Bathrooms are one of the most-used rooms in a home. Designing bathroom cabinets is an integral part of creating a functional and beautiful bathroom space. There are, however, common pitfalls that can hinder the efficiency and aesthetics of your bathroom cabinets. In this blog, our team of experts at The Cabinet Guys explore a few key things to avoid when designing your bathroom cabinets.
- Mistake #1: Not Enough Storage: Bathroom cabinets need to be able to store a lot, including towels, linens, self-care/beauty products, cleaning supplies and more. Some homeowners are so concerned about the style of their cabinets that they sacrifice potential storage space. Ensure your bathroom cabinets can accommodate all essential items while you are still in the design stage.
- Mistake #2: Using the Wrong Materials: Bathroom cabinets need to be able to withstand high levels of humidity, water, and potentially more wear and tear than cabinets in other areas of your home. Don’t skimp on the quality of the cabinets to try to save a few bucks, and ensure you select materials that are moisture-resistant and not prone to warping.
- Mistake #3: Neglecting Ventilation: Some homeowners forget how important it is to ensure bathrooms are properly ventilated. Your bathroom cabinets should not be installed in a way that might restrict airflow, especially in areas prone to moisture buildup (like under the sink or near the shower).
By avoiding these common pitfalls, you can ensure your bathroom cabinets not only meet your functional needs, but also improve the efficiency and beauty of the space.
