The history of bathroom cabinets includes the evolution of vanity units, medicine cabinets, and mirror cabinets.
Vanity units
The first vanity units were made in 1762 by Thomas Chippendale, a cabinet maker in London.
They were originally called toylet tables, then dressing tables, and finally vanity tables.
They were originally used in bedrooms, but were moved to bathrooms when indoor plumbing became more common in the late 19th century.
The term "vanity" comes from the idea of a dressing table or dressing room, which was a place for women to prepare themselves.
Vanity units often have drawers for storing cosmetics, perfumes, and other personal items.
Medicine cabinets
The concept of dedicated bathroom storage for medicine and toiletries began in the early 20th century.
Early medicine cabinets were often simple shelves built into the wall.
They emerged alongside public health policy initiatives and the growing market for personal care products.
Mirror cabinets
Mirror cabinets are cabinets with a mirror on the door that are placed above toilets or sinks.
They are often used to store small items like spare medicine or toothpaste.
Some mirror cabinets have a lamp that illuminates the mirror and the room.
