Things To Consider When Buying Things For Bathroom

The bathroom is an essential stop on the way to a busy day and the place where a hectic day is finally concluded. It should be a quiet sanctuary, however, the presence of disorder and disarray can make relaxation challenging.

Adding some luxurious storage solutions in the bathroom can bring back a sense of peace to your routine and enhance the overall look of the space in a general sense. Here is a guide to what you should take into account when selecting the right storage solutions for your bathroom.

Available Space

Feel free to explore and apply a mixture of the many storage options available like cabinets, drawers, shelves and baskets.

Try utilising the full space, as this is likely limited, and bathroom items are many and varied.

Without having appropriate storage for all the categories of items you may need at hand, the space can quickly become cluttered. Countertop baskets can organise smaller items you use every day.

Mirrored surfaces on cabinets can serve not only to create a sense of space but also to conceal large storage cabinets.

The average height of a bathroom can vary, but try to designate the entire height, depth and width of one wall for storage and you’ll soon find that there is ample space for smaller items.

Materials

The material utilised for bathroom storage cabinets needs to be resistant to heat and moisture as the space will have prolonged exposure to both. Consequently, bathroom storage units must be constructed from materials specifically designed for longevity and durability.

Wood, laminated engineered wood, plastic and glass are all excellent options. Wood is naturally durable and comes in a variety of designs, making it a versatile choice for any number of different aesthetic styles. Laminate, on the other hand, mimics the appearance of wood while requiring significantly less maintenance, thus appealing to those seeking a stylish and highly customisable option. Meanwhile, glass storage options provide transparency, allowing for a clear view of the contents within cabinets and drawers, all the while contributing to a sleek and uncluttered appearance.

Aesthetics of the Bathroom

The storage in bathrooms should carry through the overall aesthetic, and reflect your style.

Design elements such as wall tiles, colour schemes and lighting are all available in designs specifically meant to withstand a bathroom environment, and there is virtually no limit to the variety that can be found at a high-end furniture and design studio.

Aesthetics influence more than just the look of a room, but can also have a significant impact on how welcoming or comfortable the space is to use.

Glaring light and reflective surfaces can feel sterile, while too dim lighting with dark surfaces can make the space feel cramped or dingy.

Make sure that the aesthetic appeal is geared toward the best use of light and creating visual space.

Individual Needs of Family Members

Last but not least, the needs of individual family members should be taken into consideration as storage space is planned, and located within the room.

A family bathroom that sees more footfall will need more bathroom storage than a guest room, for example. Items meant to be accessed by children should be accommodated within reach, and towel rails should be well within reach, and large enough to accommodate enough towels for every person sharing a bathroom, as another example.

By carefully considering these factors, you can transform your bathroom into a stylish and functional oasis tailored to your needs.

So, take that next step—start planning today for a bathroom that not only meets your standards but exceeds your expectations.

Expert Tips

Here are some tips from our designers on how to get started with your bathroom design:

Utilise Vertical Space

While each bathroom boasts its unique design, utilising tall and semi-tall cabinets presents an effective solution for any layout. These cabinets come in various sizes—both narrow and wide, as well as tall and moderately tall. Consequently, bathroom cabinets can be as versatile in their footprint as needed, requiring minimal or extensive floor space while still offering substantial storage capacity, regardless of their floor space.

Installing Mirror Cabinets

Less is more is the idea behind these stunning mirror cabinets. These cabinets are available in a variety of styles like elongated mirrors on sliding doors, floating design, extendable, edge-lit and smart mirrors among others. A mirror cabinet is an advanced decorative element designed to increase your sense of space while functioning as a versatile storage solution for toiletries and grooming necessities.

Open Shelves Below the Bathroom Sink

Open shelving serves as an effective method for transforming everyday items into decorative features while promoting an organized environment. Additionally, these shelves offer practical storage solutions for larger items, such as extra towels, which might otherwise occupy closet space. A strategic combination of drawers and open shelves, complemented by wicker baskets for smaller essentials like cosmetics and personal care products, allows for optimal organization. The open shelves can be utilised to neatly store towels and clothing, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Maximise the Utility of Corners

Corner bathroom cabinets come in a variety of styles, and if you are contemplating their addition, it is essential to first determine whether you prefer the cabinet to harmonize with the overall bathroom design or if you want to use it as an area for personal expression.

Opting for the latter can result in a corner cabinet that showcases an eclectic aesthetic or integrates vibrant and unique design elements. Utilising bold colours such as bright yellows, reds, or striking blues can create a significant visual statement in the space. Why not take a small opportunity to add some flair to your space?

Bathroom Vanities

Bathroom vanities serve as the foundation of both sophistication and practicality within any bathroom setting, effortlessly combining effective storage solutions with appealing design elements. Whether you are enhancing your current bathroom or designing a new space from scratch, the selection of an ideal bathroom vanity is of utmost importance.

Some vanities have opulent features such as magnifying mirrors, ambient lighting and conveniently located built-in outlets. These components work in unison to create a grooming experience that is not only efficient but also distinctively refined.
