When it comes to designing your dream bathroom, choosing the perfect furniture is essential in creating a space that is both functional and stylish. We’re here to explore the multitude of types of bathroom furniture that can refresh your bathroom scheme, how to make the most out of the space you have, and tips on selecting the right pieces for your home.
What Are the Essential Bathroom Furniture Pieces for Your Home?
All bathrooms need a few essential furniture pieces to ensure practicality and comfort. These must-have items include but are not limited to:
Vanity Units-
A Vanity unit combines the essential workings of bathroom basins with ample amounts of storage space, making it an aesthetic, multi-functional piece of bathroom furniture. They are ideal for storing all your bathroom bits and bobs, and keeping them all hidden away.
Storage Cabinets-
Whether they are tall or short, blue or green, storage cabinets are a crucial element in any bathroom design. They provide ample storage space for bathroom comforts like towels, spare loo rolls and toiletries.
Mirror Cabinets-
Mirror cabinets serve as a dual-purpose piece of bathroom furniture, by offering a place to store away any smaller pieces of bathroom clutter while also giving you a mirror for your daily routine. Check you out!
Laundry Baskets-
Keeping dirty laundry hidden away is vital in achieving a successful bathroom design. With a wide variety of styles on the market, ensure you choose one that complements your planned bathroom decor.
How Can I Maximise Space in My Bathroom?
Maximising the space you have available in your bathroom is all about choosing the right furniture pieces and ensuring you arrange them thoughtfully. Here’s our advice to help:
Wall Mounted Vanity Units-
By opting for wall-mounted vanity units, you will be freeing up floor space, creating a more open and spacious feel to the area.
Combination Furniture-
Select combination furniture pieces that fit well into smaller spaces to ensure you have extra space to play around with. This applies to compact bathroom furniture too, e.g. choosing tall bathroom cabinets that can fit into tight spaces, ensuring your furniture won’t overwhelm the room.
Corner Units-
If the only spare space you have is in the corners of the room, consider the use of our corner basin vanities. They can also act as additional storage if you’re in a pinch!
Multi-functional Furniture-
For a modern and versatile bathroom, we recommend integrating furniture with multiple purposes, like basin vanity units with built-in storage, or mirror cabinets with built-in lighting.
What Should You Consider When Thinking of Style and Function?
Balancing style and function is key in any interior design, not just the bathroom. But, for the sake of today’s content, here’s how to ensure your bathroom looks great and works well:
Material and Finish-
Select materials that are durable and easy to clean. Our vanity units are constructed with engineered wood with a high-quality veneer, making your life easier when it comes to cleaning, but also prettier, with a wide range of colour and style options.
Colour and Scheme-
Make sure you’re choosing bathroom furniture that matches your desired colour scheme. A blue bathroom furniture set, or even a green bathroom furniture set, welcomes a creative pop of colour, making your bathroom feel all that more inviting.
Design-
Shop for bathroom furniture that fits the style of your bathroom for a cohesive and more aesthetically pleasing overall look, whether it be traditional, or modern bathroom furniture.
Practicality-
You will also need to ensure the bathroom furniture you implement meets your practical needs. For example, does it have enough storage, and is it easy for you to maintain? Etc.
How Do You Choose the Right Bathroom Furniture?
Choosing the right bathroom furniture for your design involves considering several factors:
1- Space: Measure your bathroom to determine what size furniture will fit best.
2- Needs: Identify your storage needs and choose furniture that fits those requirements best.
3- Style: Choose furniture that complements your bathroom’s style and colour scheme.
4- Quality: Invest in high-quality furniture that will withstand the humid bathroom environment.
5- Budget: Set a budget and find pieces that offer the best value for your money.
