Bathroom cabinets are a great way to add storage to your bathroom while adding a touch of modern appeal. They come in a variety of styles and sizes, allowing you to match your decor preferences with the space available in your bathroom.
How to Install a
If you want to update your bathroom with a new mirror cabinet, you'll need to do some prep work first. This includes checking that the wall is structurally sound and determining whether the wall is load bearing.
Load bearing walls are those that carry and distribute weight, ensuring that your floors remain level and your house stays upright. If the wall you intend to recess a cabinet into is load bearing, take extra care and use caution as it could cause your floor or ceiling to sag.

Remove the Cabinet Doors and Shelves
Before you can mount your cabinet, you'll need to remove the cabinet doors and shelves from your existing recessed medicine cabinet. This will make installation easier.
Measure the Top and Bottom Lengths of Your Wall
Before mounting your cabinet, make sure that the top of it is at a reasonable height to allow you to see your face in it while still giving you room to place items on your sink or toothbrush holder below it. General contractor Tom Silva of This Old House recommends starting at 72 inches, but adjusting the distance as needed to fit your needs and lifestyle.
