28 Medicine Cabinets

As anyone would testify, there’s no such thing as enough bathroom storage. Shampoos, conditioners, deodorants, medicine boxes and kits add up pretty quickly when bathroom vanities are in scarce supply. Even if you own a well sized bathroom cabinet, chances are you could still use a mirror cabinet with a few shelves to catch objects of daily use. Here are some ideas to consider, as you browse bathroom vanities online. More

Why bathroom vanities with medicine cabinets are popular


Medicine cabinets are great for organising things that belong in the bathroom, but would otherwise create too much clutter on bathroom shelves or the basin. Things like the first aid kit, daily medicinal supplements or skin and hair treatments are best left in a designated place - so you’ll always know where to find them.

Different types of medicine cabinets and bathroom vanities


Made of either wood, plastic, glass or stainless steel, a mirror cabinet will usually be placed above the bathroom basin. These are segmented based on the following attributes:

Installation: Medicine cabinets can be mounted flush against the wall, recessed and levelled with bathroom tiles, or simply installed at eye level - protruding above the bathroom tap. Other variations will include corner bathroom shelves with mirrors, and bathroom vanities that include medicine cabinets on top.

Mirror cabinet doors: Choose a bathroom cabinet with hinges to open and close the mirror door, or sliding doors - for easier access. However, remember to check which way the doors split the mirror (you wouldn’t want your mirror cut in half if it’s a split door hinge!).

While custom cabinets are easy to match with bathroom decor, you’ll also find plenty of ready-to-install medicine cabinets that are just as efficient for storage and use. Browse here for some great ideas about how to make a mirror cabinet work for you.
