these are a lot more expensive it means they can go from wall to wall or from the top of the mixer right up to the ceiling and you can fit a lot more in.
