Through AllsumHome, customers can explore ExBrite bathroom solutions designed for real spaces, offering the balance of style, storage, and everyday convenience.
Why Choose a Large Medicine Cabinet for Your Bathroom?
A larger vanity area requires more than a wider mirror. Standard medicine cabinets may leave unused wall space above double sinks or fail to provide enough storage for multiple users.
A large medicine cabinet helps solve these challenges by providing:
-
Expanded Mirror Coverage: A wider mirror creates a balanced appearance above large vanities.
-
More Organized Storage: Adjustable shelves provide space for skincare products, grooming tools, and everyday essentials.
-
Integrated Lighting: Built-in LED illumination reduces the need for separate vanity lighting.
-
Cleaner Countertop Space: Interior storage keeps frequently used items within reach without filling the vanity surface.
Large cabinets are especially suitable for bathrooms with double sinks, wide countertops, and open wall areas where a smaller mirror may appear undersized.
What Features Should You Look for in a Large Medicine Cabinet?
When selecting a larger cabinet, focus on features that improve daily use rather than size alone.
High-Quality LED Lighting for Grooming
Large medicine cabinets should provide consistent lighting across the entire mirror surface. ExBrite cabinets use CRI 90+ LED lighting to provide more accurate color visibility for grooming tasks such as shaving, skincare, and makeup application.

The Ample series includes dual LED light strips with front-lit, back-lit, or combined lighting modes. This allows homeowners to choose between task lighting for grooming or softer ambient lighting for a relaxed bathroom setting.
The RIM series features high CRI LED strips with smooth illumination, adjustable brightness, and color temperature control from 3000K-6000K.
How Does Storage Differ in Large Medicine Cabinets?
Large cabinets provide more interior space, but the way that space is organized matters.
The Ample series includes generous external storage with a bottom open shelf, providing additional space for frequently used bathroom items without making the cabinet feel crowded. Adjustable tempered glass shelves allow users to arrange products based on their needs.
The RIM series uses glass interior shelves and walls to create a brighter cabinet interior while providing flexible storage. Adjustable shelves support different product sizes, from smaller skincare containers to taller grooming accessories.
Common items stored inside large medicine cabinets include:
- Electric toothbrushes
- Razors and grooming tools
- Skincare products
- Hair styling accessories
- Daily medications
- Personal care items
A well-designed cabinet keeps these products organized while maintaining a cleaner vanity area.

What Installation Options Are Available for Large Medicine Cabinets?
Large medicine cabinets can typically be installed through recessed or surface-mount methods depending on the bathroom structure.

Cabinet sits slightly forward from the wall

Recessed installation requires a suitable wall cavity, generally a 3.5” stud cavity with 2x4 framing. Before cutting into the wall, check for plumbing, wiring, and structural limitations.
Load-bearing walls and exterior walls should not be cut out for recessed cabinet installation. When recessed, the cabinet does not sit completely flush with the wall. The door and hardware require approximately 1"-2" of projection for proper opening and operation.
Surface mounting is a practical choice when recessed installation is not possible. It avoids wall modification while still providing integrated lighting, mirror functionality, and storage. Surface‑mount medicine cabinets above 48 inches are recommended to be secured to wall studs. Keep the tile‑drilling silicone‑sealing requirement. Retain the description for 80‑96 inch models matching 70%‑100% countertop width.
Choosing and installing a large medicine cabinet requires careful planning, especially for wider models. ExBrite provides installation guidance from engineers who have personally worked with the medicine cabinet range.
How Do You Choose the Right Width for a Large Medicine Cabinet?
The cabinet width should match the size of your vanity and bathroom layout.
General recommendations:
- A 48” medicine cabinet works well above wider single vanities or compact double vanities.
- Cabinets above 60” are suited for larger double-sink setups.
- Extra-wide cabinets create a continuous mirror appearance across large vanity walls.
A cabinet should complement the vanity rather than overwhelm the surrounding space.
