Modern bathroom furniture for a relaxing corner
The bathroom is a very private space in the house, where bathroom furniture helps to create a relaxing design. For this room, it is necessary to choose high-quality and moisture-resistant furniture, due to the presence of steam when washing and water droplets that can get on the surfaces. As a rule, the bathroom room is a little smaller than other rooms in the house, so the bathroom furniture should be selected in such a way as to visually increase the space, without installing too many unnecessary furniture or devices. Bathroom cabinets can be designed to neatly hide household appliances such as a washing machine or dryer.

Practical materials are extremely important when installing a bathroom
Bathroom furniture must be not only stylish, but also made of water-resistant materials. Changes in temperature and humidity in the air and water drops can affect the furniture, which is not suitable for use in such a space. Materials from which bathroom furniture is made can be: melamine chipboards, wood fiber boards, solid wood. Chipboards are the least resistant to moisture, and solid wood is the most ideal choice. Of course, these materials are usually decorated. There are certainly many finishing options, some of the most popular are: film coating, painted finish, acrylic finish. The film is the least durable, in case of moisture, air bubbles may appear. Acrylic finish is the most durable, it not only perfectly withstands temperature jumps, but is hard to scratch.
How to optically enlarge the bathroom?
It is possible to have a large bathroom in a private house, but what if you live in an apartment and the area dedicated to the bathroom is very small? First of all, think about what furniture, household appliances or devices must be in your bathroom. Are you dreaming of a bath or is a shower cabin enough for you? Will you place the washing machine in the bathroom or in the kitchen? How many people will be using the bathroom? After answering the main questions, you can create a preliminary vision of how the bathroom furniture could be arranged in the room. It is worth choosing more hanging than standing furniture, thus leaving as much free floor space as possible.
A large mirror is always a great choice to increase the space. Also, it is recommended to choose more glossy than matte surfaces. Reflective surfaces provide more light, thus creating the feeling of a cozier and larger space, while matte surfaces, on the contrary, absorb light. Well-thought-out lighting can also be a great lifesaver. Of course, smaller, but roomy bathroom furniture also improves the situation of a small room. Light colors are an ideal choice. White, beige or pastel furniture and wall decoration will give the space more sensory volume.
The bathroom mirror is one of the most important highlights
The shape of the mirror can enliven the interior and become its brightest detail. Round, oval, strictly angular, or maybe completely irregular shapes? None of us can imagine a bathroom without a mirror. These can be hung on the wall or built into cabinets. If the bathroom is small, a cabinet with a mirror integrated into it can be a great way to save space. If the bathroom is large and there is an opportunity to install cabinets separately, then the mirror can be separate and hung directly on the wall.
It is the mirror in the bathroom that is often used for various procedures where precision is required. For this reason, it is worth thinking about the proper lighting of the room. There are mirrors with built-in lighting that are perfect for putting on makeup.
What measurements do you need to know before buying bathroom furniture?
Of course, the area of the room as well as the height and width of the walls are the most important measurements that must be made even before traveling to choose furniture. Since the bathroom is often quite small, it is necessary to pay attention to the position of the door, its dimensions and which way the door opens. In the same way, if there are windows - what are their dimensions and which way do the windows open. If you have already planned a shower cabin with an opening door, you should also keep in mind the radius with which the shower cabin door opens.
It is recommended to first think about where the most important equipment will be: bathtub/shower cabin, toilet, washbasin, washing machine. Most of the time, when you start planning the installation of a bathroom, the room already has water and sewer pipes that dictate where certain devices must be installed. So, once you have fully decided on the installation location of the devices, you can start planning where the additional bathroom furniture will be placed. The washbasin is usually installed in a spacious cabinet, and a mirror with or without a cabinet can be hung above it. The washing machine and dryer can also be installed in furniture specially designed for them, so that the interior looks more integrated.
