Sidekick Side-tables: Lesser Known Types Of Bathroom Furniture

After around a decade of sparse, austere minimalism enjoying poll position in the

world of bathroom dcor, designers and suppliers have responded to the demands of the public and now bathroom furniture is back, in a big way.

There are three main types of bathroom cabinet that have always been the most reliably popular and in demand: The fitted vanity basin unit, the wall-mounted cabinet and the tall, narrow space-saving shelving unit known as the Tallboy. These three, in all of their various guises are yet again grabbing all the headlines within this latest resurgence in the popularity of bathroom furniture. However, there are a huge range of lesser known but equally stylish and practical options available, so lets take this opportunity to examine a few here.

Washstands are an oft overlooked furniture option, but they can be surprisingly versatile bathroom additions. Undrilled counter tops mean that washstands can be used as a side table or small storage cupboard in your bathroom, providing a handy storage area, and there are both closed and open-faced models available.

Washstands that are pre-drilled can make wonderfully simple pedestals for a basin, with sufficient surplus surface area on which to place a few everyday necessities, such as hand soap or toothbrushes. There are models available in all manner of finish, but a natural wood look, whether in a dark or light tone, will create a simple, elegant furniture solution.

Wall hung vanity shelves are another simple and effective way to go. By being mounted, they leave no footprint and occupy no floor space, which is ideal for smaller bathrooms and cloakrooms, and even for those of us who use wheelchairs. By being open plan, they are not only easy to access and to keep clean, but are also ideal for a bathroom aesthetic that is striving for a stripped back minimal appeal, but which requires fixtures and fittings that are both practical and blend in seamlessly.

Storage units that are freestanding or wall-mounted but simply dont enter into any of the categories listed above are also available in a huge variety of styles, shapes and dimensions. As discreet and stylish ways to conceal the bathroom basics, such as cleaning supplies, these units can be tucked away into an empty corner, or placed more prominently to become another integral part of your dcor.

There are always going to be the larger and perhaps more obvious furniture options that will remain not only the big sellers, but the first port of call for most potential bathroom renovators as well. These lesser known but highly practical options should not be forgotten, though. Have a click around and see for yourself.
