I love my storage mirror, which I have talked about plenty before. I mean, I really love it. I bought it on a whim a few months ago, thinking it would help me organize my jewelry and look nice in my apartment, but it quickly became my favorite purchase.
The storage mirrors that are on sale
There are a few different deals on storage mirrors going on right now. Here is the one I recommend:
The exact one I got is this one, which is not on sale and is instead currently selling for $129.99. The one above, which has the Prime Day deal going on, is very similar, so if you want to save an extra $20, go for it. The only notable difference between the one on sale and the one I have is that inside the mirror, where there is storage space for all manner of jewelry and trinkets, mine has a second mirror and this one doesn’t. No great loss for $20! Plus, the one on sale can stand upright or be hung from a door; mine could do neither of those things and, in fact, had to be screwed into the wall. You’re saving money and manual labor with the one that’s on sale.
Prime Day also has deals on other, slightly different storage mirrors, like these:
Instead of $249.99, this free-standing Songmics LED mirror with internal storage and a hidden shelving unit is $194.98.
A similar free-standing mirror with hidden shelving unit from TYGO is $179.39 instead of $219.98—and this one has the little mirror inside!
Why I love my storage mirror
When I started on my mission to overhaul and reorganize my apartment, I knew I was going to need creative storage solutions. I’ve been working hard to follow the rules of the Organizational Triangle, namely by keeping all similar items together and making sure they all have a designated storage space. Prior to getting the storage mirror—which opens to reveal specific slots for rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and more—all of my jewelry and hair care products were stored in different areas. Some were in the bathroom; others were on shelves in the living room near where I usually do my hair and makeup. The whole system was a mess.
In addition to classing the place up with its sleek look and adding a much-needed full-length mirror to my getting-ready space, this storage mirror enabled me to store all my accessories together. Now there’s no external clutter, but everything is still easily within reach when I’m getting ready, so I can whip it open and see exactly what I have, always choosing just the right jewelry or hair clip to match the day’s vibe. When I’m done, I just close it up and everything goes back to looking organized from the outside.
I also love the lights. Mine has three light modes on both mirrors ranging from cool, blue-toned light to warm, yellow-toned light, so I can switch between them while I do my makeup to make sure I will look normal whether I’m outside or inside all day. The lights dim, too, and every night, I turn down the outer light and use the whole thing as a kind-of nightlight, illuminating my living room just enough so I don’t trip and cause some sort of bodily catastrophe if I have to get up in the middle of the night.
I love this thing and recommend it to everyone, but they’re usually fairly expensive. Thanks to Prime Day, that’s not a concern right now.
