What You Should Know About
Bathroom Cabinets
Earlier
bathroom cabinets or medicine
cabinets were terms used to
refer to a plain white box that
were usually mounted above the
sinks in bathrooms. A small
cabinet for you to store your
soaps, tooth paste, tooth brush,
cosmetics, shaving razors,
shaving creams and some
medicines. Those were the days
when bathrooms were plain and
simple but nowadays people are
making their bathrooms look more
elegant and many are spending a
fortune trying to make their
bathroom look and feel perfect.
The bathroom cabinets used
nowadays tend to have a lot of
varied functional uses and have
become more stylish and
functional.
Bathroom cabinets in recent
times are used to describe any
cabinet that we can have and use
in a bathroom. They can be as
large as normal wall cabinets
used in other rooms or can even
be a tall storage cabinet. In
luxury bathrooms, a bathroom
cabinet can be a combination of
a medicine cabinet, a bathroom
vanity, a bathroom countertop
and also other varieties of
cabinets all as a single unit.
Some of the bathroom cabinets
measure even more than 32 inches
height, 21 inches deep and 30
inches wide.
There are two basic styles of
bathroom cabinets available in
the market. They are the
traditional American-style
bathroom cabinets and the
European style bathroom
cabinets. The traditional
American style cabinets are
found in most homes and are
commonly called as framed
cabinets. The framed cabinets
use face-frames to cover the
front edges of the cabinet that
are raw. The European style
cabinets are found mostly in
European countries and are
commonly known as frameless
cabinets. In frameless cabinets,
the raw edges are concealed
using very simple trim strips.
The latest bathroom cabinets
can also be classified as
custom, stock and modular
cabinets too. This type of
classification is based on the
manufacturing process of the
cabinets. Stock bathroom
cabinets are mass manufactured
and are available only in a few
standard sizes and shapes. They
tend to be the least expensive
bathroom cabinets available and
can be picked up from any home
improvement store.
Modular bathroom cabinets
like stock bathroom cabinets are
also mass produced. But they
offer more flexibility in their
design. Their style and
structure can be modified in
different ways as per your
needs. Most modular cabinets are
Do it yourself cabinets and are
easy to put together. So you can
be creative with what you got
and make the modular bathroom
cabinet as unique as possible.
Custom bathroom cabinets as
the name suggests are not mass
manufactured. Hence each custom
bathroom cabinet will have its
individuality, but getting a
custom bathroom cabinet could
mean that you will have to hire
a cabinet maker or visit the
custom cabinet making stores.
The advantage of custom bathroom
cabinets is that you can design
the cabinet in a way to make
maximum utilization of the space
available. You have the option
of using any material that you
want to while designing your
bathroom cabinet. But since they
are custom made, they are also
the most expensive of the
bathroom cabinets.
Bathroom cabinets are no
longer a simple box to store
your personal stuff. They are
additions to your bathrooms that
will add style and functionality
to your bathrooms.
