Recessed medicine cabinets are designed to be set back into the wall of your bathroom, so the bulk of the cabinet is hidden and looks like just a flush-mounted mirror.

It has an anodized aluminum body with a rust-free finish—ideal for humid bathrooms—and it even comes with reversible hinges that allow it to open to the left or right, depending on your space. 

This recessed medicine cabinet is on the small side, and it comes with two adjustable glass shelves to match its mirrored interior. The door opens 108 degrees for easier access to the cabinet’s contents, and the whole thing is reasonably priced to boot.
