The owners of an apartment are most often judged not by the situation in this apartment and not by the high cost of furniture in it (although, of course, not without it). The final opinion is developed when guests enter the bathroom and the bathroom. The bathroom has long ceased to be just a washing room in which the necessary hygiene procedures are carried out. This room is now a corner of tranquility and relaxation from the hustle and bustle around. Therefore, cosiness and order should reign here, as in any other room of your housing. Unfortunately, this room can not always please its owners with space. We have to go to many tricks to place all the necessary attributes, household appliances and, of course, furniture in the bathroom.
Such bathroom furniture as a wall cabinet helps to comfortably place the necessary things without taking up a lot of space. In such a cabinet, everything is always at hand, which is very important during bathroom procedures.

Corner wall cabinet for the bathroom is not traumatic due to the lack of protruding parts, especially corners. Installation (suspension) of this model does not carry any difficulties. Of the negative aspects in the operation of such a model, its very small capacity and not very convenient corner shelves.
- A classic cabinet is a standard and familiar modification. There are more than a dozen of these cabinets in any outlet. Buyers are offered many configurations of this type of furniture and many color ideas. A classic bathroom cabinet with a mirror is leading among others in this category of furniture in its price segment. Inside this cabinet you can store towels and the necessary accessories for cosmetic procedures. It is traditionally hung over the sink. Although now it’s permissible to place such a cabinet above the washing machine, and with a very cramped bathroom it happens to be installed even above the bathroom itself. Although, before you place a cabinet for a hinged bathroom with a mirror above the bathtub itself, it’s worth thinking and weighing the dangers of such a placement many times.
- Mirror cabinet. It helps to expand the room visually and adds the illusion of free space to the room. Such an element of furniture looks very stylish. But do not forget that any mirror surface loves increased care and attention. If a mirrored wall mounted bathroom cabinet appears in your bathroom, be prepared for frequent rubbing and cleaning of its surfaces.
- Is there a free niche in the room, and perhaps its dimensions and configuration are non-standard? Do not worry too much, designers have taken care of such cases. Get a built-in wall cabinet for the bathroom.
Horizontal
Such models also belong to the subspecies of classic cabinets. But unlike them, the horizontal version is somewhat narrower and longer. The cabinet can have sliding doors (as in a sliding wardrobe), it can be opened in a classic swinging way or with doors up. Horizontal models include the shelving cabinet, which can simultaneously combine open and closed shelves in its design.
Everything in the pencil case
The hinged wardrobe-case for the bathroom has either closed mirrored doors or just plain doors. A very convenient model that does not occupy much horizontal space and contains everything that needs to be placed in a cabinet suspended in such a room. The color and length of this design allow you to choose such a model for any room.
The bathroom is all in white
White wall cabinet for the bathroom - the usual classic solution. A variety of white models does not cease to amaze. Such a cabinet can be narrow or wide. It can have mirror doors or one door with a mirror, and the second part generally remains open. But no matter what design you choose, the color of the cabinet will several times improve the perception of the model. Such a wall cabinet for a bathroom can even have a mirror illumination. In any case, a feeling of purity and light is provided to you.
What materials to choose
Having considered the design options for these products and having decided on what is most suitable for you, you need not to forget about the materials from which furniture elements are created. Indeed, the operating time and joy, or vice versa, the chagrin of use are directly related to them. Nobody wants to have poor quality furniture.
Wall mounted bathroom cabinets made of wood-based panels
The most common in this category is a chipboard. The furniture created from it is primarily liked by the fact that it has an affordable price category. At the same time, it is offered in various design ideas and colors. If you correlate the price and quality of products, then they are good enough. When buying, pay special attention to the processing of this plate. If the stove is poorly "covered" with facing materials, then soon such a cabinet will become unsuitable for further service for the good of your bathroom.
MDF-cabinet
Furniture from MDF is a representative of a higher level than the previous version. Due to the ease of processing such a plate, furniture, including cabinets for bathtubs, is offered in a wider range. Cabinets with the presence of wavy and other non-trivial lines make the bathroom a modern and aesthetic look.
Natural wood
The chic appearance and absolute safety for health automatically make solid wood furniture a luxury product. Only someone who has such an opportunity and is willing to invest in the benefit of the exclusivity of his bathroom and for the benefit of his health can afford such a cabinet. Wood, although a natural material, also does not like excessive moisture. In the room where the wooden furniture is installed, an excellent hood is required. Otherwise, spent finances will quickly turn into a bad mood. When buying, pay attention to the protective coating of the wooden surface.
Plastic in production
Such material is almost ideal for use in adverse conditions of humidity. The polymer calmly withstands some constant temperature changes in the bathroom. From increased humidity, it does not swell, is not susceptible to mold and decay, as is the case with previous materials. It is convenient for the manufacture of cabinets and other products for the bathroom, since the properties of plastic in production allow you to give it any shape and size. Thanks to these qualities, it is quite possible to choose a plastic model for any room.
But he also has a not very positive property. The hinged plastic cabinet for the bathroom is not very durable. The surface of such furniture is streaked with many small scratches over time, because during the operation of the product it happens to catch on it with any object. The polymer is not resistant to mechanical stress. Inaccurate use of a hinged plastic cabinet can even break it. And then again you have to visit the furniture department of the store.
Glass cabinets
Not so long ago, hinged glass cabinets for the bathroom began to appear. The cabinet model itself and its shelves are made of glass treated in a special way. Such cabinets are able to withstand significant weight, are not susceptible to shock. Tempered glass and bezel corners hidden in chamfers - a guarantee of safety when using it. A positive quality is that the space in which such a cabinet model is placed remains uncluttered. The room may seem spacious and bright. But from the negative points, this is the “inner world” of such a cabinet put on public display. Although there is an option to buy a glass cabinet painted in a color that matches the design of your bathroom.
Polycarbonate
Wall cabinets made of polycarbonate, almost like glass, can give the bathroom lightness. Their appearance is almost the same as that of glass, but the cost is somewhat more affordable. You can purchase a model with a matte finish and then what is inside your cabinet can be enveloped in a mysterious haze.
