It’s simple to forget about the simple bathroom cabinet. In a world of bathroom furniture that combines a WC or a basin with some cleverly capacious storage space, or provides you with a home for your dirty laundry within a sleek row of matching units, a cabinet just holds things. But it does its job admirably.
There are a wide range of bathroom cabinets out there, to coordinate or to contrast with your other bathroom furniture, and they have so many design features it’ll make your head spin.
They come as single, double, and even triple doored varieties, and in all shapes and sizes. There are huge overhead cabinets, and diminutive units which will sit happily in a tiny space left by your other bathroom furniture. Bathroom cabinets can be wall mounted or floor standing. They can fill a space on a flat wall or slot neatly into a corner, making an inconvenient space invaluable. They can be positioned above your WC unit, bringing otherwise wasted space back into service. Position an above toilet cabinet at around five feet high to allow ease of access to the contents, but keep the corners sufficiently out of the way to guard against accidental injury.
A tall floor standing or wall mounted bathroom cabinet will accommodate a lot of items easily, while taking up as small room as possible: so if you’re really small of space but have a huge need for extra storage, fit one of these wonders into a corner and you’ll barely know it’s there. Dual purpose pieces, which can combine internal storage space with shelving and a towel rail or towel hooks, hang from the wall over the bathroom radiator for warm, dry towels.
The doors of your new bathroom cabinet can take many forms: sliding or hinged, round, square, or rectangular. Cabinets, like other bathroom furniture can be manufactured in a range of materials such as solid wood, MDF, chipboard, plywood, plastic, or metal. Mirrored cabinets are useful in smaller spaces where they reflect light and enlarge your room, especially if you don’t also have room for a wall hung mirror.
In any style, to complement any existing bathroom furniture, and to cater to a range of requirements: whatever you need, there’s a bathroom cabinet out there for you.
