Modern bathroom cabinets are furnishing elements characterized by contemporary design, clean lines, and innovative materials. Available in wall-mounted or floor-standing versions, they offer versatile solutions to optimize space and enhance the aesthetics of the bathroom. These cabinets combine functionality and style, adapting to various housing needs and personal preferences.
Wall-mounted cabinets are fixed to the wall, creating a light visual effect and making floor cleaning easier. Ideal for small bathrooms, they offer a minimalist and modern look. However, they require solid walls for safe installation and may have slightly less storage capacity compared to floor-standing units.
Floor-standing cabinets rest directly on the floor, offering greater stability and storage capacity. They are easier to install as they do not require wall drilling and can effectively conceal plumbing. However, they take up more visual space and can make floor cleaning a bit more demanding.
Choosing the right materials is essential to ensure durability and moisture resistance:
Lacquered MDF: offers a smooth, even surface, available in various matte or glossy finishes.
Veneered wood: combines the look of natural wood with greater moisture resistance.
Porcelain stoneware: a highly durable material used for countertops and coverings, available in various textures and colors.
Solid Surface (e.g. Corian): non-porous, durable, and easily moldable material, ideal for countertops and integrated washbasins.
Installation varies depending on the type of cabinet:
Wall-mounted cabinets: require sturdy fixings and solid walls. The intervention of a professional is recommended to ensure safety and durability.
Floor-standing cabinets: easier to install, do not require special fixings, and are suitable for any type of wall.
To keep cabinets in excellent condition:
Daily cleaning: use soft microfiber cloths and neutral detergents. Avoid aggressive or abrasive products.
Drying: always dry surfaces after cleaning to prevent halos or moisture damage.
Material care: follow the specific instructions for each material. For example, avoid using alcohol on matte lacquered surfaces.
Available space: assess the size of the bathroom to choose between wall-mounted or floor-standing cabinets.
Desired style: consider the overall aesthetics of the bathroom and select materials and finishes that integrate harmoniously.
Functionality: choose solutions that offer enough space for daily needs, such as organized drawers and spacious compartments.
