Set "Moidodyr"

• kryuchkov and crossbars for towels.

Mirror

The bathroom furniture is usually equipped with a mirror of about 60 cm. But the mirrors can be of different shapes and any size, it depends on the free area and your preferences. It’s not bad if the mirror is equipped with local lamps.

Shelf under the mirror

This element of furniture is needed to place glasses with toothbrushes, bottles with shampoo, jars with creams, etc.

Tumbling with a sink

The cabinet, as a rule, is equipped with a mass of small boxes and departments for storing little things (combs, hairpins, cotton pads, etc.). Small doors do not take up much space when opening, and additional shelves can be placed on their inside. The cabinet can stand right on the floor (with a basement), or on the legs. The first most popular are the simplicity of their installation. In the second case, it is easier to do cleaning and better ventilation (in conditions of high humidity, this is important). This option is preferable in the rooms where the water supply wiring goes along the floor. There are also suspended models, but they are not so easy to install, for this it is necessary to attract an appropriate specialist.

Container for dirty laundry

If there is a place in the bathroom, then the linen cabinet is simply obliged to be there. Today there are special models suspended over the washing machine. There you can store linen, powder and other little things necessary for washing.

Basic requirements for bathroom furniture

1. Hygiene. The surfaces should have water -repellent properties and are easy to clean.
2. Practicality and relevance. The furniture should be comfortable and useful. She should not interfere and block the exit. Massive and bulky objects will be by the way only in spacious rooms.
3. Resistance to moisture and temperature changes. Given the microclimate of the bathroom, all furniture items should be saturated with water -repellent agents or created from raw materials, which is not afraid of water.
4. Stylistic correspondence. As in any other place, in the bathroom, furniture should be part of the common interior composition, and not a foreign body.

  Solutions for a small bathroom

If the headset in your bathroom simply does not fit, then it is better to buy furniture for the bathroom from individual items.

• When choosing the shape of the shelves (preferably hinged) and their number, take into account the presence of free space on the walls.

• Although the most common bathroom furniture has a 90 cm wide in the kit, no one prevents you from ordering a locker of the size that will fit in your space. For a small bathroom, a narrow rack or a pencil case on wheels can be suitable. You can easily move such a thing, if necessary.

• Corner boxes and cabinets are an excellent solution if there is a need to save space.

• To save space, you can also choose bedside tables with sliding doors.
• It is also better to buy a mirror for a compact bathroom separately (like a shelf for it), focusing on individual sizes. Another great idea is to purchase a hinged cabinet with mirror doors.

• If there is no room for the cabinet under the sink, you can equip it with a countertop with holders for towels on the sides. These countertops today can be made of glass, artificial stone, fiberboard and wood. Do not be alarmed by wood, it is impregnated for such furniture items with a special water -repellent composition. An example of such furniture for the bathroom can be seen in the photo below.

• Screens for the bathroom are another option for small -sized ones. On such a screen, you can place household chemicals or use for other purposes.

• A linen cabinet can be replaced with a wicker basket or a plastic container. By the way, there are also corner variations that are very successful for small rooms.

What should be checked especially carefully when selecting furniture into the hygiene room?

1. Study the coating of furniture. It should be evenly painted, without subtexts, gaps and scratches.
2. Furniture should be made of metal stainless materials. Plastic fittings quickly breaks, with yellow spraying - peels off.
3. Inspect the sink for lack of cracks. Tap slightly on the sink. A deaf sound made at the same time may indicate the presence of internal microcracks. If the sound is sonorous, a good quality shell.
4. The shade of furniture should be combined with the color of wallpaper, tiles, flooring and other objects in the room or vice versa, contrast (based on the concept of interior design).

And a couple of nuances!

1. If the bathroom is equipped with a “warm floor” system, give preference to furniture on the legs. This will prevent the drying of the joints of the parts and the furniture will last longer.
2. The shell with a sink should not closely adjoin the wall. Leave a gap of at least 3 cm, then the furniture will suffer less from poor ventilation in conditions of high humidity.

We really hope that now you know what bathroom furniture you need. And this is already half the age. Now you can safely go to the store!
