The greatly practical combination of the maximum functionality which is visually astounding makes these tall mirrored cabinets a great choice while you are giving your bathroom décor an upgrade.

How High to Hang A Mirrored Cabinet?

We always look for a good amount of space in the bathrooms to store several things- towels, linens, medicines, sanitary products, oral health products, and so on. And adding a cabinet just about the toilet is the ideal location.

A bathroom cabinet should be placed 24-inches/2-feet from the top of the toilet (a standard-tanked toilet). While choosing the height, look up for:

• Cabinet depth
• Height of cabinet
• Toilet height
• User height
• Available space.

To go into details, we need to have a measuring tape to decide where you would be installing the above-toilet cabinet.

But you can also do it the other way round. Install your above-toilet cabinet and ensure that it is put up at such a height that one bumps their head against it.

Cabinet Depth

A cabinet depth refers to the distance from the front to the back of the cabinet, the deeper the cabinet, the more it will stick out from the wall. Deeper cabinets would mean that they need to be placed higher up in the wall than other shallow cabinets. But you should avoid installing very-deep cabinets in bathrooms because someone or the other will invariably hit their head against the cabinet.

If you are opting for shallow glass cabinets, you might put them up very close to the toilet top without getting them in your way.

Cabinet Height

Space above toilet tops is not the best fit for taller cabinets, and it isn’t fruitful to instal something that decreases the usability of the bathroom space. You can increase the functionality of these short cabinets by hanging hooks from the bottom of these shelves to hang towels, linens, or extra toilet rolls.

User Height

The next thing that you need to consider next is the user height. It is considered safe to assume that people of an average height will use the bathroom. But, if you have someone very tall in your family or all of you are beyond the “average” height group, then ask your architect to adjust accordingly. It would be safe to hang the cabinet higher than usual for taller people and make the storage accessible without getting hurt every other day.

However, if you still getting bumped against it regularly, give it a thought to installing bumpers on the bottom corners of the glass cabinets.

The Height of The Toilet

Not all toilets are of the same height and can vary noticeably by toilet type. So, plan, talk to your architect about installing a toilet-above cabinet, only once the toilet has been installed.

Keep your mind the height of your family members, and discuss it with your architect. The tall mirrored cabinet should situate anywhere between 20-40-inches from the tallest point of the toilet.

Available Space

Last but not the least, one thing that you need to consider along with choosing where to place the cabinet is that the space available in the room, and if it will look very cramped after installation. If you have smaller bathrooms, you might be required to put the cabinet higher up on the wall to make your bathroom roomier.

So, if you’re planning to revamp your bathroom or set up a bathroom in your newly-brought house, give these points a read. It will help you to set up your dream bathroom with maximum functionality with a roomier look.
