How to choose the right bathroom furniture

Regardless of the size of the bathroom, it must be furnished with furniture. After all, you need somewhere to store all these tubes and bottles, combs, hair dryer, etc.

What does bathroom furniture include?

1. Set for the bathroom( "moydodyr").
2. Cabinets-pencil cases.
3. Shelving.
4. Shelves.
5. Container for dirty laundry. Hanger for towels and bathrobes.

Moydodyr kit

Such furniture in the bathroom, often satisfies all the needs of the owner, but it is suitable only for spacious rooms. The headset, usually, consists of:

• mirrors;
• shelves under the mirror;
• cabinets with built-in sink;
• hooks and beams for towels.

Mirror

Bathroom furniture is usually equipped with a mirror of about 60 cm. But the mirrors can be of all shapes and sizes, depending on the area and your preferences. Not bad, if the mirror is equipped with local lights.

Shelf under the mirror

This piece of furniture is needed for placing glasses with toothbrushes, bottles with shampoo, jars with creams, etc.

Cabinet with a sink

A curbstone, as a rule, is equipped with a mass of small boxes and compartments for storing small things( combs, hairpins, cotton disks, etc.).Small doors do not take up much space when opened, and additional shelves can be placed on their inside. The curbstone can stand directly on the floor( with a socle), or on legs. The first are the most popular due to their ease of installation. In the second case, it is easier to do cleaning and better ventilation( in conditions of high humidity it is important).This option is preferable in the rooms, where the distribution of the water pipe goes on the floor. There are also suspension models, but they are not so easy to install, for this it is necessary to attract the appropriate specialist.

Container for dirty laundry

If there is room in the bathroom, the laundry cabinet must be there. Today there are special models hanging over the washing machine. There you can store laundry, powder and other small items necessary for washing.

Basic requirements for bathroom furniture

1. Hygiene. Surfaces must have water-repellent properties and are easy to clean.
2. Practicality and relevance. Furniture should be comfortable and useful. It should not interfere and block the output. Massive and bulky items will only come in handy in spacious rooms.
3. Resistant to moisture and temperature extremes. Given the microclimate of the bathroom, all pieces of furniture should be impregnated with water repellent or created from raw materials, which is not afraid of water.
4. Stylistic matching. As in any other place, the bathroom furniture should be part of the overall interior composition, not a foreign body.

Solutions for a small bathroom

If the headset in your bathroom just does not fit, then it is better to buy bathroom furniture from individual items.

• When choosing the shape of the shelves( better than the hinged ones) and their number, allow for free space on the walls.

• Although the most common bathroom furniture has a 90 cm wide cabinet, no one prevents you from ordering a locker of the size that fits in your space. For a small bathroom can come up a narrow rack or a pencil case on the wheels. Such a thing you can easily move, if necessary.

• Corner drawers and cabinets are an excellent solution if there is a need for space saving.

• To save space, you can also pick up bedside tables with sliding doors.
• Mirror for a compact bathroom is also better to buy separately( as well as a shelf under it), focusing on individual sizes. Another great idea is to purchase a hanging cabinet with mirrored doors.

• If there is no space for the curbstone under the sink, you can equip it with a table top with towel holders on the sides. These countertops today can be made of glass, artificial stone, fiberboard and wood. Do not be afraid of wood, it is impregnated with such special water-repellent composition for such furniture items. An example of such bathroom furniture can be seen in the photo below.

• Bathroom screens are another option for small size. On this screen you can place household chemicals or use for other purposes.

• You can replace the laundry cabinet with a wicker basket or a plastic container. By the way, there are angular variations, very successful for small rooms.

What should I check carefully when choosing furniture in a hygiene room?

1. Examine the furniture cover. It should be evenly colored, without stains, gaps and scratches.
2. The fittings must be made of stainless metal materials. Plastic accessories quickly breaks, with yellow coating - creeps.
3. Inspect the sink for cracks. Slightly tap on the sink. A dull sound, published at the same time, may indicate the presence of internal microcracks. If the sound is sonorous - a shell of good quality.
4. The shade of furniture should be combined with the color of wallpaper, tiles, flooring and other objects indoors or vice versa, contrasting( based on the concept of interior design).

And a couple of nuances!

1. If the bathroom is equipped with a "warm floor" system, give preference to the furniture on the legs. This will prevent the parts from drying out and the furniture will last longer.
2. The curbstone with the sink should not be close to the wall. Leave a gap of at least 3 cm, then furniture will suffer less from poor ventilation in conditions of high humidity.

We really hope that now you know what kind of bathroom furniture you need. And this is already half the battle. Now you can safely go to the store!
