Best arched: Ebern Designs Arched Framed Medicine Cabinet

An arched mirror has an air of elegance that's fabulous for creating a serene bathroom. The Ebern Designs Arched Framed Medicine Cabinet is a tasteful choice.

It's made of rust-resistant metal and available in a couple of different sizes and colors, like gold, chrome, and oil-rubbed bronze.

Best budget: IVÖSJÖN Mirror Cabinet

The IVÖSJÖN Mirror Cabinet is an excellent budget-friendly IKEA storage solution that keeps bathroom clutter at bay. It's hard to find a medicine cabinet at this low of a price — it only costs $19.99 — let alone one that looks this trendy. It's made of plastic with a sage green finish and has a circular mirror embedded in the door as well as an open shelf below the cabinet.

It's made of anodized aluminum and has a mirrored front with an ornate silver-finish frame. The interior is mirrored too and has two adjustable glass shelves.

The trim on the mirror is so slim and intricate that it's not overbearing but not plain either." It's a beautiful and durable unit.

Best corner-mount: Ivy Bronx Eastbrook Corner Mount Medicine Cabinet

Small bathrooms might not have the wall space for a regular medicine cabinet, but many have an under-utilized corner. In that case, you can install the Ivy Bronx Eastbrook Corner Mount Medicine Cabinet. It's a simple particleboard cabinet, complete with three shelves inside and a mirrored door. A waterproof coating helps the cabinet hold up to bathroom conditions. The sides that mount to the wall each measure only 8.42 inches wide (and 24.2 inches tall), so they take up very little space on the wall, while providing a decent amount of storage space.

Shoppers are pretty happy with this product, rating it 4.4 stars based on 116 reviews. About 64% of reviewers rate it 5 stars, with one saying, "This was exactly what I was looking for. I remodeled a bathroom and due to plumbing issues my only option was a corner vanity. This corner medicine cabinet was the perfect size and color. It was surprisingly easy to assemble... [and] just the right size for toothbrushes, floss, toothpaste and any small vanity items you don't want to be sitting out on the vanity counter." Negative reviews note that the particle board material doesn't feel very high-quality, though that is somewhat expected of this cheaper wood material.

Best mirrorless: RiverRidge Somerset Medicine Cabinet

Sometimes you don't need a mirrored cabinet, for example, if you're placing it near two statement mirrors over a vanity. The RiverRidge Somerset Medicine Cabinet is mirrorless for when you don't want another reflective surface. This is a very affordable Amazon find, made of medium density fiber (MDF) board styled into a traditional bathroom wall cabinet. It has an open shelf for decorating and an interior shelf behind double doors.

This cabinet is highly reviewed on Amazon, earning 4.5 stars based on 5,031 reviews. Around 72% rate it 5 stars. One reviewer says, "For an inexpensive cabinet, I was very pleased with it ... I took my time assembling it, as I don't have a knack for this kind of thing, and had no problems ... Bottom line: If you're looking for an inexpensive, functional, yet attractive cabinet, I think this would do nicely." Negative reviews note the material feels a bit cheap, though that's typical of MDF and reflected in its low cost ($60 to $70, depending on the color). Considering the cabinet looks nice and is spacious, it offers great value for its price.

Best lockable: AdirMed Locking Medicine Cabinet

The AdirMed Locking Medicine Cabinet locks up securely, keeping its contents safe from children, pets, and prying eyes. This is a metal medicine cabinet that's essentially a lockable steel box, with a retro look. It doesn't have a mirror and serves as a spot to store medications rather than a getting-ready zone. To boost security, it features a dual lock system, with two separate locks that each has its own distinct key, so you need both to unlock and open the cabinet. The interior shelves are designed to store medicine and vitamin bottles, small boxes, and first aid items as well.

The cabinet has earned 4.4 stars overall based on 258 reviews, with 68% giving it 5 stars. A happy reviewer raved, "One of my favorite recent purchases for our family. This cabinet features good quality coated steel. Door hinge and locking mechanisms work well without any issue. I even like that this does not have a handle on the door just to make it harder to pry open." Reviewers highly recommend it for homes with children, as it's pretty much impossible for little ones to get into.

Best modern farmhouse: AllModern Farmhouse Metal Bathroom Medicine Cabinet

It's a recessed cabinet, so it just looks like a mirror once installed and comes in several colors and sizes.

