Cupboard under the sink: usual and with a basket, 50, 60, 65, 70, 80 cm

In the interior of the bathroom furniture plays an important role. It is selected taking into account the style of decoration of the premises, as well as the requirements for practicality of use. In particular, when they are looking for a suitable bench under the washstand, first of all, evaluate the convenience, functionality and dimensions of the product. Let's look at what are the thumbs and what is important to remember when choosing them.

Cabinets in the bathroom differ in their design and installation method.

This is the most popular kind of pedestals under the washbasin, which is chosen for classical interiors. The advantages of this type of furniture in the bathroom are the ease of installation, the ability to move to another location, the variety of style solutions and sizes, and the ability to withstand a heavy washbasin( eg marble).

By the bottom of the curbstone under the sink is called the large dimensions of the product. However, this defect partially compensates for an impressive internal volume that can accommodate a large number of things.

Depending on the base, the pedestal can be mounted on legs or on a monolithic frame. The first option is more convenient, since it allows you to remove the space under the curbstone, protect the product from water ingress( for example, if it escapes from the washing machine's hose to the floor of the room), and also from heating when installing a warm floor.

As there are no legs in this pedestal, the design looks weightless and very stylish. In addition, suspended curbstones under the washbasin occupy less space than floor-standing ones. In addition, this pedestal is not afraid of flooding, its installation allows you to easily remove the floor or lay directly under the cabinet of communication.

The disadvantage of this type of cabinet is the difficulty of fastening. The product can be fixed not on every wall, especially if the washbasin is planned to be quite heavy. Also to the disadvantages of pendant models can be attributed to their relatively small internal volume.

The main advantage of this cabinet is its compact size, so it is chosen for a small bathroom. The product will help to engage the angle, which almost always remains free in the bathroom. Looks like a corner cabinet for a washbasin, stylish enough and original, adding space and sophistication to the interior with such furniture.

The corner stand for the washbasin can be floor, as well as suspended. The first option is much easier to install, and for mounting the suspension structure, you need to have some professional skills.

This color is often chosen for an oversized bathroom, as it visually adds space to a small room. This also causes the popularity of other light colors, for example, cream or milk.

The dark colored pedestals are gaining popularity, but are recommended only to the owners of spacious bathrooms. The dark, luxurious pedestal in this case will be a bright accent in the room. It is undesirable to install a dark-colored cabinet in a small bath, if you do not want to visually reduce the room even more and make its appearance more gloomy.

Cabinets of this shade are often chosen for baths, in the design of the walls were used yellow, beige, cream, lemon, caramel colors. In such an interior, a wooden pedestal with a natural shade will look harmonious and warm.

The range of commercially available pedestals under the washbasin is wide enough. Let's look at the main dimensions and their features.

This model of the pedestal is ergonomic and is often chosen for the interior in the style of minimalism. A compact washbasin is completed with a curbstone with spacious shelves. Although the thumbs of this size are the smallest, their functionality is quite high. A tidy pedestal with a width of 50 cm can have swing doors and drawers. Some manufacturers have added their products to the laundry basket.

This pedestal is more functional than a product with a width of 50 cm. Its installation perfectly saves space. This pedestal takes up a minimum of space, but it gives maximum benefit. It helps to hide unsightly pipes and cleaners, making the space of the room more comfortable. Modern pedestals with a width of 55 cm are represented by various variations - from the most modern models of modern to the never-losing classic. The purchase of such a pedestal can be considered the best choice for an oversized bathroom.

In a cabinet of this size it is convenient to hide everything that is usually stored in the bathroom. Although the dimensions of this pedestal model can not be called very large, but its capacity is excellent. Shelves of 60 cm width are quite extensive for household chemicals and shower accessories. Since this pedestal can be called the "golden mean" between the tiniest and the largest models, their assortment on the market is really huge.

Products of this size can be called a comfortable standard. They are very convenient and practical, and they are represented by a variety of models - floor, corner, hanging. It is enough to choose the appropriate option, and the space of your bathroom will be used with the maximum of use. It is also worth noting that the pedestals of this size are represented by the largest number of design ideas.

Products of this size are loved by designers for the opportunity to realize their creative potential. It is easy to change both design and configuration with such curbstones. At the same time, the most practical are called combined pedestals, in which there are also neat boxes, and graceful doors.

These pedestals are selected in a spacious bathroom, while looking for not only a functional washstand model, but also an important element of the interior. Cabinet size 75 cm wide enough, and for their production use high-quality moisture-proof materials and corrosion-resistant fittings.

80 cm

This model is the most spacious and most often chosen for a large family, because in such a pedestal you can select a shelf or box for each household. Household furniture and laundry basket will easily fit inside the 80 cm wide pedestal.

• Evaluate how practical and robust the materials from which the cabinet is made. Remember that the bathroom is a room with a rather aggressive environment, so for the furniture selected in this room should be provided protection from moisture, mold, bacteria, temperature changes.
• Look at this version of the cabinet, which will harmoniously approach the interior of the room. For example, if all plumbing and other furniture has a streamlined shape, then the cabinet in the form of a strict rectangle will be an unsuccessful choice. If you have designed a bathroom for classics, having received a luxurious interior with woodcarving and gold finish, then the product in the style of minimalism will be absolutely inappropriate.
• Carefully review and evaluate the cabinet hardware. The best choice will be chrome metal legs and pens. If you buy a model with an accessory made of chrome plated plastic or gold-plated, know that it has a high risk of losing its original appeal during the first months of operation.
• If you are looking for a cabinet that has a colorful coating, make sure that the paint is flat before the purchase, and there are no smudges.
• In a bathroom with a warm floor, do not purchase a cabinet that has a base. In such conditions, models with legs are more preferable, the bottom of which will not heat up. In addition, cleaning under this cabinet will be easier.
• To evaluate the functionality of the thumbs follows personal preferences. Some people need to have a laundry basket in the curbstone, others are interested in the possibility of regulating the shelves in height, the third one wants to move the cube to another place if desired. Determine which functions of the thumbs for the washbasin are important to you, and which are insignificant, and then choose the suitable model.

If you are doing the bathroom repair, then a good option is to install the pedestal and washbasin on the place where the sink was previously located. Nevertheless, overhaul allows to carry out a mini-redevelopment and to put a washbasin with a curbstone in any convenient place.

Having predetermined the size of the future pedestal taking into account the parameters of the washbasin, then the works will be very similar to the manufacturing of an ordinary cabinet. First we make the upper and lower belt, to which we fix the side walls, reinforcing them with metal angles. Separately from the board with a jig saw we cut the front cover, adjusting it so that the washbasin "sat" without large gaps. Next, we make doors out of the boards and drill or hollow out the grooves under them.

Do not forget to firmly fix the cabinet on the wall. For shelves inside the cabinet you can use waterproof plywood. When all the details are well adjusted, it will remain to grind the wood and varnish it. If desired, on the one side of our curbstone, an additional installation of the bookcase is possible, if you attach its shelves to a separate frame, and then to the side wall of the curbstone.

After verifying that the water supply and sewerage system is correct, unpack the components, among which are the handles, the key and the screws. Often the set is supplemented with an assembly scheme that tells you the order of the actions. Make sure that all the screws are tightened tightly, since by installing the sink, tightening the screws will no longer be available.

Put the washbasin on the curb, and then, after connecting the necessary communications to it, the cage should be moved to the planned place. After making notes on the wall at the locations of the fixing bolts, the bar is pushed aside and holes are made in the marked places. By connecting the cabinet to the wall, you will only have to connect the water and the sewer, making sure that there are no leaks.
