Bathroom cabinetry used to mean nothing more than the catchall medicine-cabinet-behind-the-mirror. Today, manufacturers have come up with a variety of ways to make your bathroom storage more stylish as well as functional. Oftentimes, it seems as if storage space is a mere afterthought in the grand scheme of bathroom planning. Now, with the incorporation of easily assembled and installed bathroom cabinets, you can organize your bathroom, as well as highlight its design. Bathroom wall cabinets also help reduce clutter and free up floor space.
Variety of Materials
Most bathroom cabinetry ranges in size from 9 inches up to 48 inches, and comes in a variety of finishes, such as cherry, oak, hickory, and maple; however, many people today are choosing laminate bathroom cabinets as an alternative to wood because of its durability and cleanliness (not to mention price). The term 'laminate' simply refers to the substance the material is fabricated from, such as melamine, thermofoil, or wood veneer. These finishes are available for bathroom wall cabinets as well as freestanding cabinets.
Your Personal Style
As for style, many bathroom cabinets are available with wainscoting detail, chrome accents, glass and Plexiglas doors, top shelves, and towel racks, and can come equipped with satin nickel, brass, and chrome hardware accompaniments. From traditional to contemporary and everything in between, it's not hard to find something to match your bathroom's style and storage needs.
Custom and semi custom bathroom cabinets are also an option if you have a little more time and money to dish out.
Some different storage ideas include:
- Sink cabinets
- Space savers
- Wall cabinets
- Floor cabinets
- Accents such as hampers or wicker storage
