There are two main features we want to bring to your attention in this blog: the shaver sockets and the demister. The first is the demister. Our Mood Living demister is a feature in not just our mirror cabinets but in a selection of our mirrors also. We believe this is a wonderful and innovative feature for any bathroom, and many customers find that once they try it – they can’t imagine not having one in their bathroom! So, what does a demister do? Well, it prevents your mirror from steaming up while you shower. This means you no longer have to hang a towel over the mirror to prevent it fogging over, or you no longer have to wipe away the steam after your shower only to leave streaky marks. Simply turn on your demister and it will keep your mirror free of steam or streaks while you are in the shower. You can enjoy your shower as long as you like, and as hot as you like, knowing you’ll have a crystal clear reflection to come out to afterwards. The demister pad is wire-free and is activated in a similar way that you would activate the LED lights of the bathroom mirror.
Next up, the shaver socket function. Shaver sockets have been an essential built-in feature in bathrooms for years now. However, have you ever wished there was a more discreet way for the electric toothbrushes and shavers in your home to be charged? A way to keep your bathroom decluttered? Thanks to Mood Living cabinets there now is. The 240V shaver socket is positioned and installed inside the cabinet, not only allowing you to maximise space in your bathroom, but this also aids in safety by keeping the electrical items away from any possible water and electrical damage. The shaver socket is operated by an of/off switch inside the cabinet, and it works independently from the demister and illuminating LED lights. We love that this allows you to utilise the space in your bathroom more, and allows your toothbrushes to charge discreetly, meaning they are always ready to go when you need them.
Of course, no two bathrooms are the same, and here at Mood Living we want to give you that special unique touch that you dream of. We have a fantastic range of bathroom cabinets available in our online store, they are all unique in shape and style, so whatever you are looking for, we are confident we’ve got something to match. Whether you like a simplistic look, or a glamorous hotel-chic, we’ve got it. Our bathroom cabinets all come with beautiful LED illuminated lights, keeping your reflection bright and clear whether it is night or day. These lights can be all-around, shining just from above, or we also have cabinets with LED lights placed in beautiful patterns.
We would always recommend that you get a qualified electrician to carry out any electrical jobs within your home. Our Mood Living products are very easy to install, and to make sure it is fitted safely, we provide an online fitting instruction guide to make sure you have all the information that you need. Since the cabinets can be quite heavy, it’s a good idea to have an electrician check the area it is going to be installed to make sure that the wall can support the cabinet. All our mirror cabinets come with high quality shelf brackets that are very sturdy. They also come with cushioned door stoppers that not only provide you with extra protection, but are excellent for noise reduction too.
If you have any questions regarding the bathroom cabinets with shaver socket and demister, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. They come with a variety of other features, which you can read about in our previous blogs and get further details in product descriptions on our website. Our LED illuminated products are a great investment as in comparison to regular bulbs they don’t have filaments that burn out, and as a result your LED light is guaranteed to last much longer. So get in touch today via our website, and discover how Mood Living can transform your home.
]]>There are a couple of features you should consider when looking for a bathroom cabinet, which we are going to look through today. The first thing you should consider is size. We have a range of sizes available for bathroom cabinets and it is important you choose a size that is appropriate for your room. If you choose a cabinet that is too small for your large bathroom, it likely means that your bathroom will only remain cluttered as there is not enough room in your cabinet to store everything you need to. On the other hand, if you have a small bathroom and you choose a very large cabinet, this is only going to cause your space to look overcrowded and the cabinet will look out of place, so choose wisely to find the right fit for your room. Do remember though, that when you purchase a cabinet from Mood Living (or any product from Mood Living!) that it will always come manufactured to BS standard. All our products are designed to please, so they come with aftersales care and a guarantee to ensure that you keep loving our Mood Living products.
After size, the next important features to consider when choosing a bathroom cabinet is shape and style. Do you prefer a square cabinet, or one that is longer and more rectangular? Would you like a single door, or two doors? There are several options available on our Mood Living website that are able to cater for a range of tastes. We love that our bathroom cabinets go with absolutely every style; whether you like it clean and clear, or upmarket chic – we’ve got you covered. Each cabinet is unique in shape and style, so whatever refresh your bathroom needs, our team can help find you the cabinet style you desire.
Whether you choose a small bathroom cabinet or a large one, we always recommend getting a professional to help install your new bathroom unit. We offer an online fitting instruction guide that provides a step-by-step tutorial on how to properly hang your bathroom cabinet. A qualified electrician will be able to ensure your cabinet is properly connected to the electricity and will ensure the wall you are securing your cabinet to is strong enough to hold the weight.
The final thing to consider when choosing a bathroom cabinet is: features. This is something we truly take pride in at Mood Living as each of our bathroom cabinets are packed full of features that make your cabinet the centrepiece of your bathroom. Not only are our cabinets illuminated with LED lights that are energy efficient and much more cost effective than traditional bulbs and with a longer life-span – we also offer a few other features. Always check the product description on our website to see if your cabinet comes with:
These unique features can have a transformative effect on your bathroom experience, streamlining your mornings: your toothbrush is always charged, the mirror is steam free after the shower – and who doesn’t enjoy listening to some music to kick start their morning?
No matter what you look for in a bathroom cabinet, from style to extra features, we’re confident we’ve got the cabinet your bathroom needs. So, have a browse through our website and see what catches your eye. Always make sure to check the product description, and if you have any questions about any of our products, don’t hesitate to get in touch, we’d love to help!
]]>Right now at Mood Living, we’re having a sale across all our bathroom cabinets with various discounts. Therefore, we thought now would be the perfect time to create a blog post, outlining the benefits of bathroom cabinets, the options available to you at Mood Living, and a complete bathroom cabinet buying guide.
To begin, we are going to look at the features that come with a Mood Living bathroom cabinet. All of our cabinets are mirrored and illuminated, with lights fully certified to British Standard. Each cabinet comes with high quality shelf brackets to ensure your cabinet is fitted safely and is extremely sturdy. We also fit each cabinet with cushioned door stoppers for extra protection and to aid noise reduction – this means if someone is using the bathroom cabinet during the night, no one else will be awakened by the sound of noisy doors opening and slamming closed.
The lights fitted on each of our illuminated cabinets are LED lights. These lights are much more efficient than traditional filament bulbs that easily burn out. LED lights will last you for a much longer time, between 30-50,000 hours, and will prove to be greatly cost effective as you will not have to be replacing the bulbs frequently. The lights are controlled by a hands-free motion sensor, and a few of our cabinets even come with warm and cold light settings. This complete freedom over your lighting choices means your bathroom mirror will be illuminated just the way you need it, no matter the time of day and how much access to natural light you have. Just make sure to check our product descriptions to see if the cabinet has the light features that you are looking for.
The LED lights on Mood Living mirrors come in a variety of styles, just like the cabinets themselves. The lights can be framing the illuminated cabinet to give the perfect glamourous glow, or the lights can be shining directly from above like traditional lighting sources, and of course we have the option to use our lighting as a decorative feature where the lights are arranged in patterns and gorgeous designs on the mirror.
The LED lights aren’t the only feature that make Mood Living cabinets stand out from the crowd. Once you open up the cabinet, there are a host of other features to make this a product that works hard to make your bathroom as multi-tasking as possible. When you purchase a Mood Living cabinet, it is important you read the product description online as you will see that some of our cabinets come with special features – such as the addition of Bluetooth. By adding Bluetooth to our cabinets, you can safely connect your mobile up to keep any electronic devices safe from water damage by keeping them away from the shower. Simply connect up and let the mirror do the work, allowing the built-in Bluetooth speakers project your favourite songs while you have a sing-a-long in the shower. To make your bathroom experience even better, you can stay in your hot shower as long as your like, because Mood Living wire-free demister pads mean your mirrors will remain steam free from morning to night, no matter how long you’re in the shower you won’t have to worry about not being able to see your reflection whenever you step out.
Finally, there is an additional feature inside Mood Living cabinets. A 240v shaver socket is positioned and installed in the cabinet to help maximise both space and safety. It is operated by an on/off switch that works independently from the LED lights switch. The shaver socket means that you can discreetly charge your shavers and electric toothbrushes inside your cabinet, keeping your bathroom decluttered but also meaning these items are charged and ready to go whenever you need them.
Mood Living bathroom cabinets come in a variety of styles and finishes, but each of them is wall hung and therefore while we provide a guide on fitting this storage unit, we always recommend getting a professional to fit your mirrored cabinet as they will be able to secure it safely, keeping your walls protected and ensuring the cabinet, once fitted, will last you a lifetime.
Bathrooms have a tendency to become messy and overcrowded, that’s why having a bathroom cabinet hung on your wall can truly transform any bathroom. By opening up more floor space, your wall cabinet will help you declutter your bathroom, allowing you to store away toothbrushes and products out of sight. A mirrored cabinet is the perfect storage space and vanity unit combined.
If you are looking for bathroom storage solutions, or simply a new modern bathroom style, look no further than Mood Living. Our cabinets come in a wide range of sizes, perfect for any bathroom large or small. All of our products come with aftersales care and a product guarantee: all of our items are manufactured to the highest quality and we have no doubt that you will love them. If you have any queries about any Mood Living products, don’t hesitate to get it touch with one of the members of our team – simply click on the contact section of our website and we’ll do our best to answer any of your questions about Mood Living bathroom cabinets, or any of our other products.
When you’re unsure what storage space your bathroom needs – a storage cabinet is the best place to start. Bathroom cabinets are essential for any tidy and minimal-looking bathroom. They are a great way to keep your space decluttered, but also bring your personality into the room when you are designing it. Most bathrooms have a space above the sink where a cabinet can be fitted; but there are plenty of types of cabinets to choose from, including both free-standing options and wall-mounted options. Here at Mood Living, our cabinets are LED-lit, meaning you not only get a useful storage space, but a mirror that is beautifully lit. There are so many ways to make use of your bathroom cabinets and all types of items can be stored in them – so in this article we are going to take a look at how you can make the most out of your bathroom cabinet this summer.
To make full use of a cabinet from Mood Living, you must first realise that storage is by no means the only function. Each mirror cabinet has wire-free LED lights, some of these can even be adjusted for both warm and cold colour settings: you can change the mirror light to your mood with the hands-free motion sensor. Not only can the colour be changed, but you can choose how bright or dim you wish the lighting to be. Our mirrors also come with a demister installed, allowing you to enjoy your shower for as long as you like without having to worry about your mirror steaming over. Bluetooth speakers are an additional benefit you can choose from if you like to listen to music while in the shower. Often, we like to bring our music with us to the shower, but we risk water damage or the steam harming our phone. When you connect your phone to the Bluetooth speakers, you can keep your phone stored safely away and allow the mirror speakers to play your music for you. Phones aren’t the only electrical item used in the bathroom – shavers are used in this room also. That is why we built shaver sockets into our LED bathroom mirror cabinets, so shavers can not only be stored discreetly within the cabinet, but they can be charged in there also. The shaver socket has an on/off switch that works separately to the illuminating LED lights which are operated by an infrared motion sensor that needs just 15cm clearance to operate.
