Bathroom Furniture Design and Functionality
Author: dpinning // Category: Bathroom Accessories, Bathroom Cabinets, Small Bathroom DesignEach bathroom’s shape and design presents its own challenge with regard to your choice of bathroom furniture. Small bathrooms will have limited space for furniture and therefore storage may extend only to a compact unit for your toiletries or perhaps a wall hung cabinet. Bigger bathrooms can of course accommodate larger and more interesting furniture; choices can then include fitted furniture and freestanding units.
Low-level furniture will create a less cluttered look overall in an en-suite or cloakroom. The furniture needs to make the most of the space but it also must fit its purpose. Space saver furniture is an option; with depths of less than 200mm. Shades and Heritage offer a good range. Bathroom furniture should be light in hue in order to create the illusion of space and light.
Fitted bathroom furniture can serve both as storage and display units. All toiletries can be adequately stored out of sight to achieve an overall polished and minimalistic room. Of course, surfaces can be dressed with finishing touches such as candles or luxury hand-wash and lotions.
Freestanding units have long been popular across the continent and this style of bathroom furniture is now becoming more popular in the UK. The beauty of free-standing furniture is that you can mix and match, perhaps even adding a glass display unit to house your favourite pampering products. The furniture materials can be mixed and matched to achieve an eclectic, individual design.
If you have a small bathroom and require freestanding furniture, Shades make a tall rotating cabinet that encompasses storage with a full-length mirror, robe hook and towel rail to truly make the most of a compact space.
