Recessed Wall Cabinets
Recessed cabinets provide you with the extra storage space you need while blending in with surrounding architecture for an aesthetically pleasing result. Our recessed bathroom cabinets, including the popular wall medicine cabinet options or our medicine cabinets without mirrors, are constructed with solid wood and come in many styles to fit both traditional and contemporary bathrooms. Recessed wall cabinets fit between the studs in your wall without needing a framed rectangular box. They also have no obstructions in the center, which allows for deeper shelves.
Benefits of Our Recessed Wall Cabinets

Space Saving Design
Our recessed medicine cabinets are especially beneficial for smaller bathrooms as they take up less space than surface-mounted cabinets. Wooden medicine cabinets can also be installed when renovating your bathroom to give it a slick, minimalistic look. Our designs for recessed wall cabinets offer various advantages:
- Made in the U.S. using high-quality solid pine wood panels that are screwed together to last long in humid environments
- Concealed hinges and a soft close feature to prevent slamming doors
- Reversible doors that can be opened on the left or right side
- Adjustable glass shelves for easy storage
Easy Installation
Recessed medicine cabinets are easy to install, whether you are a professional or an amateur DIYer. Start by picking your desired spot — use a stud finder to find the right placement — and then measure the space, cut the drywall, slide the recessed medicine cabinet between the studs and use the preinstalled screws to mount the cabinet onto the studs. Next, mount the door on whichever side you desire, install the shelf supports and slide the shelves into place.
Custom Recessed Cabinets for Bathrooms
Customization options include sizing, mirrors, LED lights and power outlets. Adding mirrors makes the bathroom appear more spacious. Integrated outlets help clear the surface of extra wires when using your straighteners or charging your electric toothbrush. The power outlet is positioned on top to prevent splashes and to make use of all available space on the cabinet.
You can opt for motion sensor lights or a manual off/on switch. Hinge restrictors prevent the door from opening more than 90 degrees and ease the worry of the mirror hitting the wall. Custom sizing is available when you want to fit the cabinet into an existing wall opening.
Frequently Asked Questions About Recessed Cabinets
Here are answers to a few of the most common questions we hear about recessed cabinets.
How Much Does It Cost to Install a Recessed Medicine Cabinet?
The cost of installing a recessed cabinet in the bathroom can vary depending on several factors, including:
- Size:Â Larger cabinets or ones with multiple compartments and shelves often require more materials and labor, which increases the installation cost.
- Material:Â A recessed bathroom cabinet made with a premium material, like wood, tends to cost more than a basic plastic option.
- Customization:Â Adding custom features to your recessed medicine cabinet, such as LED lighting or power outlets, can increase the cost of the installation.
- Labor costs:Â Labor costs contribute to the overall price of a recessed cabinet installation. The costs can differ depending on the contractor’s expertise and experience as well as the complexity of the installation.
What Are Recessed vs. Raised Cabinets?
Recessed cabinets have a flat center panel with raised borders surrounding it. Raised cabinets, on the other hand, have center panels that are slightly raised above the frame around them. Both of these cabinet styles offer unique appeal. Recessed cabinets add a sleek, modern feel to your bathroom, while raised cabinets create a sophisticated feel with their intricate detailing.
Do You Lose Cabinet Space With Inset Cabinets?
Yes, you do lose a little bit of space with inset cabinets. The doors fit inside the frame, which means slightly less interior storage space compared to full-overlay cabinets, where the doors sit on top of the frame. The difference is usually minimal and often not even noticeable.
Can Drywall Hold a Recessed Cabinet?
Generally, drywall alone isn’t strong enough to support an in-wall cabinet. You’ll want to make sure the cabinet recesses in the wall between studs or screws. It’s best to support the cabinet’s weight to ensure safety and stability.
