Bathrooms in modern houses do not differ in size, which complicates the selection of furniture and other attributes. A universal solution for a small bathroom is the cabinet for the bathroom. This furniture not only fits perfectly into the design of the bathroom, but also has great functional significance. In the curbstones you can put bottles with shampoos and conditioners, jars with creams and powders and other small things, which in the bathroom is often too much. In addition, a modern pedestal can have a built-in washbasin or a basket for clothes, which is very practical.
How to choose a cabinet for a bathroom?
Before buying a curbstone, you need to pay attention to certain characteristics, on which the service life will depend. These include:
- Moisture resistance . Determines the quality of bathroom furniture . Check the uniformity of the paint application, the absence of streaks and scratches. It is the lacquer that protects the tub from penetrating into the moisture. The curbstones from a file of a tree or MDF better resist moisture and last longer preserve the original appearance. A curbstone made of particleboard is cheaper, but it does not last very long.
- Quality of accessories . If the handles, hinges and legs are made of chrome-plated steel, this means that you have a quality pedestal in front of you. Plastic accessories, covered with silver or gold plating, quickly become clogged and lose its original appearance. It is better to refuse such a purchase.
- The sink . If you decide to purchase a cabinet in the bathroom under the washbasin, then check the sink for defects (cracks, chips, scratches). When knocking on the surface of the product, a sonorous sound should emanate, indicating that there are no defects in the sink.
It is also necessary to pay attention to the color of the cabinet. On the curbstone of a dark color, the marks from streaks immediately appear, so they will need to be washed regularly with powder. On light matt pedestals, streaks are not seen so much, so they are more practical.
Types of pedestals for the bathroom
Depending on the design of the curbstone are divided into several conditional groups. The simplest are the floor stand for the bathroom. They are supplied with low legs and firmly stand on the floor. The cabinets are equipped with one or two doors, or drawers. Handles are made of their chrome-plated steel and are well matched with chrome-plated faucets, lamps and hooks for towels. The opposite pedestal is a suspended bathroom cabinet. This cabinet is attached to special pins, which securely fix the product. The suspended cabinet looks a bit unusual and gives the bathroom an exclusive look. Depending on the purpose of the curbstone are divided into several types:
- A curbstone in the bathroom under the washbasin . The shell seems to go inside the cabinet, and the whole structure is a one-piece view. Pipes and other communications are hidden inside the curbstone. The curbstone under the bathroom sink can be supplied with a table top made of natural stone. The worktop can be small and only contour the shell, or have an elongated shape and serve as a stand for bath accessories. There are also curbstones without a sink, but they fit only in spacious bathrooms, as they occupy additional space.
- Cupboard with a mirror for the bathroom . Both products are sold as a set, but they are mounted separately. Mirror repeats the decor of the curbstone. Similarity can be manifested in color, thread and frame patterns. Such a kit makes the design of the bathroom more refined.
- Cabinet for laundry in the bathroom . Very functional furniture, allowing you to save space in the bathroom, replacing a bulky laundry basket with a small, compact pedestal. Furniture is equipped with a special basket and opens not from the side, but from above. Cabinet for the bathroom with a basket - an excellent choice for people who love universal furniture.
