When most people think of a medicine cabinet, they picture something small mounted above the bathroom sink. But a tall wall-mounted storage cabinet with mirror is a different product entirely — and it opens up a lot more possibilities for where it can go and what it can do.
The BrumaTall is 15" wide and 63" tall, which makes it closer to a full length mirror with storage than a traditional medicine cabinet. At that height, it doesn't fit above most sinks — but it fits beautifully in a lot of other places, both inside and outside the bathroom. Here's a look at where it works best and why.
In the Bathroom
The most obvious place for a tall medicine cabinet is the bathroom, just not necessarily above the sink. A 63" tall cabinet needs wall space that most vanity areas don't have. Instead, mount it on a free wall beside the shower, next to the vanity, or on any open stretch of wall that's otherwise going unused.
The advantage over a standard medicine cabinet is storage. Where a typical medicine cabinet gives you two or three shelves behind a small mirror, BrumaTall gives you five adjustable shelves behind a full length mirror — enough for the whole family's toiletries, medications, skincare, and everyday essentials without any overflow onto the countertop.
Like all BrumaBath cabinets, BrumaTall supports both recessed and surface mount installation. The 15" width is designed to fit neatly between standard American wall studs, which are spaced 16" apart on center with 14.5" of usable space between them. That makes recessed installation straightforward without any framing modifications.
In the Entryway
An entryway is one of the most underutilized spaces in a home, and a tall mirror with storage solves two problems at once. You get a full length mirror for a last check before leaving the house, and five shelves of concealed storage for things that tend to pile up near the front door — sunscreen, hand cream, keys, masks, small accessories.
Because BrumaTall is slim at 15" wide, it doesn't take up much wall space and works well in narrow entryways where a wider piece of furniture wouldn't fit. Mount it surface mounted on any finished wall — no special preparation needed.
In the Hallway
Hallways are often long, narrow, and short on storage. A tall wall-mounted cabinet fits naturally into that kind of space — it doesn't project far from the wall, it adds a mirror that makes the hallway feel larger and brighter, and it gives you hidden storage that doesn't clutter the space visually.
This works especially well in homes where the bathroom is small and storage is limited. Moving some of the overflow — extra towels, toiletries, cleaning supplies — to a hallway cabinet keeps the bathroom clear without sacrificing convenience.
In the Walk-In Closet
A walk-in closet is another natural fit. A full length mirror is usually the first thing people want in a closet, and BrumaTall gives you that plus five shelves of additional storage for accessories, folded items, or anything else that benefits from being behind a closed door.
The interior LED light, which activates automatically when you open the door, is particularly useful in a closet where overhead lighting isn't always great. The built-in interior lighting means you can see exactly what's on the shelves without squinting.
Recessed or Surface Mount — Anywhere
One of the practical advantages of BrumaTall is that it works with both installation methods in any of these locations. Surface mount is faster and works on any finished wall — drywall, plaster, or even over tile in some cases. Recessed installation gives a cleaner, more built-in look and works especially well in standard drywall walls where the 15" width fits between studs without any extra framing.

A Note on Height
At 63" tall, BrumaTall is the tallest medicine cabinet available in the US market. That height is intentional — it's what makes it work as a full length mirror and what gives it five full shelves of storage. It's designed to go on a wall with clearance from floor to ceiling, which most rooms have in abundance outside of the bathroom vanity area.
Final Thoughts
A tall wall-mounted storage cabinet with mirror doesn't have to live in the bathroom. In many homes, it's actually more useful somewhere else: an entryway where storage is scarce, a hallway that needs a mirror, or a walk-in closet that needs both. If you have a wall and a need for storage, BrumaTall is worth considering wherever that wall happens to be.
