Of course! A mirror with a cover is a fantastic solution for adding privacy, style, and functionality to a space. They are often called “Smart Mirrors,” “Cabinet Mirrors,” or more specifically, “Medicine Cabinets with Mirrors.”

Here’s a breakdown of the different types, things to consider, and where to find them.

Types of Mirrors with Covers

1. Medicine Cabinets

This is the most common and practical type. They are designed for bathrooms and typically include storage behind the mirror.

• Recessed: Installed inside the wall, saving space and creating a sleek, built-in look. Requires cutting into the wall.

• Surface-Mount: Mounted directly onto the wall. Easier to install and perfect for rooms where you can’t recess into the wall.

• Features: Many modern versions include built-in LED lighting, demisters (to prevent fogging), and electrical outlets for razors or toothbrushes.

2. Sliding Mirror Doors

Often used for larger spaces, like covering a closet or a built-in shelving unit.

• How it works: Two or more mirror panels slide on a track, allowing you to open one section at a time.

• Best for: Bedrooms, walk-in closets, or living areas where you need to conceal a large area.

3. Tilting / Pivoting Mirrors

These mirrors are mounted on a central pivot and can be swung open like a door to reveal hidden storage or a niche behind them.

• Style: Often has a more modern, minimalist aesthetic.

• Best for: Vanity areas or bathrooms where you want a unique design feature.

4. Mirrored Jewelry Armoires

A freestanding piece of furniture with a large mirror on the outside that opens up to reveal organized storage for jewelry, accessories, and makeup.

• Best for: Bedrooms and dressing rooms. Offers excellent privacy and security for valuable items.

5. DIY or Custom Solutions

You can create your own by:

• Mounting a lightweight mirror to the front of a existing cabinet door.

• Using a mirror as a bi-fold or sliding door for a closet.

• Installing a mirror on a hinge that swings closed to cover a piece of art, a TV, or a wall safe.

Key Considerations Before You Buy

1. Purpose: What are you hiding?

   • Bathroom clutter? -> A Medicine Cabinet is perfect.

   • A closet or entire wall? -> Sliding Mirror Doors are the best fit.

   • Jewelry and valuables? -> A Jewelry Armoire is ideal.

2. Space & Installation:

   • Recessed vs. Surface-Mount: Do you have the wall depth for a recessed model, or do you need something that sits on the surface?

   • Size: Measure your space carefully. For a medicine cabinet, a good rule of thumb is to center it over the sink.

3. Features:

   • Lighting: Integrated LED lights are a game-changer for applying makeup or shaving.

   • Power Outlets/USB: Extremely convenient for charging devices or powering electric toothbrushes inside the cabinet.

   • Anti-Fog: A demister pad prevents the mirror from fogging after a shower.

   • Locking Mechanism: Important for privacy or if you have young children and need to keep medicines secure.

4. Style:

   • Choose a frame (or frameless design) that matches your existing decor—modern, traditional, industrial, etc.

Where to Buy

• Home Improvement Stores: Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Menards have extensive in-store and online selections of medicine cabinets and sliding door kits.
