Double Door Bathroom Medicine Cabinet

What Is Medicine Cabinet?

 

A medicine cabinet is a rectangular wall-mounted unit reserved for drugs, toiletries and other small items. It’s not the same as a bathroom cabinet, which holds towels and larger bathroom necessities. Medicine cabinets usually hang over the sink at eye level, high enough to prevent children from getting into it. Some can be locked for extra safety.

 

Benefits of Medicine Cabinet

Easy Storage

Whatever you need to keep on hand in the bathroom-such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss, and so on-you can keep out of sight. Plus, a medicine cabinet can also act as another mirror for other grooming tasks such as shaving or putting on makeup.

Multiple Design Choices

Medicine cabinets also present multiple design choices. The two main types you will find are wall-mounted and recessed. The wall-mounted cabinets sit up against the wall, and all you have to do is open the door. 

Space-saving

Medicine cabinets are often compact and designed to fit into bathroom walls or above sinks, maximizing the use of available space. This can be especially beneficial in small bathrooms where storage options may be limited.

Aesthetically pleasing

Many medicine cabinets are designed to blend seamlessly with bathroom decor, providing an aesthetically pleasing storage solution. They can add a touch of functionality and style to your bathroom while keeping your daily essentials within easy reach.

 

 

How to Choose the Right Medicine Cabinet?

 

Medicine cabinets are a versatile addition to any bathroom, offering both a mirror and extra storage. 
Size

Small Medicine Cabinets: Small medicine cabinets are best used above single vanities or placed side-by-side above a double vanity. 

 

Large Medicine Cabinets: Large medicine cabinets are better suited for double vanities and offer even more bathroom storage.

Installation Type

Surface-Mount: Surface-mount medicine cabinets are mounted on the surface of the wall. This type of medicine cabinet is easy to install by yourself and doesn't require moving any plumbing or electrical lines. 

 

Recessed: Recessed medicine cabinets are installed into a hole in the wall to create a built-in look. These medicine cabinets can be deeper than surface-mount designs, granting you more storage. 

Frame

Frameless: Frameless medicine cabinets are a sleek, modern option-especially for recessed medicine cabinets. Flat edges are great for creating a bold, minimalist look, while beveled edges can add a soft, timeless feel to the medicine cabinet.

 

Frame: Medicine cabinets featuring frames present a timeless aesthetic and are available in various finishes to seamlessly blend with the bathroom decor. The presence of a frame reduces the visibility of fingerprints along the mirror’s edges, offering a cleaner and more polished appearance.

Door Style

Swing: The most common door style, swinging medicine cabinet doors open from one side. The door is attached to one side of the cabinet with hinges, which allow for full movement.

 

Slide: Medicine cabinets that incorporate sliding doors operate using a sliding motion instead of a swinging mechanism. The majority of these cabinets are equipped with two doors that slide horizontally from one side to the other to facilitate opening and closing.

Materials

Aluminum: Aluminum medicine cabinets are waterproof and treated with an oxidized finish to prevent any rust, making them a long-lasting fixture. These medicine cabinets are excellent for humid bathrooms or bathrooms with showers.

 

Stainless Steel: Similar to aluminum, stainless steel medicine cabinets are designed to handle steam and moisture, have a rust-resistant finish, and last for a long time.

 

Wood: Wood is a great medicine cabinet choice because it gives your bathroom a stylish finish and can be stained or painted any color.

FAQ

Q: Should I Keep Or Replace My Medicine Cabinet?

A: As long as it’s still working for you, you can use it. Depending on the existing design, you might be able to reface it with a new mirror or new front design. If a medicine cabinet is no longer serving its function due to damage or wear and tear, that’s always a reason to update it. If it also feels outdated and you simply want a new medicine cabinet, that’s a perfectly good reason to get a new one as well.

Q: What is a recessed medicine cabinet with a mirror?

A: A recessed medicine cabinet with a mirror is a specific type of medicine cabinet that is installed flush into the wall, rather than protruding from it. It is designed to be recessed between the wall studs, creating a more streamlined and seamless look in the bathroom or any other room where it is installed. The mirror on the front of the cabinet serves both as a functional mirror for personal grooming purposes and as a door to access the storage compartment behind it. This type of medicine cabinet is often preferred for its space-saving design and aesthetic appeal.

Q: What are the benefits of a double-sided mirror medicine cabinet?

A: A double-sided mirror medicine cabinet offers several benefits: Versatility: With a double-sided mirror, you can easily access the contents of the cabinet from either side. This is especially useful if the cabinet is installed in a shared bathroom or if multiple people need to use the cabinet simultaneously. Convenience: The double-sided mirror allows you to have a mirror on both the inside and outside of the cabinet door. This means that you can use the mirror on the outside for regular grooming tasks, while also being able to access the mirror on the inside when the cabinet is open and you need a closer look or more detailed reflection. Maximizes space: By having a mirror on both sides of the cabinet door, you can make the most of your available wall space. This is particularly advantageous in smaller bathrooms or rooms where space is limited.

Q: Can I install a medicine cabinet with a mirror myself?

A: Yes, you can install a medicine cabinet with a mirror yourself, but it requires basic carpentry skills and tools. You will need to choose the location, mark and cut the opening, install additional framing if necessary, attach the cabinet to the wall studs, connect the electrical (if applicable), and finish the installation by adjusting shelves and attaching the mirror.

