7 tips to choose the best cabinet for your bathroom

Researching and observing decorated rooms helps you visualize your bathroom and how it can be set up, but many factors must be considered when buying the cabinet. It is important to take into account, for example, the material of the furniture, the space available in the room, creativity, and the cleanliness of the place.

  1. Analyze the available space: It is very common for people to buy cabinets for their beauty and when they get home the available space is less than the cabinet, or after installation the door doesn't open. For this reason, I always ask them to take the measurements when they buy them, to avoidFor those who don't have much space, a suggestion are the cabinets with sliding doors.
  2. Think about functionality: It must fit in the available space, open its drawers - when they exist - without problems, and furthermore, according to the professional, "it cannot hinder the circulation, otherwise the environment will no longer be comfortable.
  3. Choose the right material: When choosing your cabinet, you must think about the material. Choose a material that is more durable and more resistant to water and cleaning materials. Wood and MDF are the most suitable materials. Marcela Pousada also suggests acrylic cabinets for children's bathrooms.
  4. Use your creativity: A modern and different option are the empty cabinets, without doors, which, besides being practical, contribute to the decoration.
  5. Observe your needs: If the bathroom will be used by children, the elderly or people with disabilities, it will require safer furniture. Also, if you intend to store a large number of belongings in your cabinet, it will need to be larger.
  6. Think about practicality for cleaning: to keep your bathroom always clean, you must choose a cabinet that does not make cleaning difficult. a suggestion from Marcela Pousada are the suspended cabinets, which make it easier to clean the floor and are preserved since they do not come into contact with water.
  7. Match the decor: the composition of the bathroom must be in harmony. the cabinet must match the tub, the faucet, the mirror, and the toilet, for example. the colors and tones of the bathroom also influence the cabinet choice.

How to organize a bathroom cabinet

The first step to organize a cabinet is to "eliminate everything that is not necessary to be in the bathroom," Santos points out. The tip is not to accumulate objects inside this space, avoiding clutter, and to store in the cabinet only items that are useful in the bathroom itself.

The drawers can be used to store cosmetics, such as soaps, shampoos, creams, moisturizers and make-up, hair accessories such as hair clips and elastics, and also electrical appliances such as hair dryers, hair straighteners and babylisses.for storing face and bath towels.

If there is space on the countertop, Marcela Pousada says that it can be used to put cotton swabs, toothbrushes, and absorbent cotton in boxes or cases, but if the countertop is narrow, these items must also be stored inside the cabinet.

The cabinet can also be used to store dirty clothes: "Some cabinets have a built-in basket, and this is a great option to keep the environment always organized", Santos points out, but not all cabinets have this space.
