subject: Wooden Cabinets: Stunning Bathroom Design And Sufficient Storage [print this page] Less is moreLess is more. That has been the prevailing bathroom furniture credo for some years now. Recently, however, designers and bathroom furniture suppliers have been reacting to customer demand for durable, traditional wooden bathroom furniture, which has resulted in a huge range of beautifully crafted pieces, from classical design to sleek modernism, to suit any and every style preference.
In so far as your dcor or colour scheme is concerned, there are many options for wooden bathroom furniture. From lighter woods such as ash or pine, through to darker, more traditional finishes, such as walnut or oak, there are pieces available to suit all preferences and tastes. Recent fashion has leaned towards lighter wood tones, but darker shades can lend a bathroom a rich, classical feel. Why not examine a few different pieces, and decide which best suits your personal plans for your bathroom.
The durability of wooden bathroom furniture has also come on in leaps and bounds. Modern pieces will usually come pre-treated with sealants and waterproof coatings, so even though your furniture will be subjected to all the usual steam and splashes, a simple wipe down every now and then will keep everything looking good as new.
Although the term bathroom furniture may initially appear daunting to those of us who arent blessed with large bathrooms, there are many elegantly designed storage solutions available that wont take up too much available floor space. One effective method for maximising storage area without intruding into the room is to fit cabinets around your current furnishings. A vanity unit beneath your basin or a combination unit joining basin and toilet can provide ample storage, a beautiful design feature and will only occupy floor space that would ordinarily go unused.
A large, wall-mounted mirror will always help to add light and a feeling of space to any bathroom, so why not incorporate a wooden framed, mirrored cabinet? Easy access to your everyday bathroom essentials, but discretely hidden away. Alternatively, there are many large bathroom mirrors available with wooden shelving built in around their perimeter, allowing each bathroom user to have their own shelf in an elegant, practical arrangement.
If you have the space available, a larger vanity unit, or a tall stand-alone storage unit can be simple but highly effective storage options. Whilst giving your bathroom the aesthetic warmth of wooden furniture, a larger storage unit will allow you to keep surfaces free from clutter, resulting in a more streamlined, relaxed environment overall.
A larger statement piece of furniture can also be a focal point for the dcor of your bathroom: If you choose to go with a basic, minimal approach to wall and floor decoration, a larger wooden storage unit can tie the room together.
Remember, there are so many different options to consider when choosing bathroom furniture, from light woods to dark woods, different sizes and shapes, to myriad combinations of doors and handles.
