Bathroom furniture

Deciding on bathroom furniture

Choosing the bathroom furniture is a complex decision, as you have already realised, because it is the protagonist of the room and because it has to satisfy several needs: 

• Help us to carry out the tasks we do in the bathroom efficiently;
• Resist the stresses to which it is subjected;
• Resist in a humid environment;
• It must be large enough to hold the products we usually keep in the bathroom. 

It should also match the surfaces, the chosen coverings, and be able to enhance the bathroom, giving a feeling of order and cleanliness. 

How many options on bathroom furniture?

When our customers come to the shop to buy bathroom furniture, they are faced with a number of choices, options that raise doubts or questions. Not least because you'll hear furniture described with terms such as:

• Monoblock;
• Shelf and basin;
• Suspended drawer and basin;
• Top with built-in basin;
• Soft-close doors;
• Hanging column to be placed next to the cabinet.

Bathroom furniture: wall-mounted or floor-standing?

This is probably the first question you will ask yourself when choosing a bathroom furniture... which is the best solution? A larger, roomy piece of furniture that extends from the floor, or a wall-mounted piece of furniture that lets you see the panelling but has less space for bathroom products?

We talk about this in depth in this article:  bathroom furniture: hanging or unsuspended?

Bathroom furniture: is it better closed or open?

Another option is to choose between a bathroom cabinet with completely closed compartments (with doors or drawers) to conceal the contents, or a bathroom cabinet with open compartments for easy access to everyday objects. See the link below for photos and our advice:

Bathroom furniture with doors or drawers?

Bathroom furniture also differs in the type of closure of the compartments, which can be with doors or with pull-out drawers. I can tell you straight away that the drawer is more convenient because it allows access to the contents from above, although it is important to invest in a good hinge otherwise it will have problems over time.

Bathroom cabinet with integrated or countertop washbasin?

There are different solutions for the bathroom furniture top:

• Top with a countertop basin;
• Top with a semi-recessed basin;
• Built-in washbasin.

We have described them in the link below, which will help you make your choice:

What material should be used for the top of the bathroom furniture?

The furniture top is the most stressed part. The market offers various possibilities including glass, Corian, wood, stoneware, marble, metal, laminate or lacquered. Some of these tops are super resistant, others present problems or limited durability. 

We analyse them in the article dedicated to bathroom furniture with porcelain stoneware tops, explaining the pros and cons of the various materials and why we prefer modern stoneware tops:

What is the best interior structure for the cabinet?

Many materials are used to make the 'shell', the interior of the bathroom furniture. 
These include:

• Solid wood
• Plywood
• MDF 
• Lacquered 
• Aluminium

Certainly the internal structure is less important than the top of the furniture, but in the long term, having a structure made of materials that can withstand moisture without problems is certainly a great advantage. MDF structures (a kind of plywood) covered in laminate, although the most popular type of bathroom furniture, do not have the ability to withstand humidity for long. 

Bathroom furniture: which style to choose?

There are so many styles you can choose from for your bathroom: from minimal to classic, from glamorous to industrial... The bathroom furniture should be consistent with the choices you make for the wall tiles and the rest of the bathroom.
