Design Dilemma Bathrooms

Looking for beautiful recessed mirrored medicine cabinets

last year

We are planning to remodel our primary bathroom and will have a double vanity. We would like to have recessed mirrored medicine cabinets over each sink with a sconce in the middle (not enough room to have on both sides). Looking for a recommendation for beautiful, high quality medicine cabinets. We do NOT want any with the built in LEDs but would like something that has some sort of bevel or frame vs. a plain mirror. Our style is fairly traditional/transitional and the metal finish is polished nickel if that helps. Thanks for any tips!

Check out the Kohler recessed frameless medicine cabinets on Build.com.

We're doing a medicine cabinet perpendicular to the sink (technically a 6' T x ~ 20 W cab that projects 6" into the room -- we can't recess because of pocket doors). It's a variation on a newer-construction solution that works for our old house space. [Seriously, I can't think of a 1980s+ typical development house that DOESN'T have that set up!] So obviously I think that solution is fine; it's never bothered me when visiting people and I don't think it's any more inconvenient than moving/leaning over to access a cab above a toilet...and I've had THAT set up in another bath for 6 years.

not sure what you mean by "guts exposed" - my nutone metro deluxe has about 1" sticking out, but it's only the door. the cabinet itself is fully flush to the wall. i also ran across this one in my searches. don't know any more than what this web site says, but it says the door only protrudes 1/4" from the wall. don't think you'll get any closer than that, if that's what you're looking for Here is a link that might be useful: nutone illusion

We used a Kohler medicine cabinet from Lowes. Simple and classic, mirrored on the inside too, around $100, great reviews.

Recessed Medicine Cabinet Mirror Size

I am looking at the same RH cartwright as well. I would definately do the small for a 36" vanity. I'm doing a small for my son's bath and his vanity is 48". Part of it depends on how you will do your lights- scones to the side of the cabinet or fixture above. We are starting framing next week. The joists and subfloor on the first floor are in. FYI, RH will have a bath sale shortly after christmas and I plan to purchase the cabinets then. I'm trying to decide which size to do in the master. We have 2 vanites and each will be about 54-57". The big one sounds enormous, or maybe it feels wrong for that style of cabinet. Any opinions? Here is a link that might be useful: RH cartwright medicine cabinet

We have recessed Rejuvenation medicine cabinets in both bathrooms; you can choose a beveled or plain mirror. Unfortunately, our new one was the last of their Oregon-made cabinets and they have moved production overseas entirely as of this summer, but the style is still the same and they did at least drop the price. Can't speak to the quality of the new ones but we've been happy with the original style. They are very traditional and the mirrors are too small for some people's taste, but they fit nicely into our 100-year-old house with traditional/transitional bathrooms.

The Kohler Verdura is beautiful. Elegant. Simple. We have the un lighted one in our guest bath. I love its pure, simple design.

I've been happy with the 4 recessed Robern medicine cabinets we used in our new build. I also used Keuco brand ones in my previous house, but not sure if they have framed ones.

Robern Medicine Cabinets are high quality and beveled edge available. Best to see in person, as I find their website doesn't show the quality.
