A to Z for Bathroom Furniture

by Neal Baker

BATHROOM FURNITURE:

There are three main types of bathroom furniture. Stand alone, modular and fitted. Stand alone furniture as the name suggests is designed to stand on its own and is not normally attached to the piece next to it. In fact most free standing furniture does not have a clean edge so it is normally impossible to attach another piece to the side without leaving a small gap between the two pieces. The most common type of freestanding furniture is the vanity unit. This allows for storage under the basin but takes up the minimum amount of space. This is ideal for storage in small bathrooms.

Modular furniture is similar to stand alone furniture but have flat sides so that pieces can be added together to make a line (or run) of furniture. This allows for a lot more units to be fitted within the bathroom. Normally this type of furniture incorporates a back to wall toilet and cistern housing. These types of units are best fitted with a gap at either end, as they do not come with filler panels or extra worktop to fill in odd spaces.

Fitted furniture is similar to modular but has a range of units and additional items to ensure that it can be fitted wall to wall without any gaps. This type of furniture also has the largest number of unit sizes and styles available. Fitted furniture in small bathrooms can have the effect of making the room appear smaller.

Wooden Bathroom Products: All wooden bathroom products must be treated with the utmost of care within the bathroom. Whilst wooden products are coated with a specially finished lacquer which is specifically designed to withstand splashes and condensation, it is important to ensure that water is not in prolonged contact with these surfaces as this will over time lead to surface damage.

Bathroom storage; Bigger the Better

by Su.J

‘The Bigger…the better,’ is the apt phrase when it comes to defining bathroom storage needs.

Shelves in a bathroom are meant to keep items of regular use like soaps, shampoos, conditioners and toothpastes etc. They are extremely useful as they create a lot of space in the bathroom.

Such storage spaces provide practical yet stylish units for storing bathroom accessories. One can easily store towels, toiletries and other important accessories in the bathroom storage shelves. The best thing about them is that they can be installed anywhere in the bathroom: either in a corner, on the walls or even beneath the wash basin. The corner storage shelf can be tucked anywhere and saves a lot of valuable storage space in a bathroom. The shelves can be custom made for all kinds of bathrooms, though ready made options are also available in the market.

These shelves are mainly made from wood, wrought iron, plastic, brass etc. But if you have tons to store on your bathroom shelves, do not go for plastic ones as they are short lived .Excellent options in glass are also very interesting and brighten up the boring walls of the bathroom.

Meanwhile if you are looking for storage options for your kids’ bathroom, basket is the obvious answer. Now you won’t have to worry about your kid spoiling the linen curtains of your bathroom when they come with mud smacked all over them. Just remove their clothes and dump them into the storage basket.
A basket is ideal for kids’ bathroom as it looks very cute and is made either from cane, so no worries about your child getting any sort of injury from that.
