If you are in the
process of remodeling or building a new bathroom you have millions of
attractive and practical options for the design of your bathroom cabinet
needs. Many people use old fashioned medicine chest cabinets, which are
built so that they have a door on the them that is actually the bathroom
mirror, and when you open the mirrored door to the cabinet, you find
shelves that are usually deep enough just to put bottles of medicine and
shampoos and that sort of thing. The advantage is that this space saving
cabinet hides all those cluttery things behind the mirror so that it is
out of sight and out of mind, without taking up any unnecessary space in
what can often be the most space limited room in the house.
Others go for larger bathroom cabinet systems, if they have enough room in
their bathrooms, and these can be made as built in shelves, if you plan
ahead and install them when you build the walls of the room. This is a
very stylish and convenient design. You can put doors over the shelves or
you can just leave them open. And many people compromise, by putting
curtains of colorful fabric, or even plain white fabric, over them to
disguise the stuff that is stored on the shelves.
Some people don't use actual bathroom cabinet cabinetry, but they use
other things, like old trunks, crates, boxes, or baskets. Sometimes
baskets work well because you can roll up washrags and towels into small
rolls and then place several into a basket for a cool and convenient way
to store them. And you can use laundry hampers and baskets for used towels
or for storing items like extra soap and tissue. If you have a closet, you
can remove the door to give the illusion of a larger room, and this often
works just fine in a bathroom, where you don't mind having the contents of
the closet shown, because it is mostly towels and bathrobes and such.
One of the best places for bathroom cabinet design is under the sink,
where there is space only occupied by a couple of ugly drain pipes going
to the sink. Vanities are a great way to convert this kind of space into
cabinets, and at the same time add some dressed up look to your bathroom's
unused spaces.