Mood Living cabinets come with high-quality shelf brackets that are safe and sturdy to use. There are also cushioned door stoppers on all our cabinets to protect the product and reduce noise. Bathrooms have a tendency to become messy and overcrowded, but with these convenient storage spaces, you can keep your rooms tidy with zero hassle. There are quite a few different sizes you can get bathroom cabinets in and the size you choose really depends not only on what size your bathroom is, but what you plan on using the cabinet for. Tall bathroom cabinets are fantastic for storing towels in, while cabinets with more shallow spaces between shelves are a more suitable option for storing products and everyday essentials. Furthermore, larger cabinets with lots of shelving is great if there are several people sharing a bathroom and each person can have a shelf to themselves.
If you’ve already got a cabinet in your bathroom but you’re finding your space is still cluttered, now is the time to give it a revamp! Summer is a great time to freshen up the look of your bathroom, and by simply decluttering and reorganising your room, it is a simple (and free!) way to transform the bathroom.
If your cabinet is overflowing, the first step is to take everything out and throw away any empty bottles that may be lying in there, or any bottles that are no longer being used. While the cabinet is still empty, take a damp cloth and wipe down the shelves and insides of the cabinet to return them to the dazzling condition they were once in. Then take some time organising all your products within your cabinet once again. Could they be organised by person, each individual having their own shelf? Perhaps they could be organised by importance, daily products kept to the front? Or if you have some particularly pretty bottles, maybe they could be on show at the front?
After this, if your cabinet is still overflowing, there are more options. When it comes to the before-mentioned “pretty” bottles, why not take these out of the cabinet and have them on display? Afterall, a cabinet is a great place to keep things hidden. Move toothbrushes, razors, and that old spot cream into the cabinet, and transfer the luxurious bath soak out into the open to act as an aesthetic feature instead. The same suggestion works for towels: while the cabinet is ideal for storage, you may want to keep a few of them artfully arranged on a towel rack so they are more accessible.
We always recommend you get a professional electrician to install your illuminated Mood Living cabinet to make sure it is fitted correctly and securely. Our cabinets come with aftersales care, a guarantee, and each meet BS standard, so you can purchase with the knowledge that you are getting a great product that you will be using for years to come. Bathroom cabinets are a wonderful storage solution and practical installation in any home.

]]>Not to mention an ensuite offers a relaxing, private space that is all your own. Because let’s face it, our bathrooms are our sanctuaries. They are the place where we get ready in the morning and unwind at the end of a busy day.
So what should you do if you don’t have an ensuite bathroom in your home? Well, make one, of course!
In this guide, we’re going to talk you through the different considerations and how you can create an ensuite all of your own.
First and foremost, you need to decide where your ensuite will be located in relation to your bedroom and other rooms in the house. You need to determine:
Once you know this, you’ll be better equipped to get planning underway.
It’s important to remember that you don’t need a huge home to accommodate an ensuite. With careful planning and design, you can make even the smallest space into a luxury ensuite bathroom - even if it’s a small one!
You need to have a good understanding of where your ensuite will go and how it will be designed in order to give you a better idea of the budget. For example, building an extension is going to be more expensive than converting an existing room.
If you already have a strict budget in mind, this might affect how you design your new bathroom, how big it can be and how it will be furnished and decorated. Some of the things you need to consider in your costs include:
Because there is a lot to consider, you need to keep your budget in mind at all times when creating your ensuite.
If done right, an ensuite bathroom can increase the value of your home. However, you just need to be sure that ultimately you aren’t creating an ensuite that will actually reduce its value.
For example, if you’re turning an existing space into a bathroom when it could be used as a bedroom or office space, this might negatively impact the overall value of your home in the long run. So before you go through with any building work, make sure you’re confident in your decision, and you won’t regret it at a later date.
Depending on whether you’re going to need to build an extension or new partitioning walls, you might need to get planning permission in order to go ahead with your project. So before you start converting your home, you need to find out for sure if you need to apply.
If you do, you will need to gain building regulations approval and find out about any guidelines from your local council before you start. This will ensure that your new ensuite is legitimate and won’t cause you problems further down the line.
Now you’re almost getting there. Next you need to find a designer who can put together an official plan for your project. You might have put something together yourself initially, but it’s always a good idea to get a professional design/blueprint drawn up to help out the construction teams when work begins.
The final stage in creating your ensuite bathroom is finding the right tradesmen to do the work for you. It’s like you’re going to need a range of service providers, for example, plumbers and bricklayers.
As such, you need to do your research to find local businesses that have great client testimonials and who can create the ensuite bathroom of your dreams.
After this, you can get an official start date in your diary and make your ensuite bathroom dreams a reality.
]]>With so many beautiful mirrors out there, narrowing it down can be tricky.
Well, we’re here to tell you that every home needs an illuminated mirror - and here is why!
First and foremost, you can get illuminated mirrors in lots of different styles and finishes, so you can still find the perfect size and shape for your rooms.
What’s more, having lights that hang over your mirror in a bid to see better can actually be a bit of an eyesore. You can see the bulbs reflected in the mirror, and they also take up valuable head space in smaller rooms.
For this reason, backlit mirrors are not only practical, but they also look great and complement your room too.
Choosing an illuminated mirror means they are built for purpose and won’t cast any unsightly shadows on you when you use them. This is because the light is distributed evenly around the mirror so you can see yourself clearly.
This also makes it better for applying makeup, shaving, styling your hair or whatever your beauty regime entails. And hey, that’s what a mirror is for, right?
Illuminated mirrors still aren’t very widely used but the addition of these to your bedroom or bathroom can instantly make it feel glamorous and dramatic, like the dressing room of a Hollywood star!
And because they aren’t widely used, they also make a bit of a statement and will certainly be a talking point for guests who visit your home.
Because many illuminated mirrors will use LED lights or other energy-saving solutions, rather than incandescent ones, these mirrors can actually use a lot less energy than your average light. However, you should look into which type of bulb is used before purchasing your new mirror.
If you choose one with LEDs, not only are they going to be more energy-efficient and better for the planet, but in most cases, they will also last a lot longer than your average light bulb.
Whether you’re having a relaxing bath or sitting in your bedroom reading a book, the soft glow of your illuminated mirror can really set the mood. These can be dimmer and warmer than some light bulbs, making them perfect for relaxing and unwinding in the evenings - no matter what you’re doing.
You probably know all about how mirrors can open up a space and make it look bigger and brighter, but with an illuminated mirror, this is even more true!
As well as opening up the room, you can create a real sense of depth with the mirror coming slightly away from the wall to add another layer to your decor.
What’s more, illuminated cabinets in a bathroom can add depth whilst also being a great storage solution. This is ideal for smaller rooms that you want to feel bigger and have more places to keep your belongings.
They might sound like they’re going to be complicated or difficult to install but the reality is, these are actually pretty straightforward. If you’re low on cash, you could even create your own illuminated mirror using a strip of LED lights.
Alternatively, for a more professional, flawless look, buy a pre-built illuminated mirror and have it installed in your chosen room. Specialists from your chosen company should be able to come and put this in for you.
And perhaps most importantly, these mirrors can make you look good and give you a confidence boost before you head out the door! This is because the soft glow of the lights will always make sure you look great, rather than bright invasive lighting that can be less flattering.
]]>But just because these are typically used for vanity stations, this doesn’t mean you can’t get creative with them.
If you’ve already got a Hollywood mirror at home or you’re planning on buying one, we’re here to inspire you. Below, we’ve pulled together a list of six unexpected ways you can use your mirror in your home.
If you love to spend your time outdoors and you have a dedicated covered area where you sit or an outdoor bar or summer house, why not jazz this space up with a Hollywood mirror.
Not only can this look great and make your outdoor space feel even bigger, but it can also be very handy if you plan to sit outdoors in the evenings when it’s getting dark. This can create a cosy environment whilst offering light, so you don’t need to go indoors just because the sun has set.
Why not transform your unused space into something stylish and functional? You don’t just need to put your Hollywood mirror by a desk or vanity area. Instead, why not place your mirror in any unused recesses or alcove in your bedroom, bathroom or study.
This can help to open the space out and make the room feel bigger. It also ensures this space is no longer going unused.
You could even add drawers, shelves or a table to this space to turn it into a dressing room.
Are you looking to transform a small space like the cupboard under your stairs, the loft, a wardrobe or even just a tiny bedroom or office? If so, then a Hollywood mirror could be just what you need.
Not only can the mirror help to make the room feel bigger, but the addition of the LEDs helps to add some light to the room and make it feel even brighter. This can be particularly important in rooms with no windows like cupboards or wardrobes.
And by adding a Hollywood mirror, you can instantly turn the space into a cosy hideaway and a place where you can get ready for a night out, tucked away from the rest of the household.
Why not opt for a Hollywood mirror, complete with stylistic LED lights but have this in cabinet form instead?
What do we mean by this?
Well, why waste space in your bathroom when you can make your mirror multi-functional. There are lots of beautiful cabinets out there now, including those that are lit up with LED lights.
These are not only ideal for helping you to get ready and brighten up your bathroom, but they also give you more storage space. This can help to declutter and keep your room looking neat and tidy.
Have you got an empty block of wall space above your bed? Perhaps you were considering hanging a piece of artwork or a photo frame there? If so, why not consider hanging a Hollywood mirror instead.
This can add a real cosy feel to the bedroom, and using dimmer bulbs can be a great way to create a relaxing ambience when you’re going to bed. Ensure the switch is within reaching distance, and you can control the lights without even having to get up.
If you’re short on space or you just don’t have room to hang another mirror in your room, why not attach your Hollywood mirror to the inside of your wardrobe door instead.
Then, when you shut the door, the mirror is out of sight but open it up to get ready, and you have a great mirror that you can use to do your usual beauty regime or to apply makeup.
If you want to do something special with your Hollywood mirror, don’t be afraid to get creative. These can be the perfect addition to any room or perhaps even an outdoor space, so don’t just stick it in the bathroom like everyone else!
Get creative and you can find a unique and unexpected use for your Hollywood mirror.
]]>So if you’ve got a small bathroom, you might be wondering how you can transform the room to make it appear more spacious without having to knock a few walls down. Well, we can help you with that.
Below, we’ve pulled together a guide to using mirrors to create space. We’ll also look at some of the best types of mirrors to help you do this.
