For a woman, it is important that all household items are always at hand, but at the same time not caught sight. Sometimes the square meters of the room do not allow fantasy to roam. This is where built-in furniture comes to the rescue.

Even a small built-in cabinet will help you organize your bathroom space rationally.

In this article, you will find out what are the advantages of a built-in cabinet in the bathroom, how useful and indispensable it is in everyday life, features for care and installation, variations in color and material choice.

Putting things in order

The hostess enters a new apartment and mentally puts everything in its place: here is a washing machine and dryer, here is a washbasin with a mirror, here are shelves. How to properly organize the space?

Built-in furniture helps keep the bathroom tidy

The advantages of this type of furniture:

1. Allows you to correctly distribute things.
2. Takes up little space.
3. Helps maintain order.
4. It is possible to choose a design based on your preferences.

But remember that when you move to a new place of residence, you will have to part with your friend, because he is tied to one room.

Things and objects behind closed doors do not collect dust, as is the case on open shelves

You have an idea, but how to bring it to life, what you need to pay attention to when choosing a built-in wardrobe:

• first of all, on the material - it must withstand both temperature drops and high humidity;
• the bathroom must be well ventilated, otherwise moisture and water droplets can damage the product;
• decide on the type of built-in wardrobe: straight, corner, built into a niche.

Cosmetics, household chemicals, hygiene items and linen - all this is hidden behind the cabinet facades, which allows you to fully enjoy the aesthetics of the interior

In addition to the practical side, built-in furniture can be a decoration of the room.

How to deliver?

How your wardrobe will be located in the bathroom entirely depends on the size and architectural features of the room:

• the most common and simplest option is a cabinet along the wall from floor to ceiling;
  

  Floor-to-ceiling design is the most advantageous as it allows you to collect all the items in one place

• a corner built-in wardrobe allows you to save space well, but there may be a problem with the hanging of the facades;
  

  The corner model will help to rationally use the space that is usually empty or not used in the best way

• it is possible to integrate the cabinet into a niche in the bathroom; here it is possible to arrange hanging modules with a maximum number of shelves.

Why is he swollen?

As mentioned above, the main point in choosing a wardrobe for the bathroom will be the material. Let's consider the most popular ones:

• Laminated plates. They are processed in production with a special composition, which makes them more resistant to moisture.
  

  Laminated doors - the most affordable option

• Plastic is the second most popular material. A bit monotonous for the interior, but it can be decorated. The constituent elements of the cabinet made of it can withstand a small load.
  

  A significant drawback of plastic is that it is quite easy to scratch

• Glass. We immediately draw your attention to safety: it must be covered with a protective film that will not allow the material to crumble when exposed to it. Glass facades can be sandblasted.
  

  Transparent doors and shelves do not clutter up the space, so they are ideal for small bathrooms

• Glass substitutes - hardboard or acrylic. Withstand heavy loads, not prone to breaking.
  

  Acrylic inserts on the compartment doors will ensure a long service life of the cabinet without losing its original attractiveness

• Metal (choose from chrome steel). Serves well with proper care and has good durability.
  

  Built-in metal cabinets will create an original interior in the bathroom

Pay special attention to the choice of facades. Consider the type of door opening, which may be as follows:

• Sliding ones are very convenient to use. Choose with runners that run at the bottom and top. Wheels should be made of high quality material and not make an extra sound when opening.

Oh, what a beauty!

The interior design of your bathroom should be uniform. Therefore, approach the design of the front of the built-in wardrobe with enthusiasm.

• If you do not have a mirror in the bathroom, then feel free to vary the doors of the facades: for example, one is mirrored, the other is laminated.
  

  A full-length mirror placed on the cabinet will allow you to examine yourself and put in order in the best way

• Dyeing in one color is the most economical option for decoration. But at the same time, pick up paint that is resistant to moisture.
  

  Solid color of cabinet fronts is a suitable solution for a minimalist bathroom

• If you are an artist, then make your dream come true - apply airbrushing and depict simple paintings and patterns on the facade.
  

  If you do not mind the money, airbrushing can be made to order.

• One of the modern decor options is fusing. Multicolored pieces of glass are placed on the stained-glass window in volume or flat and represent a mosaic.
  

  This decor technique will allow you to create an exclusive design that will definitely not go unnoticed.

• If you do not mind that the contents of the cabinet can be seen by everyone, you can use decorative glass (frosted or painted on the back). Don't forget about safety!
  

  Smears and fingerprints are clearly visible on the matte glass surface, but this is covered by the fact that the glass is easy to clean and is not afraid of water
