The Mirror With Shelf Combo – Sleek And Practical Design Ideas

Where there’s a mirror there’s usually also a bunch of little things that need to be in its close proximity, hence the need for a shelf. In the bathroom, the mirror shelf can hold things like toothpaste, makeup products, hair pins, lotions, perfume bottles or small vases and planters. The items aren’t always usable….a lot of times they’re purely ornamental. In any case, a mirror with a shelf is a great combo, suitable for a variety of spaces including bathrooms, entryways, hallways or even living rooms where they can function as wall accessories.