Smaller bathrooms might also mean the room has smaller windows too, which can make the space feel even more restricted. But the good news is, there is a solution.
By getting yourself a mirror that is cut and framed to mimic a window, it will serve as a focal point of the room and help to brighten it up, much like a larger window would.
This can stop it from feeling quite as cramped or claustrophobic.
There are loads of neat optical illusions you can create using tall and slender mirrors (think stretching yourself in a house of mirrors), so why not try this method in your bathroom.
By using tall and, in particular, thin mirrors, you draw the eye upwards. This can make the ceilings and walls feel taller, which creates a more spacious feel to the room as a whole.
The key way in which a mirror is able to make a room feel bigger is through reflecting the light, and you can help make the room even brighter by choosing a mirror that comes with its own light source. And there are lots of stylish options available right now so you can boost the brightness and feel of the room.
For example, choose an LED illuminated mirror or one which comes with ambient lighting or bulbs like you see in Hollywood dressing rooms. Choose the style that best matches your bathroom, and this technique can work wonders for making the room feel bigger.
Whether you are a collector of beautiful pieces or you have bought a set of multiple mirrors, these can add real character to your bathroom. But more than this, these can help to drastically brighten up the room and make it feel bigger and more airier.
And because these mirrors are more decorative than practical, you can get really creative. You could opt for circles, different size squares or even hexagons for a fun honeycomb effect.
There are lots of interior designers out there that swear by the oversized mirror, so why not go big with it?
Of course, you have to be aware of your space and try to avoid bulky frames that might take up even more room, but as a general rule, a big mirror can seamlessly make the room appear larger.
That said, as this is going to be a huge focal piece, you need to make sure you choose a mirror that suits your decor and complements the style of your bathroom.
The final suggestion in our guide is to find a mirror that is more than just a decorative piece or way to look at yourself. If you choose a mirror that does double the duty, this can be a secret weapon for your small space.
For example, a bathroom cabinet with mirrored doors or a mirror with an adjoining shelf can be the ideal way to create boost light and space whilst also offering an additional storage solution.
This might even mean you’re able to get rid of free-standing units or cluttered sides, which is another technique for freeing up space and making the room feel bigger. So it’s a win-win in both respects.
These are just some of our top suggestions for how you can make your mirrors work for you. And you’ll be amazed at what adding just one mirror can do.
So find something that suits your personal style and the decor of your room, and you can quickly transform your space.
]]>Between rushing around to get ready for work, preparing for a night out or just wanting to relax and unwind after a long day, a lot goes on in your bathroom.
So if you’re tired of battling your tiny room and you don’t have the space or budget for a huge refurbishment, we’ve got just what you need.
In this guide, we’re going to share our tips and tricks for making the most of every square inch of space in your bathroom, including some of our favourite creative storage hacks.
So if you’re ready to transform your space, read on to find out more.
Every bathroom needs at least one mirror, but have you considered a dual-purpose mirror? A beautiful mirrored cabinet is not only a stylish addition to your bathroom, but it is also a great storage solution for smaller spaces.
When closed, you can brush your teeth or check your make up, but swing the door open and you’ll reveal a number of shelves where you can store your healthcare and beauty products.
And nowadays, you can get some really beautiful mirrored cabinets, including luxurious illuminated cabinets complete with LED lights.
Rather than having your towels stacked up on the side or in a free-standing unit and taking up room, why not get yourself a wall-mounted towel rack?
This could be a flat, heated towel rack behind the door, though this is usually only ideal if you live on your own or with one other person and don’t need lots of towels.
Alternatively, a wall-mounted storage unit with individual cubbyholes can be a great space saver. If you learn how to properly roll your larger towels, then you’ll be able to fit even more inside.
One of the simplest ways to declutter your bathroom and make more of your space is to ensure that everything has a place.
A shower organiser is the perfect way to free up space on your bath and surfaces. You could opt for a shower caddy that sticks to the wall or a hanging organiser that hooks over the shower rail and hangs inside the shower.
This gives you a place to store your shower gel, shampoo, razors, sponges and anything else you may need whilst in the shower.
Why not occupy space that isn’t being used by making the most of every corner. This could mean installing a corner sink, or perhaps, if you’re looking for something a little less drastic, simply have some corner shelves mounted on the wall.
You could even go for a set of floor-to-ceiling triangle shelves in the corner to keep all your belongings on. This can help to free up space elsewhere in your bathroom.
The space immediately around the toilet doesn’t have to go to waste either. You can add more storage to your bathroom by purchasing a shelving unit that fits nicely over the back of the toilet.
Alternatively, you could add another cabinet or some floating shelves on the wall above the toilet.
Another inexpensive but stylish storage solution is to mount a set of wicker baskets to the wall to act as shelves.
With their open top, these are ideal places to keep your lotions, toiletries, makeup, small towels and more.
And the final suggestion on our list is one that requires a bit more work but can definitely free up some space.
If you very rarely use your bath and prefer to shower, then why not consider getting rid of your bath altogether?
Of course, this will take a bit more time, effort and you need to be sure that you definitely don’t want the bath before you remove it, but this can be a real transformation of your space.
A shower takes up far less room, so you can free up more space for living or for other practical storage solutions.
]]>We’re going to look at six types of bathroom mirrors that can help you to transform your space.
]]>But more than this, it can be a great way to open up your space (especially in smaller bathrooms), make the room feel lighter and it can also be an additional decorative aspect to add to the style of your room.
So whether you’re doing a big refurbishment on your bathroom or just looking to add a few small decorative touches, we’ve got the inspiration you need.
Below, we’re going to look at six types of bathroom mirrors that can help you to transform your space.
A full-length mirror is not only practical for being able to see your entire self and outfit from head to toe, but it can also help to open up the room. As such, this can be especially useful in a small bathroom.
Alternatively, you don’t have to hang the mirror vertically. You could also put this on the wall horizontally to open up the space even further.
You could go for a frameless full-length mirror mounted to the wall or you could choose a beautiful frame to add to your decor. Hey, if you’ve got the space, you could even get a free-standing full-length mirror.
If you love spending your time grooming yourself and applying makeup, a Hollywood mirror could be the solution for you.
Surrounded by light bulbs, you’ll be able to brighten up your space and see yourself much clearer. This can be helpful in a bathroom with limited natural light coming in.
Not to mention this can add a real touch of glamour to your room, making it feel like a celebrity dressing room.
Plus, the LED bulbs last for ages! So you won’t have to switch these out very often.
A pivot mirror is fixed to the wall on a flexible mount so that it can be pulled out and used at different angles. This can be the perfect addition to any bathroom, especially if you need to pull your mirror away from the wall to get it into the right lighting.
Better still, you can get two-sided, magnified and light-up pivot mirrors to suit your needs.
Why not bring your mirror into the 21st century with a Bluetooth mirror?
These reflect the modern times we live in and can also have a number of huge benefits. For example, you can sync these with your phone or music device to listen to your favourite tunes while you’re in the bathroom.
This means you can listen to music or the radio as you get ready for work or a night out or while you relax in the bath - all without the risk of getting your phone or speaker wet.
Plus, you can also get your Bluetooth mirrors fitted with LED lights that can be set to mimic natural light and can be controlled from your phone.
Bathroom mirrors don’t just have to be practical; they can also be used to make a statement. From art-deco pieces to large rustic wooden frames, you can find a statement mirror that adds to the overall decor of your bathroom and matches the style of your home as a whole.
These can be big or small, depending on the size of your room and whether you intend on using these on a daily basis. Either way, you can choose something that reflects your personal style and catches your guest’s eye every time they enter your bathroom.
Finally, if you’re hoping to add light to your room whilst also maximising your space, mirrored bathroom cabinets can be the perfect solution.
These multi-functioning cabinets not only offer valuable storage space for your toiletries and belongings but they can also be used for your vanity and healthcare regime.
So why not combine practicality with style and storage in one single attractive design?

]]>But did you know that bathrooms are getting smarter too? Using these devices, you can turn your bathroom into an interactive, fun and practical place to be.
So if the time has come to give your bathroom a makeover and you're hoping to take it to the next level, here are seven pieces of smart technology you should consider.
Do you like to watch TV as you're getting ready for work? Or perhaps you love watching your favourite shows on your laptop as you soak in the bath? Well, now you don't have to miss a thing with a waterproof bathroom mirror TV.
When it’s switched off it can be used (and looks like) a normal illuminated mirror. But switch it on and you can watch all your favourite shows whilst showering, bathing or brushing your teeth. Plus, it’s mounted to the wall so it doesn't take up any extra space.
If you prefer to listen to music in the bathroom, we’ve got that covered too. Unleash your inner-star as you sing in the shower, without all the hassle. Gone are the days of having to take your radio or speaker into the bathroom with you.
New smart shower heads with Bluetooth and built-in speakers do all the hard work for you. So you can listen to your favourite playlists as you get ready for work or unwind after a busy day.
Want to ask Alexa what the traffic is doing as you get ready for work? No problem! Voice-controlled ceiling speakers allow you to check the weather, listen to music and even check for Facebook notifications while you shower. So you can save yourself precious time spent fiddling about with your phone or laptop and let your smart speakers do it all for you.
And as these are placed in the ceiling, they don't take up space and can blend in seamlessly with the style of your bathroom.
You can personalise your shower experience with a programmable shower that lets you control the temperature, volume of water and length of your shower through a digital touchscreen or audio command. So you can get yourself off to work (or bed) in good time by pre-setting the time of your shower.
Plus, depending on what other gadgets you have in your smart bathroom, some may also allow you to control the lighting from your shower too.
Why just have a normal bath when you can add a whirlpool system for ultimate relaxation? These built-in whirlpool systems make gentle bubbles as you bathe and are designed to massage and relax you. Perfect after a long day. You can also get mood effect lighting to complement your whirlpool tub so you really will feel like you're at the spa.
If you're wanting to be a little more eco-friendly (or just save on your water bill), there is even a smart device to help you save water. The device is called a Waterpebble and can be used in your shower to monitor the amount of water that goes down the drain, using your first shower as a benchmark.
Then, progressively, the time for each shower you have is reduced slightly helping to save water without really having to think about it. You can reset the device at any point.
Finally, gone are the days of sitting on a cold seat when you get up for the loo in the middle of the night. You can now live your life in true luxury with a smart toilet seat warmer. Most of these will have adjustable settings so you can choose the temperature that suits you. There are even some that spray and clean themselves afterwards so you’ve always got a clean seat.
]]>They are the place where we prepare ourselves for the day ahead and where we unwind again at the end of the day. This is why creating a relaxing oasis is crucial. And even better, a great bathroom adds value to your home should you ever want to sell!
