💡 Designer Tips for Medium Cabinets
Pro advice for choosing and placing 20"–35" wide medicine cabinets.
Leave 2–4" on Each Side
A 24" cabinet over a 30" vanity leaves 3" on each side — the most visually balanced proportion. For 20" cabinets, pair with 24"–28" vanities in powder rooms.
Outlets at Vanity Height
Medium cabinets with built-in outlets (MC002, MC010, MC004) keep countertops clear. Position outlets 6–12" above the counter for easy access to hair dryers and trimmers.
LED for Task Lighting
If your bathroom lacks sconces or overhead vanity lights, a medium LED cabinet (MC001, MC002, MC010) provides direct task lighting exactly where you need it — at face level.
Recessed for Small Bathrooms
In tight spaces, recessed mounting gains 5–6" of floor space. MC002, MC010, MC011, MC005, and MC006 all support recessed installation. MC011 is specifically designed for flush recessed mounting.
Match Finish to Faucet
MC005 (Black, White, Brushed Nickel, Gold) and MC006 (Black, Gold, Chrome, Brushed Nickel) let you match exactly to your faucet and shower trim. The MC010 offers matching Black or White frames.
Height Matters Too
Taller cabinets (32"–36" height) work well in bathrooms with high ceilings or above lower vanities. Shorter cabinets (24"–26") are proportional for pedestal sinks or console vanities.
