Designing our Bathrooms

12 years ago

We are remodeling our bathrooms. Do you think wall-mount medicine cabinets look cheesy? I read in a fancy interior design book that they basically are. We're doing wall-mounts in two baths so we don't have to move the plumbing (to keep costs down). Then I thought why not just do all of them wall-mount. We're buying four. Thoughts?

A flush mounted medicine cabinet appears more 'high-end'.

Is "flush-mount" the same as recessed or is that custom?

A recessed medicine cabinet is one that is partially built-in into the wall (hence 'recessed'). The face of it though extends beyond the walls' surface. A flush cabinet is the one like Dytecture shows above, and i agree...it is more classier, although i grew up, and still have wall mounted medicine cabinets and nothing wrong with how they look. This is all about personal perference and how ultimately it will finally look in your place