But how do you go about transforming your bathroom and creating a haven for yourself and your family?
Well, it can be pretty straight forward, even just one statement piece can transform the look and feel of the whole room. But it’s up to you whether you want to do something a little extra like retiling and wallpaper or just keep it simple by adding a unique mirror or light hanging.
Either way, if you're looking for inspiration to take your bathroom to the next level, you’ve come to the right place. Below, we’ve pulled together a list of seven ways you can make a statement in your bathroom.
Wallpaper might not be something you’ve ever really considered for your bathroom but a bold print can be all it takes to transform your space.
Whether you opt for patterns, bright colours, floral designs or even a moody marble effect, choose one wall to make a statement for you.
Just be sure you have good ventilation in the room and that your walls are going to be able to withstand the moisture and steam from the shower.
Mirrors are not only for checking yourself out as you get ready, they can also help to open up the space - which is great news if you have a small bathroom.
What’s more, adding a uniquely shaped or beautifully designed mirror can add a real centrepiece to the room. It can be a point of interest that draws the eye.
Plus, it’s so simple and effective so you don't have to put in hours of redecoration or refurbishment to make the room feel new. You just choose and add your beautiful new mirror!
The lighting in your bathroom is important, it can make or break the room. After all, you don't want it to be too dim but you certainly don't want any unflattering bright white light.
But lighting can also be so much more than just a way to set the mood.
Whether you want to create the feel of a spa with an illuminated mirror and lamps or whether you want to add a big and extravagant light fitting that grabs your attention, your light fittings can be the perfect way to make a big statement in your bathroom.
Much like adding a unique mirror, an eye-catching piece of artwork can add personality, colour and character to your bathroom with relatively little work. So choose something big, small, bold or beautiful, just make sure it grabs attention and that it shows off your personality.
Is it time you upgraded your bathtub? Or perhaps you currently don't have one at all and you want somewhere to relax at the end of the day?
Either way, why not make a statement with something free-standing, brightly coloured or even invest in a spa bath. This can be one of the most relaxing places in your home, so treat yourself to a bath that not only makes a statement but that makes you feel relaxed and happy.
If you're concerned about how wallpaper would fair in your bathroom, then why not consider some bold, statement tiles instead? You could tile one wall, the whole bathroom or perhaps just add an intriguing border all the way around.
There are so many different tiles out there that you can choose from, you're sure to find something that suits your style and personality, all whilst adding a splash of colour and beauty to your bathroom.
And hey, these don't just have to be your average square tiles either! You could go completely out of the box and choose something like hexagon tiles that mimic the pattern of a beehive.
And last but not least, why buy a run of the mill bathmat when you can add character and style to your bathroom floor with a standout rug.
Be sure to choose something water-friendly that isn't going to be damaged by moisture but other than that there are so many options out there for you to choose from!
From bamboo to super fluffy rugs, you can add a splash of colour or choose a pattern that adds some excitement to the room.
]]>However, it is well known that mirrors can require a bit of maintenance. They can become cloudy from steam after showers, and they can need a good clean after your family has been brushing their teeth in front of it, or applying makeup. It’s only natural that product starts to build up on the mirror and a clean is required.
However, a bathroom mirror can be surprisingly tricky to return to its original shine. We’ve all tried to wipe down the bathroom mirror after a steamy shower, only to discover streaks all over it when we return. There is nothing more annoying than buffing away at your mirror, thinking it will be clean, but always stepping back to find streaks! Here at Mood Living, we take great pride in our pristine mirrors, and for that reason we are sharing this blog with helpful tips on how to clean your bathroom mirror efficiently.
To start with, there are a few things that you should avoid. These include wiping down your mirror when it is steamed up after a shower: the steam may seem like a great surface for wiping, but it can actually lead to more streaks than before. Avoid using paper towels, as these can leave residue behind, giving a dusty look to your mirror that will require further cleaning. Try also not to use general cleaning products that are not specifically for use on mirrors. Just as you use specific products for other areas in your home, make sure you are equally careful with what you spray on your bathroom mirrors.
You can easily find cleaning products specifically for mirror-cleaning in your cleaning products aisle at the grocery store. The main component in the majority of these products will be white vinegar. You can also find in this aisle an assortment of dusters and cloths. The best cloth to use for cleaning a mirror is a microfibre cloth.
The first step in cleaning your bathroom mirror thoroughly, before you even start to look at any streakiness, is to deal with obvious build-up of product and grime. This includes everything from toothpaste to hairspray that has landed on the mirror. Use a cotton pad to gently scrub away these bits of dirt so you have a smooth surface before you start buffing.
When you’re ready to start, spray down your mirror with your cleaning product. Use only a light mist and avoid standing too close to the mirror when spraying as this will only cause the product to layer too heavily and start dripping. Once your mirror has been sprayed, start in the top left corner and swipe to the top right. You want to start at the top so any product that runs downwards will be caught as you work your way down the mirror. Move back and forth, left to right, slowly buffing your way down the mirror.
Once you have finished, take a step back from the mirror and view it from a couple of angles to see if you can spot any streaks. If you can, buff them out in a similar back and forth motion to remove the streak – don’t just scrub at that one area as you may only make the streak bigger. Never wipe down your mirror in a circular motion, and never let cleaning product dry on your mirror, you should always buff it out straight away.
We hope these cleaning tips of using a good mirror-cleaning product and zig zag motion help keep your bathroom mirror clean and streak free no matter how long your shower is, or how close someone brushes to the mirror. If you need any further tips or guidance on keeping your mirrors and cabinets in top condition, don’t hesitate to contact us through our Mood Living website.
]]>The first thing to consider before purchasing a bathroom cabinet is SIZE. The size of your bathroom is going to affect the size of cabinet you can purchase. If you have a small bathroom, a large cabinet is not only going to overcrowd the room and make it look cluttered and even smaller than it already is, but you may even have difficulty finding somewhere to place it. Placement of bathroom cabinets needs to be considered carefully to ensure it does not block the opening of any doors or cause any annoying obstacles within the room, so consider door swing carefully before the cabinet is permanently placed anywhere.
Larger bathrooms have to consider placement carefully also but have more room to work with and cabinet size tends to cause less problems. Wall mounted cabinets can be hung in most locations, but we usually recommend over the bathroom sink as this is where you carry out most bathroom rituals. To help you settle on size, consider what your cabinet is going to be used for. Often customers reach for the largest cabinet that will fit in their bathroom: but if you are just going to be using it for toothbrushes and a few bottles, choosing a very large cabinet will be superfluous to your needs.
This leads us to consider FUNCTIONALITY. Our Mood Living cabinets come with a range of additional features to ensure your bathroom experience is as efficient as possible. This includes demister pads that keep your mirror steam free no matter how long your shower is, Bluetooth to allow you to play your music, and LED lighting to allow you a crystal-clear reflection no matter what time of day it is. It is important to consider all these features in a mirror to know what will benefit you most and could transform your bathroom experience. Functionality also goes hand in hand with style: our LED lighting comes in a range of designs from overhead, to all-round, and decorative, allowing you to choose the cabinet that looks and fits best to your current bathroom theme.
The third factor to consider for your new bathroom cabinet is QUALITY. All of our Mood Living products are manufactured to BS standard and come with a guarantee, so you can be assured that your purchase is of the highest quality and you’ll love it for years to come. A bathroom cabinet needs to be the perfect storage solution, able to handle everything from cosmetics to medicines, and anything in-between. A Mood Living cabinet is strong and sturdy, able to hold whatever is needed of it. It is also easy to mount upon your bathroom wall, with each cabinet coming with a simple step-by-step guide.
The final factor to consider is BUDGET. Once you begin searching for your perfect bathroom cabinet, it is important to set aside a budget so you know what your options are. The size of the cabinet you choose will affect price, as will the additional features you may want to choose from. To avoid any unwanted surprises, it is best to filter your search by price first, to ensure that all options shown are within your set budget.
We hope these four factors will help you in your search for finding the perfect cabinet for your bathroom. If you have any further queries about what to consider when looking for a bathroom cabinet, or any product-specific questions, don’t hesitate to contact us through our Mood Living website. Our experts will be more than happy to answer any queries you may have.
]]>One of the primary considerations for choosing a mirror should be the size that you need. If you have a very large bathroom, not only can you choose a mirror of any size, but you could even choose multiple mirrors to hang as a feature on a wall. If you have a smaller bathroom you will need to choose a mirror that is big enough while simultaneously not making the small room look overcrowded. If you are placing your mirror above a vanity unit, it is important that you keep the size in line with the existing unit. A mirror should not be wider than the existing unit and cause it to be thrown out of proportion – similarly, it should not appear shrunken compared to the existing unit. Try to also consider who will be using your mirror within the home and make sure the mirror is an appropriate size and at an appropriate height for all to use.
Mirror shapes are another important consideration. Do you choose square? Rectangle? Round? There are a lot of options to choose from and can be influenced by different factors in your bathroom. In a small bathroom you may be limited with your choice of size, but you can show your style through your shape of mirror. As we mentioned above with mirror sizes, bigger bathrooms can choose to have more than one mirror and make a statement feature on one of their walls. The shape of your mirror may also be influenced by the shape and size of other items in your room such as vanity units or cabinets. You may want to keep the shape in style with these features – or you may want to choose something completely different to stand out.
Did you know that our Mood Living mirrors can also come with lighting features? There are a range of options from overhead lighting, to all-around lighting, to decorative lighting. All of our lighting options are designed to be as natural as possible and emulate the light that you would receive from the sun. This means that we use warm white light and not blue light. Warm white light is proven to have many benefits including boosting of energy, boosting of mood and the reduction of headaches and eyestrain. It is very important to have good lighting in your bathroom, especially if you have a small window or if your house is facing a direction that doesn’t get much sunlight. With the addition of our LED mirrors, you will be able to carry out tasks with precision at any time of day.
You can choose additional features in our mirrors aside from just lighting. Our Bluetooth speakers will allow you to listen to your favourite music while keeping your mobile safe from water damage, and our demister pads will keep your mirror steam free – so you can stay in the shower as long as your like and still have a clear reflection when you step out.
It’s easy to overlook a mirror in a bathroom: we take them for granted and often don’t consider the benefits and style that they bring to a room. However, take the mirror away and we quickly realise how essential it was and just how often we looked in it. Here at Mood Living we have a fantastic selection of illuminated mirrors of all shapes, sizes and styles. You can browse on our website to see images of our range, along with product descriptions that will let you know each of the features they come with. All our products come with aftercare guarantees and are manufactured to BS standard. However, if you have any queries about any of our products or would like to know more, don’t hesitate to visit the contact section of our website and leave us a message. We would love to hear from you and one of our experts will respond to any questions you have.
