Learning About Home Decor Elements

A bathroom without cabinets is also a bathroom that is likely lacking function. Whether it's a small linen nook or a place to store all your beauty products, cabinets keep areas clean and organized. Before you begin your search for new cabinets, learn about some of the factors that can help you identify the right selection.

Function

Yes, cabinets bring functionality to the bathroom. However, to maximize this benefit, you need to know what type of function you need to serve. As a result, your first step in the process should be to determine what you want to store in the cabinets. After you have this information, you can start to look for cabinetry options that are designed in the fashion you need, so that you have a cabinet design that is actually useful. 

Countertop

Ideally, you should have an idea of what style of countertop you want to choose for the bathroom beforehand. While the cabinet in the room might be located on an entirely different side from the vanity countertop, you still want the cabinetry to pair well with the countertop, if you want the room to look cohesive. Choosing a countertop will also help you determine the grade of countertops you choose. For instance, if you want something more expensive like quartz, you probably don't want to choose a low-grade cabinet, as the two styles will clash. 

Drawers

Don't forget to think about drawers. A bathroom is also a place where you need to store some small items, including hairbrushes, shaving gear, and other beauty products. If you choose cabinets without drawers, it will be hard to find what you need and to keep the cabinets organized, unless you invest in an expensive organization set. Built-in drawers keep everything organized without the added cost and time investment. 

Hardware and Accessories

You should also think about the type of hardware and accessories you want to use. Hardware options like pulls and knobs don't always pair well with every cabinet design. The same is true for accessories like wainscoting. If you have some hardware and accessories ideas in mind that you want to apply, bring these designs along with you when you choose the cabinets to make sure they will work with the selection. 

Quality bathroom cabinets come with a variety of options, but not every selection will meet your specific needs. Take your time to search for just what you need.
