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