]]>One of the primary benefits of warm white light is the fact it will not hinder the production of melatonin. Therefore, you can get ready for bed under the glow of our LED mirrors and carry out your night-time ablutions without negatively impacting the quality of your sleep that night. Our LED mirrors and cabinets come with a variety of lighting options: you can choose from all-around lighting, overhead lighting, or decorative lighting. Whichever option you choose, you are guaranteed all the benefits that come with warm white lights.
One of the major benefits of warm white light, is that it has been proven to alleviate the symptoms of S.A.D and other types of depression. This is because warm white light is designed to emulate the light of the sun, which is a great source of vitamin D and is proven to boost our mood and increase energy levels. This means you are given a comforting and gentle light before bed that will not affect your sleep, but equally you are not given a harsh morning glare that will put you in a bad mood for the day!
Warm white light has minimal side effects, and you will find that no matter how long you spend getting ready in front of this light that your eyes won’t be strained, and you won’t get a headache from glare or harshness. It is important to us also that your Mood Living mirror is highly effective. So even though this light is much more gentle than blue light, you’ll still have a bright enough glow to be able to carry out your morning and night-time rituals with perfect precision.
Our warm white lights are available with a range of Mood Living products. Our illuminated mirrors come with a range of lighting options, and we can also provide LED illuminated cabinets. Both of these products are an excellent way to streamline your bathroom by combining the need for storage, reflection and good lighting. Our products are designed to make bathrooms work harder and more efficiently so you can have the best experience possible. The introduction of warm white lights to our products add to this by not only impacting efficiency, but also having an impact on mood and health with the removal of blue light.
If you have any queries on blue and white light, our experts are more than happy to answer your questions. We are also here to answer any questions you may have on the range of products we have at Mood Living, whether that is our mirrors, our illuminated cabinets, or any of the other products that we stock. You’ll find an in-depth description of each of our products on their individual pages, however if you need more information, just head over to our contact page to leave us a message and we’ll get back to you with the details you need.
Here at Mood Living, we provide not only LED illuminated mirrors, but bathroom cabinets fitted with LED lights also. No matter what space you are looking to fit them in, or what requirements you have of them – we’re sure we have the size and design of mirror or cabinet you are looking for.
Shape and size are one of the primary benefits of LED mirrors. The variety of sizes and different shapes means that you can mount them in just about any location and in any way: whether you need a small mirror for a petite bathroom that is tight for space, or a large mirror as a big statement piece, we know we’ve got the style for you.
Our LED mirrors aren’t just for seeing your reflection in, we also like to add additional features that streamline your morning routine and make your bathroom experience a joy. One such feature is our Bluetooth speakers that allow you to connect your audio device up to your mirror wirelessly. This feature comes with the huge benefit of being able to listen to your music or the radio while you are in the shower without having to worry about water damage to your device.
Bluetooth speakers aren’t the only nifty feature our mirrors come with. We also fit demister pads on our LED mirrors and cabinets. These pads prevent your mirror from steaming over while you’re in the shower, so you can take a long hot shower without worrying about not being able to see your reflection when you get out. This feature is perfect for mornings before work when you need to start applying makeup or fixing your hair as soon as you hop out of the shower and need a crystal-clear reflection.
Our LED lighted mirrors are incredibly easy to use and as a result are beneficial for the whole family. By simply swiping your hand along the mirror and activating the sensor you will have instant access to wonderful lighting. The LED lighting is quiet to turn on and it does not flood the room with light like an overhead light would: instead, it illuminates just the space that you need. So, whether you are getting ready for work in the morning, or you have a teenager coming in late at night, these mirrors make it easy for everyone to have access to quick and easy light without waking up the rest of the house.
The LED lights on our mirrors are designed to emulate natural lighting and are therefore not too harsh on the eye. They create a beautiful ambience, and work wonderfully for turning off the overhead light, turning on some music and running yourself a hot bath to relax in. The beauty of the lighting being all around the mirror also means that when you look at your reflection no shadows are cast, allowing you perfect precision.
Not long after having your LED mirror fitted, you will start to notice a difference in your energy bills. LED lights are much more efficient than regular bulbs, lasting much longer and not only saving you money on purchasing replacement bulbs, but also lowering the amount of energy required for them to work and reducing your bills.
Of course, it’s not just our features that make our mirrors great, we also think they look fantastic. In fact, we are so sure that you’ll love your LED mirror and all the benefits that it comes with that we offer a guarantee with each one. We also provide aftersales care to maintain your purchase in the tip-top condition it arrived in.
If you have any questions about LED mirrors, any of their features – or questions about any Mood Living products, don’t hesitate to get in touch. You can contact us via our website: we’d love to hear from you!
]]>One of the most interesting trends to follow is that of bathrooms. The bathroom is perhaps one of the most hard-working rooms of the house: used for storing a multitude of items, a place for washing, a place for getting ready, one of the first rooms we enter in the morning and one of the last at night. It makes sense therefore that people want not only to make this room as efficient as possible, but also ensure that it looks aesthetically pleasing too.
With that in mind, here are the top 5 bathroom trends we predict for 2021:
Keeping a bathroom clean and tidy is no small feat. From towels, to toiletries and even medication, every household uses their bathroom storage to the max. As a result, all too often our bathrooms become cluttered and messy as bottles line up on shelves and items are placed around the room. Here at Mood Living, we’ve been telling our customers about the benefits of bathroom cabinets for quite some time now. Available in a range of sizes and designs, these are a great way to allow a more minimal look in your home and to tidy away any items that are making this room look cluttered.
Great lighting is essential in any bathroom. This room is typically used for getting ready: whether that is applying makeup, shaving, doing your hair, or checking your outfit. All of these tasks rely on exceptional lighting to avoid any scares when entering natural sunlight outside! Our LED mirrors and cabinets offer a range of lighting styles to fit your needs best, from all around lighting, to overhead lighting, or decorative lighting.
Technology is here to make our lives easier and bringing technology into the bathroom is all about streamlining our routines. A selection of our mirrors come with additional features that we know people will love having in their bathroom. One of these top features are our Bluetooth speakers which allow you to safely listen to your music or the radio without worrying about water damage.
Keeping with the minimalism trend, bathrooms in 2021 are becoming brighter and more spacious. However, if you do not have a large bathroom, there are other ways to follow that trend. That is: through colour. Whites, creams and other bright and clean tones are perfect for opening up a bathroom space. The light is easily reflected and unlike patterns which can cause a room to appear too busy, the clean walls allow even the smallest of bathrooms to look that bit bigger and brighter.
To make any room appear bigger, it is necessary to remove clutter and allow the space to open up. However, it is important that your room still maintains that ‘wow’ factor. For this, we recommend a statement piece to draw the eye to. It could be one wall that has a pattern on it while the others remain plain. Or, you could add a statement piece of art or a beautiful mirror. Our Hollywood Mirrors could be just the item you are looking for: with all around lighting and a style that radiates glamour, we’re sure you’ll love them.
Are you planning to update your bathroom this year with one of the above trends? Or maybe one of these trends have caught your attention and inspired you? However you feel about your bathroom, whether you want to make a small tweak or totally transform it, we’re sure you can find the inspiration you need at Mood Living. All of our products are made to BS standard, come with aftersales care and a guarantee, as we’re confident you’ll not only love our products upon purchase – but you’ll keep loving them for years to come!
If you’ve any questions about any of our products or their features, don’t hesitate to click on the contact section of our website. Our team will be more than happy to help.
To begin, each of our bathroom cabinets come with an easy step-by-step guide on how to install them. Every cabinet is manufactured to BS standard and is therefore guaranteed to be a sturdy and durable cabinet. However, if you are concerned about hanging a large cabinet by yourself, feel free to contact a professional to give you a hand. They will be able to assess if the wall you have chosen is strong enough to support the weight of a cabinet and if you have chosen LED lighting, they will be able to connect it to your electricity supply.
The primary function of bathroom cabinets is of course storage. The look of your bathroom can be transformed not only by the style of a bathroom cabinet, but the minimalist look it can give the rest of your room. By tidying away any clutter lying around your bathroom, the room is going to appear much more spacious. Bathroom cabinets can be used to store a number of items from toothbrushes and toothpaste, to medicine bottles, and even bathroom towels. Depending on the size of your cabinet, you may be able to store a variety of items. Some bathrooms even have more than one bathroom cabinet – each with different storage purposes. However, we would argue to choose carefully not only on the number of cabinets you have, but also the size of cabinets you purchase. While the purpose of a cabinet is to make your bathroom appear more spacious by clearing away clutter, it can very easily have the opposite effect if your small bathroom becomes overcrowded by a cabinet that is too big. To optimise the space in your bathroom, we recommend hanging your mirrored cabinet above the bathroom sink so it can double as both your bathroom storage and your bathroom mirror.
Here at Mood Living, we want our customers to get as much as possible from our products. This not only means extra storage and easy-to-install fittings, but other features that will make your bathroom experience that much more enjoyable. All of our cabinets are illuminated, meaning you can turn on lighting around your mirror with a simple handsfree sensor. The lighting is different across all our cabinets so you can find something that is perfect for you, whether that is all around lighting or just overhead. Lighting on cabinets is not only great for applying makeup and anything that requires being close to the mirror, but it is also perfect for increasing the lighting in your bathroom on dark evening and mornings, as well as the perfect solution for accessing your cabinet during the night without startling yourself by turning on the main overhead light.
Another excellent feature of Mood Living bathroom cabinets that will enhance your bathroom are the wire-free demister pads. These nifty pads are installed in our bathroom cabinets to keep your mirror steam free from morning to night. This means you can stay in your hot shower as long as you like without having to worry about not being able to use your mirror afterwards. It’s little features like this that can be surprisingly useful and can help streamline your mornings without worrying about bothersome things like clouded over mirrors.
Our range of cabinets at Mood Living covers quite a few styles, shapes and sizes, so there is lots to choose from to suit every personality. However, if you need a little guidance on where to start – that’s what we are here for! Feel free to drop us a message on our contact page with any queries you may have about cabinets or any of our other products. Our team are on hand and ready to help you with any questions you may have.
]]>One of the perhaps most obvious benefits of a bathroom mirror is style. Usually, some amount of time and effort is put into picking a bathroom mirror because not only is the reflection important, but we want the mirror to look pleasing in our homes also. Here at Mood Living we take pride in our stunning selection of bathroom mirrors that come in a range of shapes, styles, and can even come with LED lighting. It is important to us that our customers find the mirror that works best for their home and meets their style expectations.
Mirrors are not only great for showing you your own reflection – they are great for reflecting light also. If your bathroom doesn’t get a lot of daylight, having a large mirror can make a big difference as it will bounce whatever light the room has access to around the room and make it seem much brighter and more spacious than it actually is. If this is the effect you want from your bathroom mirror, make sure to hang it on the wall opposite the window so it can reflect as much light as possible.
