Jeff asked:


I’m remodeling my bathroom and plan on installing a 42″ wide bathroom vanity, but I’m unsure what size medicine cabinet to use. Are there any design rules/theories as it pertains to vanity size vs medicine cabinet size?

    It is really up to you but if you are looking for balance I wouldn’t go any smaller than a 36″ wide cabinet. The best way to get an idea would be to tape out the sizes on the wall or cut a piece of cardboard. Smaller units are sometimes better if you plan to have accessories such as soap dish or tooth brush holders, towel hangers etc.
