The bathroom is a place where water is predominant. The shower, bath, toilet, sink, and steam from temperature changes mean that every element within should have waterproof properties. Therefore, when renovating or outfitting a new bathroom, we try to buy all accessories that are resistant to water. This applies to both fixtures and furniture. Besides that, we also consider the appearance and functionality of the individual elements. Size also matters due to the spaciousness of the room we are decorating.
Where to Buy Bathroom Furniture?
There are many options. Cheap furniture can be purchased in large hardware stores. Their prices range from 100 to 350 złotys on average. The selection is quite large, and you can create a set that will serve you well for little money. However, remember that cheap does not necessarily mean quality. Therefore, it's important to thoroughly check every element of the furniture during purchase. Joints, hinges, guides, handles - all should be inspected by us.
Another solution is to buy custom-made furniture. This is particularly good for small bathrooms, where there is little space to manage. When purchasing such furniture, you have the opportunity to make the most of the space you have for this type of product. The company that manufactures custom furniture will adjust them perfectly for you. It is certainly a more expensive investment, but the price usually includes room measurement for the furniture, assembly, and delivery.
You can also opt for furniture from well-known manufacturers. They have quality certifications, are generally waterproof, and are solidly crafted. With the purchase of such furniture, you will likely receive a product warranty. Furthermore, you have a choice of very interesting, modern models in various colours.
What Furniture to Choose and in What Arrangement?
Lately, hanging furniture has been predominant in Polish bathrooms. They are not only very functional but also add modernity and lightness to the interior. However, this does not change the fact that you still have a choice of furniture on legs, which generally have adjustable height options. The choice of cabinet largely depends on the size of our room and our aesthetic preferences.
When you've decided on a particular type, remember to place the furniture well in your bathroom. It depends on our convenience in moving around and using the cabinets installed. For example, the space at the sink should be very well organised. Hairstyling, brushing teeth, makeup - everything should be within reach. Additionally, a mirror, which can be built into the cabinet or standalone. The first option offers extra space, for example, for cosmetics. Other furniture like a tower or additional cabinet should not clutter the room but complement it. So, before you make a purchase, try to familiarise yourself with sample arrangements, sketch your bathroom and see how it will look according to your idea. You may also consider ordering just a design to help with your decision.
Since furniture is a purchase for years, do not be guided by fleeting, seasonal trends. Base our choice on an emerging design that will matter among bathroom decors in the future. This way, we can enjoy modernity and a 'trendy' bathroom for years.
And Now, Cleaning!
Everyday dirt, dust, lime scale, or stains from cosmetics are a natural sign of bath use. If we only have quality furniture, there's no need to worry about cleaning them. Generally, products are resistant to dust and dirt buildup, and a wipe with a damp cloth or sponge is enough. For more stubborn stains, you can use a mild detergent. Then, you must wipe the area with warm water and dry it to prevent streaks.
Do not use cleaning powders, as they can scratch our furniture. We should not use cleaning agents based on chlorine or other strong corrosive substances either. They will damage our furniture and the colour may fade in the cleaned area.