Mirrors don’t have to be just…mirrors. You can also purchase mirrored cabinets. Our mirrored cabinets at Mood Living are very popular and are available in a range of sizes. These are perfect for tidying up your bathroom by moving away any clutter to behind closed doors. Store your toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, and any number of bathroom items in your bathroom cabinet to keep them all in a safe and organised space while making your bathroom look much tidier.
Just as a mirror can give a bathroom a brighter look by reflecting light, so too can it create the illusion of having more space. The bigger the mirror, the more dramatic this effect is. If you have a tiny bathroom in your home, utilising large mirrors is a great way to make this area feel much more spacious.
Have you ever considered a bathroom mirror to be so stylish, it could also double as a piece of artwork? Finding artwork for bathrooms can be tricky, but we think that a mirror when styled correctly can work as an excellent artwork addition to any bathroom. You can choose a mirror with a decorative frame, a large mirror in a unique shape, or you could even curate an area made of several small mirrors. Your options are endless.
No matter what you want from a mirror, we are sure we can provide you with an option that meets all your needs. Here at Mood Living, all of our mirrors are BS standard, coming with guarantees and aftersales care. It’s vital to us that when our customers purchase one of our mirrors (or any of our products) that they love it for years to come.
If you have any questions about bathroom mirrors, whether it is about sizes and styles, or about additional features such as our LED lights or demister pads, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Our website has lots of information available for you to browse, but if you can’t find what you are looking for, just head to our contact section. Our experts are always on hand to help and ready to answer any of your questions!
]]>When it comes to bathroom mirrors, there are 3 types of lighting: task, accent and decorative. Each provides a different kind of light and helps you carry out different activities. For example, task lighting, as the name might suggest, is designed specifically to allow you to carry out tasks. This is a bright all-around light that provides precision for bathroom tasks. These jobs may include shaving or applying makeup: both of which require good lighting. Mirrors with task lighting are usually illuminated the entire way around the mirror, providing even illumination.
Accent lighting is another type of bathroom lighting. This does not provide as much illumination as task lighting but rather used to provide ‘accents’ of light. When your room is dimly lit or in darkness, you may wish to draw attention to some features. Perhaps you have a lovely picture frame hung on the wall, shelving with decorative (or practical) items lined up on it, or perhaps you want attention drawn to your mirror. Accent lighting is usually a bar of light placed directly above the desired object to illuminate it and thus ‘accent’ it. For mirrors, this can be particularly useful during the night if you wish to use the bathroom without dazzling yourself by turning on the main overhead lighting. Your illuminated mirror can simply be switched on via the sensor to provide soft lighting for your room and allow you to see what you are doing.
Finally, the last type of lighting often sought after for bathrooms is decorative lighting. This is a type of lighting that we absolutely love at Mood Living as it allows us to let our creativity run free. From bars running top to bottom of our mirrors, to small dots of light, the purpose of decorative lighting is not just to illuminate, but for a beautiful design feature. Mirrors with decorative lighting create a sense of style within the bathroom and make your mirror truly stand out.
While we provide a number of products at Mood Living, bathroom mirrors and cabinets are our speciality, and we like to think we know a thing or two on transforming your bathroom space into an area you love. Mirrors and lighting are two of the most important features of a bathroom, and that is why we have incorporated these two features together in our illuminated mirrors. On dark winter mornings, our mirrors are here to provide light in the way you need it most: whether that is task lighting, accent lighting, or even if it is just decorative lighting that is required. A lot of effort goes into each and every one of our products to make them a statement piece within your home. Each mirror is made to BS standard and comes with a guarantee and aftersales care, meaning you can purchase with the peace of mind that this product is going to last you for years to come.
A statement bathroom mirror with great lighting is a wonderful way to add value to your home and bathroom. Available in a variety of shapes, we’ve no doubt that you will discover one that is the perfect fit. You’ll also find our mirrors to be energy efficient and helpful in cutting back your electricity costs as they are always fitted with LED lights, which last much longer than traditional bulbs, meaning you won’t have to replace them as frequently.
Our mirrors all come with helpful fitting guides, and if you have any questions pre-purchase, don’t be afraid to contact a member of our team. Whether you have questions on sizes and dimensions, additional features (did you know some mirrors have demister pads!), or delivery questions, we are here to help!
The perfect mirror and light fixture can transform your bathroom. It can enhance the beauty of larger spaces and act as a focal point, it can create the illusion of more room in smaller bathrooms, and as winter creeps in, an illuminated mirror is the perfect new purchase to light up your mornings and evenings. So, take a browse through our range to find the perfect illuminated mirror for your home.
]]>It’s natural in a lot of houses that the bathroom ends up being one of the smallest rooms in the house. However, this can become a tiresome room to keep tidy and decluttered when you are struggling for space. Therefore, we want to talk about how to make a small bathroom look bigger with our top tips. Before we start it is important to mention that all of our products are built to British Standard and come with a guarantee and aftersales care. We know you’ll love all our products and we’re committed to bringing you the best service long after you have purchased.
Your bathroom is going to look increasingly small and cramped if you are covering all the floor space with your storage units. Our bathroom mirrored cabinets at Mood Living effectively clear up floor space by beautifully hanging from any wall in your bathroom. They each come with a guide to help you affix it, however we always recommend getting a professional to look after hanging your cabinet so they can ensure the wall is strong enough to support the weight.
Much like freeing up floor space can create the illusion of a bigger bathroom, so too can removal of clutter. The less items that are lying about your bathroom, whether that is on the floor or lined up on shelves, it is going to elude to a much larger space. This is where our illuminated cabinets come in very useful again. Simply hide away all your products behind closed doors in your Mood Living mirrored cabinet to streamline your bathroom and give it a sleek minimalist look. Our mirrored cabinets come with hidden little features as well, such as shaver sockets. This means you can hide your toothbrushes and shavers away even when they need charging, so they are always ready to use.
The more natural light is streaming through a bathroom, the larger it is going to seem. Here at Mood Living we can help with this issue with our mirrored cabinets and our bathroom mirrors. Whether you already have access to lots of natural light, or there is only a small glimmer shining through, a mirror can enhance what you have to work with. By hanging a mirror in your bathroom, you are not only installing a vital bathroom tool, but by hanging it in the right location, you can reflect light throughout your space, giving the illusion of a brighter and larger bathroom. Our bathroom cabinets come with stunning mirrored doors, combining both the need for a cabinet and a mirror – further streamlining your bathroom and reducing your need for other products. However, if you already have a cabinet you love, our Mood Living bathroom mirrors could be just the product you need. Coming in all sorts of beautiful styles, shapes and sizes, as well as the option to have LED lights, these mirrors are perfect for any bathroom.
Dark colours are going to take away from the boosting of natural light we have been trying to create with the addition of mirrors, so try and keep the colour scheme of your bathroom as light and bright as possible. Try to avoid clashing colour schemes also, as the one colour all over your space will further aid the idea the room is larger than it actually is. Using lots of colour only divides up your space and makes it appear cluttered before you even begin installing any products. Whites and creams are some of the best colours you can choose when designing your bathroom as they aid in reflecting light and creating a bright open space. Don’t forget to take this into account on all your walls – including the ceiling and floor. If you choose to tile your bathroom, choose tiles a similar colour to the paint to keep your colour scheme constant.
By having an area in your bathroom that the eye is immediately drawn to, you are going to make the rest of you bathroom look bigger. If you are not into monochrome style or keeping your bathroom all the one colour, we suggest using colour to create a focal point. This could mean painting one wall a different colour from the rest or using a bright colour for your shower curtains to draw attention. Your bathroom mirror could also be your stand out feature: our LED mirrors are not only stylish but the light they radiate is bright and natural-looking, illuminating your bathroom and creating the perfect reflection no matter what time of day you are using it.
Working with a small space can often prove difficult, but we hope these useful tips have proved helpful and given you some ideas on how to optimise the space you have to work with. Natural light is of utmost importance, and the correct use of storage can transform your bathroom. If you have any queries on any of our products or on how we can help you make the most of your bathroom space, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. You can contact us through our website on our contact page; one of our team will be in touch and we’ll be more than happy to answer any questions that you might have.
]]>Firstly, you might be wondering – why bother with fireside accessories? To start with, they are an easy way to keep your fireplace looking clean and tidy. As mentioned above, it is all too easy for fireplaces to get dusty and messy, but with some useful fireplace accessories, this problem can be easily resolved. A further benefit of fireplace accessories is that they can add value to your home. By merely having a fireplace in your house it is going to add value to your home if you plan on selling it, as a fireplace is a highly sought-after feature. However, having a beautiful and well-maintained fireplace is even better. If you are selling your home during the warmer months and people are viewing your home when the fireplace in not in action, it is important that it is still looking beautiful. This can be achieved with Mood Living fireplace accessories.
Just as with our mirrors and cabinets, all fireside accessories by Mood Living are manufactured to British Standard, come with aftersales care, and each item comes with a guarantee. We know you will love the items we have to offer and how they can transform the look of your living room.
One of our most popular fireplace accessories at Mood Living is our fire guard. Available in a couple of styles and sizes, these guards can come with floor and wall fixings for extra stability. Of course, one of the most important features of a fire guard is safety, and this was at the forefront of our mind when designing. Our fire guards come with a fine mesh to prevent ash from damaging your upholstery and to prevent stray sparks from touching fabrics that could then catch fire. The guards are also opened and closed with a safety latch on the back to prevent little hands from getting in dangers way. The door is also secured by magnets, meaning it is less likely to inadvertently swing open. Fixings and instructions are supplied with our fireguards to ensure they are fitted correctly. As with all Mood Living products, it is designed not just to be practical, but a beautiful feature within your home. Our subtle but elegant design does not detract from the beauty of your fireplace or stove but enhances this attractive feature while also promoting safety.
If you don’t have a traditional fireplace and have instead invested in a modern stove, we can provide alternative accessories for this feature. Our Mood Living stove hearth saver is the perfect companion for your stove and to protect the surrounding area. It is important to be careful when loading and unloading your stove as ashes and cinders can fall out and damage your hearth. This is where our hearth saver comes in. Simply place it on the floor in front of your stove and it will catch any debris that calls out, preventing damage and also making cleaning the surrounding area that much simpler. Coming up to the cold and wintery months, this makes an excellent gift!
So, as winter is now here, it’s time to stop using that old grubby bucket to collect your coal, and to get rid of that tarnished fire guard you’ve had for too many years, and take a scroll on the Mood Living website. No matter what style you are looking to accommodate, from traditional to contemporary, we’ve got the accessories to compliment your home.