Q: Are soft-closing doors important for a medicine cabinet with a mirror?

A: Soft-closing doors can be a beneficial feature for a medicine cabinet with a mirror, but whether or not it is important depends on personal preference. Soft-closing doors allow the cabinet doors to close slowly and quietly, reducing the chance of slamming or accidental damage. This can be particularly useful in spaces where noise reduction is desired, such as bathrooms near sleeping areas. Additionally, soft-closing doors can help prevent fingers from getting caught or pinched. If these factors are important to you, then opting for a medicine cabinet with soft-closing doors may be worth considering.

Q: How many doors should I choose for my medicine cabinet with a mirror?

A: The number of doors you choose for your medicine cabinet with a mirror depends on several factors, including the size of the cabinet and your personal preferences. Most medicine cabinets come with either one or two doors. A single-door cabinet is typically smaller and more compact, making it suitable for smaller spaces or if you have limited wall space available. It usually opens to one side, providing access to the storage space behind. A double-door cabinet is larger and offers more storage capacity. It may have a central partition that separates the two doors, allowing you to organize items separately. Double-door cabinets are often preferred for larger bathrooms or if you require more storage space for medications, toiletries, and other items. Consider the amount of storage space you need and the available wall space when deciding between one or two doors. Additionally, think about how you will use the cabinet and which design you find most aesthetically pleasing. Ultimately, the choice between one or two doors is a matter of personal preference and functional requirements.

Q: Do medicine cabinets have to go into the wall?

A: No. There are two primary types of medicine cabinets: A surface mount medicine cabinet attaches directly to a wall. You can avoid moving any plumbing or electrical lines that may be in the wall behind it. A recessed mount medicine cabinet, on the other hand, is installed in a wall.

Q: How big should a medicine cabinet be over a vanity?

A: For smaller sinks and vanities 18 to 24 inches wide, a 15 x 24-inch medicine cabinet is a good fit. For compact vanities 30 to 36 inches wide, a 20 x 24-inch medicine cabinet is a good fit. For mid-size vanities 42 to 48 inches wide, a 30 x 24-inch medicine cabinet is a good fit.

Q: What are the slits in medicine cabinets for?

A: The slits in medicine cabinets serve multiple purposes. They are commonly known as ventilation slots or vents, and their primary function is to allow air circulation within the cabinet. This ventilation helps prevent moisture buildup and reduces the chances of mold or mildew growth. Additionally, the slits in medicine cabinets also serve as a safety feature. In the event of accidental spillage or leakage of liquids, such as medications or antiseptic solutions, the slits allow these substances to drain out rather than accumulating inside the cabinet. This prevents potential damage to the stored items and makes cleaning up easier. Furthermore, the ventilation provided by the slits helps regulate the internal temperature of the medicine cabinet. This is particularly important for certain medications that require specific temperature conditions for optimal storage. By allowing air to circulate, the slits help maintain a consistent temperature and prevent overheating or excessive cooling.

Q: How high off the floor should a medicine cabinet be?

A: around 72 inches A recessed medicine cabinet is generally centered on a stud. If your vanity and sink don’t have a stud centered above it, a surface mount cabinet may work better. In general, the top of a recessed cabinet should be around 72 inches above the floor. Adjust it to fit your needs and height. Leave at least 3 inches of space above and below the cabinet. Assure that it clears the faucet and the vanity lighting. If you have tall faucets, soap dispensers or large light fixtures, plan your cabinet placement around those. Make sure you can see your face and some of your body in the mirror. Mounting it too high means you’ll see mostly ceiling.

Q: What color bathroom cabinets are timeless?

Q: Is a Medicine Cabinet Best for Your Bathroom Design?

A: Small bathrooms with minimal counter space or insufficient cupboards under the sink can benefit from surface mount cabinets. Storage mounted on the wall provides a sophisticated area for organizing toiletries or medications. Meanwhile, recessed medicine cabinets can offer the right amount of storage above the sink without it overwhelming the space. If your goal is to design a clean, fresh look for your bathroom, chances are a medicine cabinet will help create that signature look. Take a look at the size of your space to determine how a medicine cabinet could benefit you. If there’s a possibility that it could overwhelm the space, try looking at alternative storage options. Deciding on a medicine cabinet should be a fun, stress-free check off the list during a home renovation.

Q: Which way should a medicine cabinet swing?

A: You can install most cabinets with the hinges on the left or the right, determining door swing orientation. Standard: Standard cabinet hinges open around 107°-110°, moving slightly past where the door is perpendicular to the cabinet.

Q: Can you put a recessed medicine cabinet in an outside wall?

A: It is generally not recommended to install a recessed medicine cabinet in an outside wall. This is because exterior walls can be subjected to temperature fluctuations and condensation, which can lead to potential moisture issues. Additionally, cutting into an exterior wall can compromise the insulation and structural integrity of the wall, potentially leading to energy loss and other structural problems.

Q: What is a normal size medicine cabinet?

A: Although there is no set size or universal standard for medicine cabinet dimensions, many are in the 15-by-30-inch range, sometimes smaller or larger. An accurate medicine cabinet measurement comes from removing the cabinet door and unscrewing the cabinet from the framing.
