Bathroom Wall Cabinet Ideas And Arrangement
Gone are those days when all you saw in the name of wall-cabinets were wooden doors to hide alcoves built within the walls. In modern times, bathroom cabinets are usually mounted on the outside of the wall. These wall cabinets have essentially become an important aspect of bathroom décor.
With homeowners eager to leave an impression of their distinctive tastes and styles in home décor, they have come up with different ideas for bathroom cabinets. Thus, you can opt for a single door, double door or even a triple door bathroom cabinet. Wall mounted bathroom cabinets can have hinged doors or have sliding doors.
Neatly arranged open shelves do look good; but as said, you will have to be very particular about organizing the things on a regular basis. Moreover, open shelves have another disadvantage – the supplies and things you keep on them are spoiled because of shower steam.
You can experiment with bathroom cabinet ideas and have some open shelving along with the closed cabinets (with the open shelves at a safe distance from the shower-stall). You may opt for a glass front cabinet.
Many people have mirrors installed to the cabinet that holds all their toiletries as well as other daily use appliances like hair dryers and razors, etc. This is indeed a sensible consideration instead of investing a lump sum amount on a bathroom sink vanity cabinet.
Arrangement of bathroom wall cabinets is to be done keeping the visual impact in mind. The most common arrangement is horizontal shelving as it gives even small baths a rather spacious feel. A mix-n-match of horizontal and vertical cabinets makes standard-sized baths look cool.