Caution is always advised around fires, even with safety measures in place. Never leave small children unattended near fireplaces, stoves or hot surfaces. If you have any questions on any of our fireside products, how they are fitted, or questions on sizes or styles, don’t hesitate to contact us through our website. We are happy to answer any of your questions and point you in the right direction for your fireplace needs.
]]>When it comes to applying makeup, the lighting in a room can make a huge difference. Too harsh a light (or too soft), can cause you to perceive your reflection in a way it will not look once you step outdoors. This means you will end up applying your makeup too thick or in a shade that does not compliment your tone. When applying your makeup, you need a light that is as close to natural outdoor lighting as possible so your makeup has a natural flawless finish. The Hollywood Mirror provides exactly this: soft natural lighting that comes with a dimmer switch, allowing you to adjust the lighting to fit exactly what your dressing room calls for.
Our LED mirror cabinets come with a range of lighting options: just overhead, patterned lighting, and lighting from the sides. All of these prove useful, but when it comes to hair and makeup, it is essential to have an even source of lighting. The Hollywood Mirrors have LED lights evenly spaced the entire way around the mirror frame, providing an all round even glow. No longer will you have to shift angles to find the best lighting: it is always going to be shining at you from the Hollywood Mirror.
Our desktop Hollywood Mirrors have additional sockets to allow you to multitask. USB ports that allow you to charge your phone and plug sockets to allow your hairdryer and straighteners to sit nearby – everything you could need to get ready is right at your fingertips with Hollywood Mirrors. Some of our Hollywood Mirrors even come with Bluetooth Audio, allowing you to listen to your favourite songs while getting ready.
It is well known that LED lights last much longer than traditional light bulbs, so you are guaranteed that the bulbs that come with your Hollywood Mirror are going to last a very long time. (When one does inevitable need to be replaced, we sell bulbs separately, so no need to worry about where to find a replacement!) These LED lights are much more cost-efficient in the long run as you will not be regularly spending money on replacements. As a promise of the Hollywood Mirror longevity, they all come with a guarantee, aftersales care and all meet BS Standard.
Whether you choose a tabletop Hollywood Mirror for your bedroom or dressing room, or whether you choose a bathroom Hollywood Mirror, we have the perfect choice for you. Our Hollywood Mirror range comes with a selection of shapes and sizes to accommodate any home. No matter what you have in mind, you can find it on our website.
All of our mirrors are manufactured to the highest quality to make you feel like a movie star from the comforts of your own home. Our UK based company is able to ship all over the UK, Europe and even worldwide (delivery costs are calculated at checkout). You can view all the mirrors in our Hollywood Mirror range on our website, where you will find detailed descriptions of all the features that come with each mirror.

]]>First up, we must consider the great benefits of having any sort of cabinet in your bathroom. Not only do they come in a range of shapes and sizes that can be made to fit any bathroom size, but they can also be fitted to be either sitting on the floor – or the more popular option of floating above the sink or affixed to the wall elsewhere in the bathroom. Floating bathroom cabinets are perfect for any bathroom as they give the illusion of a much bigger and streamlined room. By removing the clutter from around your bathroom and organising it within your cabinet, your bathroom will instantly become much tidier and organised. If you take a look through our previous blogs, we have written an article on how to make the most of your bathroom cabinet through careful organisation. As always, when it comes to fitting any mirrors or cabinets to walls within your home, we recommend getting a professional to fit it. They will be able to check if the wall is strong enough to support the weight (the last thing we want is a wall cracking, or worse, collapsing!) We also offer an online fitting instruction guide that will provide you with all the information you will need before getting your cabinet or mirror fitted.
Here at Mood Living, we go one step further than just a regular bathroom cabinet. All our bathroom cabinets are illuminated mirror cabinets. We have a huge range of styles, from all around illumination, patterned LED lights, illumination that just comes from the sides, and overhead illumination. No matter what your style, we’ve got you covered.
There are a number of reasons why an illuminated bathroom mirror cabinet is a great addition to your bathroom. Firstly, they provide a great source of soft lighting that imitates natural lighting: meaning on dim mornings or dull afternoons when the sun is not providing enough illumination, you can flick on your mirror lighting to light up your reflection. They are also a wonderful feature to have during the night when you enter the bathroom; rather than turning on the startlingly bright overhead light, use your cabinet light to provide a softer glow that will show you where to go without completely waking you up. Also perfect for rummaging around the interiors of the cabinet without having to turn on the main bathroom light.
Design is not the only option you have when it comes to picking your Mood Living bathroom cabinet. Our cabinets have a range of other features; however, it is important to note that not all of the below features come with every cabinet. If there is a particular additional feature you desire, please check in the product description that the cabinet you are looking at definitely has the feature you are looking for. Some of these features may include:
Wire-free demisters are installed in the mirror keeping it steam-free all day long. This means you can enjoy your shower for as long as you like and as hot as you like, without having to worry about not being able to use the mirror when you step out.
Not only can the colours be changed on some lights, but our standard LED lights on some cabinets can be adjusted for brightness and warmth. So you can choose if you want a cooler light or a warm glow, and how bright you want the lights to be.
We love the shaver sockets that come with our mirror cabinets because they are so discreet. The socket comes within the cabinet, so you can charge your shaver, toothbrush or other electrical items discreetly inside the cabinet so they are ready to use when you need them. The shaver sockets also have a separate on/off switch to the LED lights.
Sing along to your favourite music in the shower without fear of water damage to your electronic devices. You can now link up your phone or other electronic devices via Bluetooth to blast your songs while keeping all devices at a safe distance.
All of our LED mirrors are operated by motion sensors that need just 15cm clearance, making them extremely easy to turn on and off. All cabinets are sturdy and able to hold a wide variety of products from makeup to medicine. You will find that the exterior also has cushioned door stoppers for extra protection and noise reduction as well.

]]>Hollywood mirrors are an iconic feature, having gotten their name from the studios of Hollywood, they are easily recognisable in any setting. Of course, there is a reason why they first became so popular in Hollywood: not only do they look fantastic, but their all-round lighting creates the perfect soft indoor light for easily and accurately applying makeup. So why not give your bedroom or dressing room some glitz and glamour with our stunning Hollywood Mirrors range. They are hugely popular and look great in any home.
Hollywood mirrors were ground-breaking for the beauty industry as it was a way of emulating natural lighting, and therefore allowing the perfect smooth makeup finish. However, it is not just for their even and natural lighting that they have become so popular. Hollywood Mirrors have a range of benefits from being low energy to being exceptionally durable. We are going to take a look at these benefits in this article and the types of Hollywood Mirror we can offer you here at Mood Living.
There are a range of mirror options we can offer at Mood Living, from Hollywood Mirrors to LED illuminated mirrors. The main difference between LED lights in comparison to regular bulbs is that they do not have filaments in them that burn out, meaning the lifespan is considerably longer (can range from 5,000-10,000 hours more light!) LED lights are also much smaller and therefore can be placed within mirrors. Since your Hollywood Mirrors will then be running off electric and not heat, not only will they last longer but they are much more cost-effective.
There are two types of Hollywood Mirrors:
One of our favourite features of the Hollywood Mirror range here at Mood Living is their versatility. Not only are they well suited for a range of rooms and a range of styles, but the bulbs can easily be dimmed to suit your environment. So, whether you need a softer or a harsher light, the Hollywood Mirror can be adjusted to suit your needs in every situation, whatever they may be.
The fantastic surface area of Hollywood Mirrors is another great benefit. No longer do you need to do your hair and makeup with small handheld mirrors: these mirrors are designed to fit your whole face and head within the frame. You also won’t have to move from room to room trying to find the best lighting, as the Hollywood Mirror brings the best lighting to you. Whether you are getting ready for work in the morning, or heading out at night, this mirror has all the lighting and surface area you need to get you looking your best. Another advantage of having a large surface area on your mirror means that your bedroom will also look and feel bigger as the light is reflected and gives the illusion of more space.
As mentioned above – there are two types of Hollywood Mirror. Wall affixed and tabletop. This means the mirror can be at any height you wish it to be. No more craning your neck to get the perfect angle and lighting, this mirror can be fitted wherever you need it to be, allowing you to sit comfortably and take as long as you need.
All products here at Mood Living are manufactured to a high quality, all meeting BS Standard. We offer aftersales care on all of our products and you’ll find that each comes with a guarantee, as we trust that you will love your Mood Living purchase. None of our mirrors are made with cheap glass that will warp and dull your appearance. This only leads to frustration, longer times to get ready, and ultimately mistakes as you cannot see your reflection correctly. Our Hollywood Mirrors (and all Mood Living mirrors) are made of high quality, silver-backed glass, giving you a crystal-clear reflection. No more squinting and wiping down your mirror, you can expect perfect results every time.
Each of our dressing room Hollywood Mirrors come with a 3-pin plug so you can plug into the mains straight away. Our bathroom Hollywood Mirrors come with a dimmer switch for their hardwired lights. There are also USB sockets built into the dressing room mirrors, and more plug sockets, allowing you to plug in your hair tools as well as mobile devices. No longer do you have to walk from room to room to get different appliances, or plug your devices throughout the room; this convenient set-up allows you to sit comfortably and have all your needs at your fingertips.
We know you will love our Hollywood Mirrors, with LED bulbs built in for all-round illumination, these Hollywood-style accessories are an absolute bedroom essential. If you would like more information on these mirrors, you can check out the full range on our website. If you have any further questions, we would love to help. Just click on the “Contact Us” link on our website and we’ll do our best to answer any questions you may have.
]]>If there is one product that we absolutely love here at Mood Living – it is our LED bathroom mirror cabinets. Why? Their versatility. They come in a range of shapes and sizes, and we love how they immediately declutter the bathroom and give a sense of organisation and tidiness. All our cabinets (and indeed, all of our products) are BS standard, come with after sale care, and we have a product guarantee of 5 years. We know you’ll love our LED mirror cabinets, but sometimes it can be hard to know where to place them in your bathroom and it’s good to have a little inspiration. Therefore in this article, we’re going to look at how to incorporate an LED bathroom cabinet into any size bathroom.
Let’s start by considering the features that can come with your LED mirror cabinet. A sensor switch is used to illuminate the LED lights. This switch is often discreet and built into the bottom or corner of your mirror cabinet and is activated via motion sensor. The LED lights can be built into the bathroom mirror cabinet in a variety of ways. The lights could be framing the entire cabinet, they could be placed in each corner of the cabinet, or the lights could be placed simply at the top of the cabinet to shine down. LED lights create a soft and natural light to simulate daylight and allow you to look most natural in the mirror. These lights are also great for using during the night if you need something from the cabinet without waking the rest of the family. All options provide great illumination and can fit whatever your brightness needs are for your bathroom.