Reviewers are happy with this cabinet, giving it 4.6 stars based on 978 reviews. One reviewer highly praised the product, but pointed out, "I think the 'Farmhouse' label is inaccurate. The style is more midcentury modern. Very classic, clean, matches a range of decor ... Great price considering it is a close match to similar, more expensive options." In short, it's an attractive cabinet that skews modern but can suit a range of decor styles.

Best large: Pegasus Rectangular Medicine Cabinet with Mirror

If you're looking for substantial storage and a large statement mirror, the Pegasus Rectangular Medicine Cabinet with Mirror is an excellent choice. This extra-large medicine cabinet measures 48 inches wide and 26 inches tall by 5 inches deep. The front is entirely mirrored with three large panels of glass. Each covers a soft-close door to a cabinet behind, which has glass shelving inside. It's possible to recess or surface-mount this cabinet.

Best eclectic: AllModern Jensen Surface Medicine Cabinet

The mirrored section is actually a door, opening up to hidden storage inside.

Reviewers give this cabinet an average of 4.6 stars based on 120 reviews. A reviewer explained, "[I] was looking for a medicine cabinet for a small urban farmhouse/shore home bathroom update and this is perfect. Nice size, simple and clean lines, and very sturdy. I love the hybrid of open shelving and the closed mirrored section. Very easy to install." A few unhappy reviews noted that there's no backing behind the mirrored cabinet section; it will show the wall where it's mounted.

Best traditional: Lark Manor Aurillac Medicine Cabinet

The Lark Manor Aurillac Medicine Cabinet has a beautiful traditional look, ideal for classic bathrooms where you want to highlight craftsman details. It's a spacious cabinet, available in two sizes and four colors. It's made of manufactured wood, but reviewers note it feels well-made and sturdy and features a pretty beveled mirror on the door. Details like crown molding, reeded trim, an antique-style handle, and a filigree design elevate the look. Inside, it has two height-adjustable shelves and plenty of room to store personal care products.

Shoppers rate this cabinet 4.6 stars based on 364 reviews, and 77% of reviewers give it 5 stars. One reviewer spoke very highly of this cabinet, saying, "Outstanding quality and value. We live in an area where Amish craftsmen make a lot of these kinds of pieces. Theirs tend to be more plain style and we were hoping to find something with a little more style. Without going overboard, this meets our needs perfectly."

Best cottage-style: Lark Manor Burnet Framed Medicine Cabinet

The Lark Manor Burnet Framed Medicine Cabinet is full of character, ideal for those looking for a touch of whimsical ornateness in their bathroom.

One happy shopper called it a "very elegant medicine cabinet. Matches my vanity. It is bigger than your standard medicine cabinet [and] all wood inside." It's touches like the all-wood construction, molding details, and beveled mirror that make this cabinet feel well-made.

Best transitional: ChooChoo Medicine Cabinet

The ChooChoo Medicine Cabinet has a relaxed design that can fit into a wide range of bathroom styles, including transitional, contemporary, farmhouse, and coastal. It strikes a balance between traditional elegance — made of engineered wood with trim, shuttered doors, and a curved detail — while also keeping a sleek and minimalist silhouette typical of modern design. This cabinet is available in two sizes and a few neutral colors. The price reflects its basic construction, making it another very budget-friendly cabinet, coming in at around $60 to $70.

Shoppers are generally happy with this product, rating it 4.5 stars, based on 1,184 reviews and with 73% giving it a full 5 stars. As one reviewer put it, "Usually I hate products made from fake wood, but these are excellent quality, easy assembly, and everything fits and lines up perfectly. Only downside I found was that the included mounting hardware was useless, and not sufficient for the weight of the cabinet. I used toggle bolts instead so I know the cabinet isn't going anywhere." A few reviews mentioned providing their own mounting hardware, a possible factor to consider in the overall cost, while others found the included hardware sturdy enough to use.

Best baroque-inspired: Winston Porter Voijin Metal Medicine Cabinet

If you want a traditional look, but don't like the clunkiness of big, wooden medicine cabinets, the Winston Porter Voijin Metal Medicine Cabinet is a pretty pick. This baroque-inspired medicine cabinet has an ornate scroll design along the top of its thin frame. It's made of metal, which lends to a sleeker appearance.

Lots of storage and a beautiful mirror."

Best fluted wood: Vingli Fluted Modern Medicine Cabinet

Exactly the color and style I was looking for ... Took me about two hours to put together because I worked very slow and cautiously to not make any mistakes and have it come out perfect." A few reviewers noted uneven doors, sometimes fixable and other times a cause to return the cabinet. This is another budget-friendly cabinet from Amazon though, and at its $50 to $90 price point, most reviews found it to be worth its cost.
