(2) Glass Bathroom Cabinets

Bathroom cabinets made from glass will give your bathroom a trendy and sophisticated look. Most young homeowners prefer to install this type of bathroom cabinet because it can easily blend with any surface and with any wall design in the background. The doors of these cabinets can either be transparent, frosted, or tinted. In modern houses nowadays, most bathrooms are themed using glass of varying textures and tints. Homeowners should take a bit more care since glass is fragile and it should be polished and constantly wiped for the cabinets to keep their polished and shiny appearance.
