The design of the bathroom is becoming increasingly important as it is a place for daily relaxation and regeneration after a full day's work. Bathroom furniture is designed to organize the interior and give the arrangement a stylish character. Lacquered looks very modern, while wooden warms the room, making it more cosy.
What furniture and what material is worth choosing?
There are many different types of bathroom furniture available on the market, so before choosing the right ones, it is worth considering your needs and planning the available space well. Currently, sink cabinets are very popular. Among them are hanging models, those on legs, or those with floor-reaching enclosures. The interior of the cabinet is very important. Shelves are perfect for storing larger bottles of detergents, while drawers (especially those equipped with organizers) are ideal for small cosmetics and accessories. Attention should also be paid to the siphon, because if it is mounted differently than at the wall, a cabinet with a cutout will be needed, which will take up some space. There is also the option of choosing a ready-made cabinet model integrated with the sink. To increase the amount of storage space, it's worth opting for additional cabinets or columns that are ideal for storing towels or accessories like a mop or broom. The offer also includes furniture with mirrored fronts, open shelves, or built-in laundry baskets.
When choosing bathroom furniture, attention should be paid to the material. It should not only be resistant to water but also to warm air or chemicals. The best are cabinets made of MDF board covered with polyurethane lacquer or wood. In the case of the latter, it is worth securing the furniture with lacquer or oil. It is important to leave some space behind the cabinet, as this prevents mold from forming. Attention should also be paid to the handles and hinges, which should be made of materials resistant to corrosion.
Styling of bathroom furniture
Currently, bathroom furniture more and more often resembles room furniture in appearance. This is because when arranging a bathroom, we expect a cosy room with ideal conditions for daily relaxation. The equipment is available in many different colour versions. Wooden furniture in various shades is gaining more and more popularity. They are perfectly suited to Scandinavian interiors, and their unique texture makes each room seem warmer. Extremely modern are MDF furniture, which can be found in almost any colour. Thanks to the water-resistant lacquer coating, they are not only resistant to external factors but also gain a beautiful gloss, which brightens the interior. White furniture is the most frequently chosen, as it guarantees the sterile look we expect in bathrooms. However, an interesting idea is to enliven the arrangement by adding one with colour to neutral cabinets. An original effect is also provided by furniture with a mirrored surface. It is worth adjusting the interior design by choosing the right lighting, furniture solutions, or color schemes, so that it forms a cohesive whole with the rest of the apartment.
Design ideas for small bathrooms
The bathroom space is not always large enough to arrange the interior freely. However, this does not mean there is no way to provide adequate storage space. In such rooms, hanging furniture fits perfectly. They not only seem light but also very often provide a lot of storage space for accessories. They often have a built-in mirror or lighting, which not only saves space but also costs related to furnishing the apartment. It is also worth considering a countertop or seated sink, which has space for cleaning agents below the cabinet and around the tap. Choosing white or light furniture in another colour will optically enlarge the bathroom. A similar effect can be achieved by opting for furniture with mirrored fronts. A good idea is also the installation of shelves above the bathtub or in the niche that arises when building the frame for a wall-hung toilet. This will allow you to functionally use unused space.
