That’s why a bathroom cabinet is such an essential.

A wall mounted cabinet with a mirror finds its home above a sink usually, but if your bathroom is big enough, there’s no reason not to move it to somewhere a bit more suitable for you. Make sure you use the right brackets and screws, as different surfaces require different hardware.

If in any doubt, find a professional to mount it for you - Task Rabbit has dozens of helpful souls that you can book as early as the same day.
