Bathroom Cabinetry Ideas







Here, the bathroom cabinets match the warm red of the brick wall.


The types of cabinets that you have in your bathroom can affect the overall look and appearance of the room just as much as the mirror and vanity can. It's important to choose cabinets which match those focal elements such as the mirror, sink and tiles, but that also meet your needs in terms of storage and versatility.


Oak Cabinets


Oak cabinets can match nearly any color or decor scheme inside of a bathroom while anchoring the room with a sense of solidity. You can use oak in white, blue or green tiled or painted bathrooms as a warm contrast to such cool colors. Alternatively, you can use oak as a warm complement to peach, mauve, pink, red or gold bathrooms. You can feature oak cabinets with period carvings and knobs which give a clearly old-fashioned look. Alternatively, you can cut oak cabinets in sleek, minimalistic lines to match even the most modern bathrooms.


Old Dresser


You can convert an old dresser to act as the vanity or cabinet portion underneath your bathroom sink to give you an ultra modern or ultra classic appearance. This is the perfect solution for an antique or contemporary dresser that you simply don't have room for and would like to use as a free-standing cabinet. This look gives your bathroom a unique dimension that visitors are likely to notice immediately. This solution is also suitable for those who prefer to compartmentalize their things and require cabinets with more drawer space.


Open and Shut


In a modern or classic bathroom, experiment with cabinets that come with doors and ones that don't. This will force you into using the door-less cabinets as a means of decoration and display, showcasing items like seashells and beach glass, or framed pictures, lanterns or figurines. You could also just neatly fold piles of clean linens and towels for a fresh, spa-like presentation. This will hopefully also assist you in organizing your things, as you'll be forced to keep the products that you'd like out of sight in cabinets with doors, which should make them easy to find.
