Two medicine cabinets/mirrors over single sink vanity?

9 years ago

We are tight on space in our kids bath remodel. We originally ordered a small double vanity and two medicine cabients (plus two vanity lights), but it's looking like we will only be able to fit a single sink vanity in the space afterall. We are probably going to buy a 48" single sink vanity, but I'd prefer not to return both medicine cabinets/lights....

Question - can we use two medicine cabinets over a single sink vanity? I have not found many bathrooms with this setup, but I did find this one image online, and it would look similar in my bathroom.

(Also, we have considered a very small double vanity, but most are contemporary and we have more of a traditional/transitional home, so I think we will just switch to one sink).

What do you think of this?

This is the only photo I could find. It’s from near the end of the remodel.

Will the medicine cabinets be recessed into the wall so all you see are the mirrors? Without seeing the space, vanity cabinet or medicine cabinets my instincts say to return them and do a single mirror.

Yes, sorry, should have mentioned that, they will be recessed. We bought great recessed cabinets from Pottery Barn (bronze) - https://www.potterybarn.com/products/vintage-recessed-medicine-cabinet/?pkey=cmedicine-cabinets&isx=0.0.122

Also, these are the lights (we bought one to go above each mirror).

Very tasteful! When I heard "medicine cabinet" I thought the worst. Do you have images or links to the cabinet and size of sink? I noticed in your image the sink is a larger farmhouse style sink. The more I see your items purchased though, I'm feeling like you have the style to pull this off.

Something like this:

(any hardware that is chrome will be switched out to bronze)

Does anyone know where I can purchase the two oval medicine cabinets with mirrors at the top of this page? Just love them.

I’m having the same design dilemma, almost 4 years later! I bought the same pottery barn medicine cabinets and am looking at very similar 48” navy vanities with 1 sink (I want the extra counter space). What did you decide? Can you share pics?

I think only one medicine cabinet for a single sink.
