Best Medicine Cabinets with Mirrors
Pros, cons, how to select the right one, every size available, and how to install — five TETOTE medicine cabinets compared, straight from the product pages.
Pros and Cons of a Medicine Cabinet with Mirror
- Combines a full-function mirror with hidden storage in one fixture
- Keeps toiletries and medications off the counter and out of sight
- Recessed models sit flush for a clean, built-in look
- Adjustable shelves flex around what you actually own
- Available in sizes from a compact 14" to a 64"-wide double-vanity cabinet
- Recessed installation requires cutting into the wall and checking for plumbing/wiring
- Non-LED models rely entirely on your existing bathroom lighting
- Larger sizes can be heavy — a second installer helps
- Mirror-front doors show fingerprints more than a matte surface
- Swapping an existing recessed opening for a larger cabinet may require enlarging the wall cutout
How to Select a Medicine Cabinet with Mirror
Match your vanity width
Keep the cabinet roughly 2" narrower than the vanity below it, leaving about 1" of clearance on each side.
Recessed or surface mount
Recessed gives a flush, built-in look but needs wall cavity depth. Surface mount is simpler and works on any wall.
Check the shelf design
Adjustable, removable shelves adapt to taller bottles and shaving kits better than fixed shelving.
Consider frame vs. frameless
Framed metal cabinets add a defined edge and finish options; frameless glass reads more minimal and modern.

Medicine Cabinet with Beveled Mirror
TETOTE's newest and most size-flexible cabinet — 21 sizes, including several wide double-vanity options up to 64" — with a beveled mirror edge for extra depth and reflection.

Beveled Medicine Cabinet with Mirror
A concave, polished-edge frame gives this cabinet a "floating" mirror look — TETOTE's most design-forward option, with double adjustable shelves inside.
Pros
- Distinctive concave beveled frame
- Double adjustable shelves for storage
- Reversible/flippable hinge installation
Cons

Stainless Steel Framed Medicine Cabinet
A heavy-duty stainless steel frame that resists rust and moisture better than any other model here — the pick for maximum durability over decorative styling.

- Reversible door — left or right-hand opening
- Rounded corners, family-safe design
Cons
- No LED lighting

Round Metal Frame Mirror Cabinet
A circular 20" cabinet that works as a design statement rather than a strictly functional fixture — a softer alternative to a rectangular cabinet for powder rooms or accent walls.
Pros
- Distinctive round silhouette
- Simple surface-mount installation
- Black metal frame, easy to style
Cons
- Single fixed size only — 20" round
- Less interior storage than a rectangular cabinet of similar width
How to Install a Medicine Cabinet with Mirror
Choose recessed or surface mount
Recessed sits flush in the wall but needs enough cavity depth and no plumbing/wiring in the way. Surface mount installs directly on top of the drywall — simpler, and works on any wall.
Mark your height
Center the cabinet at a comfortable eye level for the household — typically 60"–66" from the floor to the mirror's center, and at least 3" above any faucet.
Cut or mount the bracket
For recessed: trace and cut the opening, then frame it with 2x4s if needed for support. For surface mount: drill your marked holes and secure the lower bracket to the wall.
Set the cabinet
Recessed models screw directly into the studs through the side panels. Surface-mount models hang on the lower bracket, then lock into place with the upper bracket.
Check the fit
Confirm the door opens a full 90° without hitting the wall or a side splash, and that the reveal around the frame looks even before final tightening.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which of these has the most size options?
The Medicine Cabinet with Beveled Mirror offers the widest range at 21 sizes, closely followed by the Recessed Medicine Cabinet at 19 sizes.
Do any of these include LED lighting?
No — all five in this guide are non-LED, mirror-and-storage cabinets. For built-in lighting, defogger, and outlets, see TETOTE's LED Medicine Cabinets collection instead.
Can the round cabinet be recessed?
The Round Metal Frame Mirror Cabinet is a surface-mount model, sized at a fixed 20" diameter — check the product page for current mounting options.
What if my vanity doesn't match any listed width exactly?
Round down to the closest size below your vanity width rather than up — it's better to have slightly more clearance on each side than too little for the door to swing freely.
