Mirror cabinets:
a variety of variations Automatic translate
Most people associate a mirrored cabinet with a modest, uniform design - just a facade with a reflective surface and nothing more. But with a detailed study of this topic, one can be convinced of the opposite. Modern furniture manufacturers use various types of mirror surface treatments. And the variety of methods allows us to significantly expand the range of façade decor and allow each buyer to find a suitable “mirror” option for their cabinet.
Cabinets with beveled mirror
Bevel is a special processing of a mirror, as a result of which a chamfer is removed from the edges of the canvas. Thanks to this, the material acquires shiny, iridescent edges. According to Shkaf4u designers from Minsk, a beveled mirror is one of the most versatile options for decorating a closet.

What are the main advantages of a beveled façade:
1) variety of shapes - thanks to cutting on a mirror surface, you can create a so-called beveled pattern. The dimensions and direction of the edges are determined in each specific case based on the customer’s preferences;
2) suitable for any interior, regardless of the chosen style direction, be it exquisite classics, laconic high-tech, luxurious art deco or strict minimalism;
3) does not lose its relevance - cabinets with a beveled mirror always look stylish and modern.
To achieve a beautiful refraction of light in the edges, craftsmen use canvases of sufficient thickness. Therefore, a beveled mirror weighs a lot, and installation of the structure will require more effort and attention. But here the result in any case justifies the money spent.
Wardrobes with tinted mirror
For those buyers who are not afraid to experiment and give traditions new shapes, Shkaf4u.by specialists from Minsk recommend paying attention to cabinets with tinted mirrors. In addition to the usual canvas with a silver tint, you can choose from mirrors in shades of bronze and graphite. Wardrobes with tinted mirrored fronts look presentable and original.

What are the advantages of decorating cabinet fronts with tinted mirrors:
1) these materials retain their reflective properties, but at the same time look unusual and original;
2) you can experiment with design - mirrors go well with other façade fillers and profiles;
3) fit perfectly into interiors of different stylistic contents - organic both for modern minimalist trends and for more traditional styles.
But when choosing a cabinet with mirrors in bronze or graphite shades, you need to take into account one important nuance. If for a small room a cabinet with a regular mirrored front is more suitable - to increase the space of the room, then in the case of decorative analogues the situation is different. Wardrobes with tinted mirrors are optimal for spacious and relatively bright rooms.
Mirrored cabinets with sandblasted pattern
Another spectacular way in which an ordinary mirrored cabinet can be turned into an accent element of the interior is sandblasting the canvases. This is a relatively simple technique that involves applying various patterns, ornaments, and designs to the reflective surface. Abrasive powders or sand are loaded into a special machine, which are then sprayed onto the mirror under high pressure in certain shapes.
There will be no difficulties with choosing stencils. For example, in the specialized catalog of the company Shkaf4u.by, a large number of options are available on a variety of topics. Natural and urban motifs, classic and modern symbols, simple and ornate patterns - every buyer will be able to choose a suitable design. But in order to 100% satisfy the requirements of applicants, many companies will be able to apply a drawing based on a sketch or photo of the customer.
Thanks to such a variety of stencils, you can choose a mirror cabinet with a sandblasted pattern for any interior style. But even with all its versatility, it is important to adhere to several recommendations from designers:
1) sandblasted mirrors are suitable for cabinets with dark or light colored cabinets;
2) small ornate ornaments are ideal for spacious and light-filled rooms;
3) simple patterns with large lines are suitable for small rooms.
Cabinets with a combination of mirrors and other materials
For those who are not afraid to experiment and want to achieve a truly unique result, the option of combining a mirror cloth with other materials is suitable. The mirror is universal in that it harmonizes perfectly with a variety of fillers that are offered to decorate the cabinet facade. By combining inserts from different materials, you can achieve an ideal interior solution in both color and style.
The mirror can be combined with the following façade fillers:
1) Chipboard – budget-friendly, practical and environmentally friendly boards with a rich range of colors;
2) photo printing on glass - a drawing, you can choose a photo in the catalog or provide your own version;
3) lacobel - thanks to a wide palette, glossy glass can acquire a variety of shades.
