Affordable Medicine Cabinets for Every Style and Space

A good medicine cabinet is, undoubtedly, the unsung hero of any bathroom. Besides housing the obligatory mirror for endless hours of primping and polishing, it’s shouldered with a whole host of other jobs. These include expanding storage options vertically, beyond dark under-counter spaces and linen closets; handily storing the products you use most often; and keeping all those not-so-attractive bathroom things (think: over-gnawed toothbrushes, embarrassing medications, and ugly first aid products) well out of sight.

But finding a stylish—and affordable—medicine cabinet can be like searching for the proverbial needle in a cheap, builder-grade haystack. (And let’s face it, hidden electric outlets and built-in defoggers, while nice, aren’t exactly cost-effective.) So instead of busting your budget (and patience) to find the best workhorse for the most-used room in the house, consider these 11 cool medicine cabinets, all budget-friendly and designed for a variety of styles and spaces—from traditional to eclectic and everything in between.

A metal-framed mirror slides to the right (via metal arms on its top and bottom) to uncover this medicine cabinet’s natural, mango-wood frame, and two fixed shelves.
