Bathroom Furniture with Photos

A bathroom is a place of relaxation and solitude. To make bathing procedures pleasant like in a sanatorium, the interior here should be convenient and pleasing to everyone in the family. Therefore, you need to choose modern and beautiful furniture.

Besides aesthetic qualities, other universal features of good bathroom cabinets should also be considered.

Criteria for Choosing Bathroom Furniture

• Bathroom furniture must be specially selected with water-repelling coating.
  
• The best furniture for a relaxation area is that which is easy to clean, protected from mold and keeps its stylish appearance for a long time. Universal models for modern interiors made of acrylic or ceramic, and more prestigious options with marble countertops. Wooden materials are specially treated and painted.

• The set of cabinets should be chosen according to the size of the room. For small rooms, wall-mounted cabinets and functional units with shelves and built-in drawers are suitable. Each item needs to be chosen carefully.
  
• Light glossy and mirror surfaces visually make the space feel more spacious and open. A practical choice is a fog-proof mirror.
  

Depending on the area of the bathroom and personal taste, a style of decoration is developed. Furniture design should be chosen taking this into account.

Styles of Furniture: Photos and Inspiration Ideas

Classical style is an ideal source of refined universal ideas for decorating a bathroom. The most valuable and inspiring in classic style is natural materials and pleasant colors – wheat, beige, olive, wood tone, light blue.

When developing your own design idea, take a classical light decoration as the basis and add darker furniture and accessories made of wood materials. The style welcomes decorated surfaces and large mirrors.

Country and Scandinavian styles combine ready-made original and beautiful design ideas: with old furniture items, woven drawers, brass details.

Rural style approves the country dresser, open shelves in a bathroom and allows creating an atmosphere of European countryside house. The main materials of different western country styles are wood, forged iron, stone. Provincial French country style is furniture painted in light gray or light blue color, floral patterns, worn-out effect.

In a bathroom with high-tech design, rich combinations of textures and modern materials are acceptable. This style is practical and includes furniture made from plastic, glass, metal parts, mirror gloss.

Original Idea for Bathroom

Even more colorful and bold material combinations are fusion – a creative experimental style. As the basis for this style, vibrant items, furniture of non-standard shapes, countertops with original texture can be chosen, possibly even antique decor.

Color Selection

In choosing the color of furniture and small accents, you can follow certain trends that can be adapted to your taste. For example:

• Expensive-looking eastern minimalism – combining black and white in furniture. By the way, color contrasts – for example dark lines on white – visually expand the boundaries of a room.

Original Idea for Bathroom

• Also trendy is combining white with bright colors, because in a light bathroom, furniture items in saturated tones – vivid reds, indigo will stand out stylishly. But again in the color palette, minimalism should be maintained – no more than 2 dominant colors.
  
• A modern bathroom can be decorated entirely in a light tone, more warm than white color, comfortable for the eyes. For example, olive green, pink, maple wood tone. In this case, color combinations of furniture and finishing are softer, and natural color accessories – wood, green – can be used in the interior.
  
• Additionally, it is always stylish and original to look like glass and metal furniture with an abundance of mirrors.
  

Bathroom Interior in Eco Style

On the materials used for bathroom furniture in photos of expensive interiors, we will focus.

Modern Furniture: Materials

Any interior, particularly a bathroom interior, makes it more luxurious and cozy with furniture made from wood. Solid wood with natural texture, designer finish or painted – this is expensive and timeless classic.

At the same time, wooden cabinets are also suitable in Japanese style and any modern design. For individual furniture manufacturing, the best choice is maple or ash wood, which is very strong, has light shades, paints and polishes well. The material treated with water-repelling composition will last long and maintain an aesthetic appearance.

Replace natural wood in the interior with furniture made from MDF or particle board. Only note that such cabinets are inferior to solid wood in terms of service life.

Steel furniture is also very durable. There are many beautiful examples of using metal in modern, ethnic or “cottage” bathrooms – creating open shelves, forged shelves with curves.

Forged Furniture for Interior

Glass items visually make the space feel freer and look very harmonious in a bathroom interior. In modern bathrooms, the entire cabinet set can be made from tempered glass.

Even more relevant are cabinets made from plastic, colorful and shaped. Especially – combinations of acrylic plastic, transparent and matte glass. Practical and simple-to-maintain materials successfully combine in the latest design ideas.

Idea for a Small Bathroom

High-tech and minimalist lacquer – these are ready solutions for how to use mirror and bright glossy surfaces to make the interior modern but not flashy or featureless.

In classical and eco styles, materials with pastel or wood tones and matte textures are preferred. In country interior, aged furniture made from iron with specially created rust, gray or green patina is suitable.

How to Choose a Sink

The sink should be chosen according to the style and size of the room.

For example, in a small bathroom with a minimalist decor, a sink with a cabinet is suitable. Stylishly, the cabinet and other items of the decor can be in the same color.

Modern cabinet variants may include built-in laundry basket or compartment for a washing machine.

Models of sinks without cabinets will always be in trend and correspond to popular styles in bathrooms. These are:

• miniature wall-mounted sinks, including with compact niches – a good solution in minimalist style
  
• sink “tulip” on an elegant classical stand.

Storage System Selection

Cabinets or shelves should be selected individually for each bathroom. In some cases, furniture items can be replaced with built-in niches or shelves in the shower area. However, universal elements of furniture and their advantages should be taken into account.

Recommendations from Architect Nikita Morozov

Wall-mounted storage systems allow placing all necessary items in a row at eye level. Wall-mounted cabinets can become a bright color accent, visually expand the area. A more modern variant is open wall-mounted shelves.

A more practical option for a large room is a cabinet. In such a cabinet, sliding shelves and convenient open niches can be installed, and hygiene items and spare towels can be arranged compactly.

For storing household chemicals, a floor-standing cabinet is usually designed, particularly a cabinet under the sink.

Shower Cabin or Bathtub

A bathtub or shower is the dominant element of a bathroom interior. All furniture should be selected according to the style of the main item. But this main puzzle must suit your family.

A bathtub is convenient if:

• your family enjoys long SPA procedures
  
• there are small children
  
• and if the room size is large enough.

Shower sanitaryware has other advantages:

• it is usually compact
  
• a cabin with transparent barriers makes the space feel free
  
• more hygienic and minimizes water consumption
  
• useful additions in closed shower cabins can include air ionization and aromatherapy.

Advice on Selecting and Arranging Bathroom Furniture with Photos

When selecting each item, remember that there should be enough space for storage systems, a convenient sink, and free space in the bathroom. Also, there should be some distance between the bathtub or sink and any cabinet.

If you have a small bathroom, follow these tips:

• install a shower cabin
  
• instead of a cabinet, choose compact wall-mounted furniture, ideally with sliding doors
  
• use additional storage spaces – for example, niches and the area under the bathtub
