Vanity Cabinets

Vanity cabinets are the most popular choice for bathrooms because they provide both storage and style. Vanity cabinets come in a wide variety of sizes and styles, so it's easy to find one that fits your budget and design aesthetic. Vanity cabinets often feature built-in sinks or benchtops, so the addition of taps and other fixtures like drawer and cupboard handles, allows you to unleash your creativity.

Wall-Mounted Cabinets

Wall-mounted cabinets are a great option if you're looking for extra storage without taking up too much floor space. Wall-mounted cabinets can easily be installed above sinks, toilets, or other fixtures in your bathroom and offer plenty of storage without getting in the way of other items. Plus, they come in a variety of sizes and styles so they can easily fit into any design scheme.

Floating Shelves

Floating shelves are another great option for bathrooms that don't have enough room for traditional cabinetry. Floating shelves provide additional storage without taking up too much floor space, plus they come in a variety of shapes and sizes so you can find one that fits perfectly with your bathroom's design scheme. Floating shelves are usually quite affordable, making them an ideal choice for those on a budget.

Materials

When building or renovating, the materials you use to construct your bathroom cabinets are an important decision. Some materials will be more affordable than others but may not last as long or have the aesthetic appeal you’re looking for.

Wood – Strong and attractive, wood gives a classic feel to cabinets
Metal – A modern, industrial look that is better able to endure the higher humidity levels of a bathroom
Laminate – Affordable and comes in a variety of colours for greater design freedom
Glass – Adds transparency and provides and elegant finish

Whichever material you choose for your bathroom cabinets, it is critical they’re installed professionally to ensure lasting performance.
