What to keep in mind when choosing bathroom furniture?
We have already talked about all the other components of a bathroom, but have so far left out bathroom furniture, which is just as essential in bathroom design as the walls and floorings. When bathroom furniture is in harmony with the overall design, we get to have a creative, enjoyable, comfortable, and relaxing bathroom design. Your choice of bathroom furniture is therefore vital in your bathroom design.
Just like in any other bathroom component, there are many parameters to choosing bathroom furniture. First, make sure to lay out your needs clearly for the most accurate choice. These criteria will include the number of household members, whether the bathroom in question is an en suite for parents only or a shared one, and how big the bathroom is. Choosing the best option for our needs when making the purchase will ensure more comfortable use in the future. So, how do you know what you need?
What to keep in mind when purchasing a bathroom cabinet?
Bathroom furniture often includes various modules such as washbasin cabinets, tall cabinets, upper modules, or mirrors. There are hundreds, even thousands of bathroom cabinet models today, and it is tedious work to choose.
Once you decide what sort of bathroom furniture you need to meet all your criteria, the next step is the design. First, choose a style that best suits the measurements of your bathroom. Smaller bathroom cabinets in larger bathroom spaces will not look good as the room will look empty. It will not be functional either. On the contrary, larger size bathroom furniture in smaller and narrower bathrooms will only make the room smaller and entirely render it impractical as there will not be any room to move. Choosing the wrong size bathroom cabinets might result in years worth of regret.
Choose the correct bathroom furniture
Once you choose the right size for your bathroom comes the design. Opt for bathroom cabinets corresponding to the interior design of your bathroom for a holistic look. You can look for colors, materials, and design trends in line with those used in the walls and floorings of your bathroom.
Installing an avant-garde piece of furniture in a white-hued minimalistic bathroom, for instance, will not be quite elegant or harmonious to the eye. Instead, the minimalistic bathroom design that is the popular design trend of recent years will look best with bathroom cabinets with white-hued covers or wooden elements with sharp edges and wider storage space for less cluster in view.
What to keep in mind when ordering a bespoke bathroom cabinet?
When we fail to find bathroom furniture to suit our needs and desires, the next best option is to order bespoke bathroom cabinets. Bathroom cabinets should be in complete coherence with the rest of your bathroom design, and that does not only mean the outside view. It also means that the materials of the bathroom cabinets should correspond with the overall design and environment of the bathroom. For instance, opting for a traditional piece of furniture in a modern bathroom decorated with black floor and wall tiles will curb the desired modern effect.
As a rule of thumb, bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen furniture are to be durable. Bathrooms and kitchens are called wet areas in architecture. The furniture to be installed in these areas need to be water-resistant as it will have to withstand humidity and steam from water use.
Cabinets made of MDF and chipboard are bathroom cabinet models that are resistant to steam and moisture, which are constantly present in bathrooms. Laminate MDF and Laminate Particle Board bathroom cabinets, on the other hand, can be used for a long time without being damaged by humidity. Protective paint on bathroom cabinets is another advantage in product life. Water-resistant protective paint is suggested on bathroom furniture.
What should the interiors of bathroom cabinets look like?
Makeup items and personal hygiene items should take up space in correspondence with the number of household members. Oftentimes, washbasin cabinets are allocated to cleaning materials. Given that the variety of cleaning materials increases with the continuously advancing technology, this space should be sufficiently wide to hold all cleaning materials.
There should also be a dedicated laundry space in the bathroom. If the available space in the readymade bathroom cabinets does not seem sufficient to you, you can create your own design when commissioning bathroom cabinets for a tidier look.
How should the bathroom cabinet design be?
Constantly changing design trends mean endless options in bathroom cabinets. First, you must decide on the bathroom design you'd like. Such as which style you are going for; neoclassical style, which adds a touch of elegance simply by its presence, or minimalistic style, which emits serenity with its simplicity? The avant-garde that is the embodiment of luxury, or the timeless favorite rustic? Once you decide on the design style, you can then choose the bathroom furniture models with the textures and surfaces of the style.
Harmony of colors
All elements within a room should be in harmony for a coherent design. Color is the most important element of visual harmony. Choosing harmonious pairs of colors will help create unique, creative, and pleasant designs in your bathrooms.
