Ditch Clutter: IKEA Has A Storage Cabinet That Doubles As A Bathroom Light

Getting ready in the morning or winding down at night should be an easy process. If your bathroom lacks sufficient lighting, however, you might be all-too-well acquainted with bumping around within a dark space. A better option could be to add some additional illumination to this area, which can make for a smoother routine. IKEA's TREASJÖN Mirror Cabinet with 2 doors and light is one option that could upgrade your bathroom cabinets and illuminate your space.

Retailing for $229, the TREASJÖN Mirror Cabinet is a new spin on the concept of a medicine cabinet, coupled with a light bar at the top. The cabinet measures 30 inches high by 7 inches deep by 31 inches wide. The inside features two shelves that span the entire width of the piece and can be adjusted as you see fit for the contents. The simple form of the cabinet and the clean white finish makes the TREASJÖN a versatile option for modern or minimalist bathrooms. The product's details state that the LED light has a lifespan of about 25,000 hours, which should offer years of use before it requires replacement.

At the time of writing, customers had given this product a 4.3-star average out of more than 100 reviews. Buyers praise the appearance of the piece, as well as its quality, with one IKEA customer writing, "This cabinet is the perfect size and the asymmetrical mirrors mean I can keep commonly used items on the smaller side and just open that."

If you're excited about a new storage solution and some additional lighting, the TREASJÖN can be a worthwhile consideration. One customer on IKEA's website writes "Incredibly sturdy and easy to assemble. Looks amazing with lots of space." Prior to purchasing the cabinet, it bears noting that the cabinet does need to be hardwired and, as such, you should work with an electrician to properly and safely install the cabinet. Be sure to budget the cost of their labor into the overall price of this project and ask them these questions before letting them touch anything in your house.

The cabinet is also said to be heavy, with some reviewers complaining that it was difficult to hang or did not stay securely on the wall after installation. One buyer writes "I bought [it] and unfortunately [it] fell down in [a] couple of days.. instructions should include information that explains how to install on different types of walls." There are also a number of customers who state that the light on the cabinet is not super bright; this makes the TREASJÖN a good option for an additional accent light in a bathroom that already has sufficient illumination, rather than the main bathroom light.

Those who like this cabinet but are craving something with a different aesthetic can look into the FAXÄLVEN Mirror Cabinet ($371 on IKEA) which has an oak effect finish and features lighting, too.