A bathroom cabinet is going to be used to store items that are most commonly found in the bathroom – such as toothbrushes and shavers, both of which can often be electric. That is why at Mood Living we can provide mirror cabinets with shaver sockets discreetly fitted inside. With sockets inside your mirror cabinet, you can keep your shavers, toothbrushes or any other bathroom electricals charging out of sight and ready to use when you need them.
Our illuminated mirrors and cabinets can also come with demister pads which keep your mirror steam free. This is an ever-useful addition to bathroom mirrors, allowing you to enjoy your hot shower for as long as you like and still be greeted by crystal clear mirrors when you step out. For an even more enjoyable shower, our LED illuminated mirrors and cabinets can also come with built in Bluetooth. So now you can enjoy listening to your favourite electronic devices in the bathroom without having to worry about water getting near your phone and potentially damaging it.
While cabinets can be placed anywhere in a bathroom, LED mirror cabinets are most typically wall mounted and placed either above the bathroom sink, or nearby it. The reason for this is thanks to the illuminated bathroom mirror on the cabinet. If you keep your shaver in the cabinet, or your toothbrushes, you will want to have the mirror nearby when using them. This mirror cabinet allows not only easy access to the products you need, but you will also be right in front of the mirror to use them.
Our bathroom cabinets are built to look stylish, so that even on their own they are a great statement and focal point within your bathroom. When redoing your bathroom, it is important to utilize the space you have wisely. The use of an LED mirror cabinet not only combines lighting, a mirror, and storage, but it opens up a lot of space elsewhere in your bathroom that you may have been using to store products, and helps minimalize clutter. One of the biggest reasons that homeowners add cabinets to their bathrooms is to maximise their limited space. Cabinets can be used for anything that is taking up space elsewhere in the room: from towels, to toilet paper, cabinets will declutter your bathroom in an instant.
Streamline your space even further by choosing a style of cabinet that matches the theme of the rest of your bathroom. We have a huge variety of styles that means no bathroom is overlooked. Each home has its own unique style and we aim to please each of our customers. Bathroom cabinets look great on their own but look even better as part of a matching space.
Often customers decide to buy bathroom cabinets as it is an easy and great way to transform your bathroom without having to remodel the entire space. You’ll find that our LED mirror cabinets are great prices also, proving to be much more cost effective that choosing a full-scale remodel which can get extremely pricey extremely fast. If your bathroom is not well lit, if can appear even smaller and more cramped than it actually is. By installing a mirror with lights, the reflecting lights give the appearance of a larger and brighter bathroom and thereby totally transforming your space.
If you would like to see the options we have available, check out the cabinet section of our website which we keep regularly updated with our latest styles. If you’ve any queries, don’t hesitate to get in touch, we would love to help you out.
]]>One of our first reasons for promoting an LED bathroom is their energy efficiency. LED lights last considerably longer than a standard bulb, so much longer that it is highly unlikely you will ever need to change one of these lights. They typically last between 20,000 and 50,000 hours – to put that in context, a regular light bulb will typically last up to 2,000 hours. This means saving money on purchasing bulbs and they are also more energy efficient, lowering your bills in the long run.
Secondly, we love the additional features that come with LED bathroom mirrors. You can have a wall mounted mirror with a heated demister installed. A demister pad allows you to enjoy your shower as long as you wish and still have a clear, steam-free mirror when you step out. Shaver sockets are another optional addition to an LED bathroom mirror or cabinet. These sockets are built within our LED cabinets; they allow you to discreetly charge shavers or toothbrushes where they are stored, meaning they are always ready to use. Bluetooth LED mirrors are also very popular with customers, allowing them to safely listen to their electronics without having to worry about water damages.
Next up, a wonderful benefit of an LED mirror is the effect it has on the entire room. Both mirrors and lighting play an important role in creating space in any room: making it appear not only larger but brighter too. In large spaces, mirrors can be used as a stunning focal point and a piece of interest as well as something practical. For a smaller space, bathroom mirrors with lights can create the feeling of a larger room and really illuminate the space you have to work with if there is not much natural light filtering in. The lights fitted can also be colour changing LEDs to suit the theme of your bathroom, creating a softer light or casting a warm glow in your preferred shade.
Natural sunlight is always the best source of light, however as it is not always available – particularly in winter months, but also in rooms where light does not filter in well – the addition of LED bulbs to your mirror provides better illumination and simulates daylight filtering in, without the harshness of artificial light. That is why LED mirrors are frequently used by professionals when it comes to hair or makeup, as it illuminates the face in the most natural way possible.
The variety of LED mirrors are another great benefit. Gone are the days where one shape and size had to fit all. Depending on the size of your bathroom, your mirror can be any shape you wish and with as much or as little lighting as you desire. We have mirrors with an all-around LED glow, or we can provide you with mirrors where light is only shining from above. Whatever your needs are, we’ve got the mirror to match it.
Finally, LED mirrors do not have to be just mirrors. They can also be LED mirror cabinets. Therefore, a great additional benefit is all the extra and discreet storage space. Not only can you keep beauty products, toiletries or medicines in this space, but the light from the illuminated mirror sheds light on this space even during dimmer evenings, allowing you to rummage around without turning your main ceiling light on.
Here at Mood Living, we are devoted to our customers’ happiness. When you purchase any bathroom LED mirror from Mood Living, we know you’ll absolutely love it because years of learning and dedication have went into our products. All of our LED bathroom mirrors (and all of our other products) are BS standard, and because we want you to love our products as much as we do, we offer complete product aftercare. If you notice any faults with your product within 7 days of receiving it, we will collect it from your home and replace it for you completely free of charge.

We try our best to describe each product as accurately as possible, but if you do not like it, we understand and will replace it for you.

Even for a bathroom mirror, we realise that not everyone needs an LED light function installed. If you happen to be one of the lucky few that has perfect bathroom lighting, a plain mirror is all you need. At Mood Living, we have a huge variety of plain mirrors, all manufactured to the highest quality and designed to be the perfect finishing touch to any room.
For plain mirrors, we offer simple and sophisticated wall mounted mirrors that work well with any bathroom design. However, we also offer plain mirrors with shelves. If you are looking for storage that is quick and easy, integrating it with your mirror is the way to go. In small and overcrowded bathrooms where space is of the essence, we recommend mirrors with shelves as they are beautiful to look at and extremely practical. These shelves can come in the form of a bathroom mirror cabinet, but they can also come as smaller shelves affixed to the exterior of a mirror. We love these shelves as they keep your products tidied away and neat, rather than scattered throughout the room. However, they also give you the option of displaying your products – not only easier to access but a luxurious bathroom display for those who are fond of pretty packaging.
We think you’ll find that all of our eye-catching mirrors bring a touch of elegance to any room, and with silver backed glass you’re guaranteed a durable product that will give you the best reflection possible. We fit all our mirrors with shallow hanging brackets, getting your mirror to hang as close to the wall as possible, giving a sleek and tidy finish to your room.
For sizing, there are a couple of options. For larger rooms, you have the luxury of larger mirrors. A larger mirror can be used to make a room look even bigger; it can become part of the background in the room if you don’t give it a frame as this will only draw attention to it. Our shallow hanging brackets will allow it to fit snug against the wall as if it were part of the wall itself. If placed directly across from a window, this will further enhance natural lighting as the sun will be reflected throughout your space. Smaller mirrors on the other hand are more for accents and features – you can even have more than one grouped together on a wall. A smaller mirror can be used as a focal point in a room, not just as a practical item but a beautiful one that is eye-catching and also a piece of décor.
As you can imagine, plain mirrors come in hundreds of sizes, both as big and as small as you need them, and available in almost any shape, from round to square and everything in between. We have more than three decades of experience in luxury products here at Mood Living and we pride ourselves on customer satisfaction. It comes from years of experience that we have learnt the most loved finishing touches from customers, the attention to detail that makes a difference, and what styles people want to see in their homes.
We would love for you to take a browse on our website and see our wonderful selection of mirrors. We have our entire range online and ready to be delivered anywhere in the UK and Ireland. We’re here to help, so if you have any queries or would love to know anything about any of our mirrors, or any of our other products, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Our experts love what they do and would be happy to discuss which mirror is the perfect fit for your home.
]]>Here at Mood Living, we love LED mirror cabinets, and we have a fantastic range available. However, with so many shapes and sizes on offer, it can be hard to know which one will look right in your bathroom at home. So, in today’s blog we are going to be looking at LED mirror cabinets, the factors you should consider before purchasing, and how to discern which one will look right in your own bathroom.
Not too long ago, the only decision to make when buying a mirror was which style and size you wanted. While these are no longer the only decisions you will have to make – they are still important. If you are lucky enough to have plenty of wall space, a large wall mounted mirror will make a huge difference in your bathroom, making it not only appear more spacious but brighter also. Larger bathrooms can also benefit from wall mounted mirror cabinets. It is important to remember that mirror cabinets do not sit flush to a wall, so it is important to think carefully about purchasing them for smaller bathrooms. If you already have plenty of storage space they can take up unnecessary room, however if you are in need of simplifying your small bathroom, a wall mounted cabinet could be the perfect feature for you. Particularly an LED bathroom cabinet as it can aid in creating a brighter space in a room where light may not filter in very well.
You may not think of mirrors as the height of technology, but you’ll be surprised to see the functions that come along with our mirrored bathroom cabinets. Our LED illuminated cabinets can vary from simple backlighting to colour changing lights to fit to your mood. Demisters are also available and built in – these are the addition to your bathroom cabinet that you never knew you needed, allowing you to shower as long as you like and still have a clear steam-free mirror afterwards. Cabinets with shaver sockets are another favourite of ours, allowing you to keep your electric shaver or electric toothbrush charging safely inside the bathroom cabinet: discreet and easily accessible for whenever you need them. Finally, Bluetooth audio. This fantastic technology will allow you to wirelessly connect your devices in your bathroom, providing a safe way to listen to your music without risk of water damage.
Choosing the perfect LED bathroom mirror cabinet means carefully considering the room you have to work with and taking into account areas such as doors, windows, and what storage space is required. It is also worth noting that LED wall cabinets can be heavy, so mounting on a weak or unsupported wall could only lead to problems. This is why we highly recommend getting a professional to fit your bathroom cabinets, as they can not only recommend the perfect location but can get it safely fitted for you, so you can enjoy it for years to come.
We think you’ll find that no matter what option you go for though – you’ll love the final product. There is a reason why LEDs are the go-to option for lighting now: not only are they energy efficient and therefore saving you money on your electricity bill, but they also have a superior lifespan and are guaranteed to last around 40 times longer than a traditional bulb.
