Bathroom Furniture
Years ago, the choices of bathroom furniture in the form of cabinets was limited to standalone units, usually made form metal and glass, which simply hung on the wall to store medication. While this traditional type of bathroom furniture looked nice and was very functional, we have seen many wonderful changes over the years. For example, some of the bathroom cabinets on the market today are merely enhanced or extended versions of the traditional cabinet. However, you will find many other options for bathroom furniture, some of which we wanted to outline in this article.
Today, bathroom furniture, pertaining to cabinets, means corner units, wall mounted cabinets, and then the traditional cabinets that are available all types of styles to include European, Old World, traditional, contemporary, antique, and more. The great thing about this type of bathroom furniture now is that you will find all types of beautiful wood such as natural cherry, wenge, oak, walnut, mahogany, maple, antiqued white, and more. Just imagine the possibilities with so many choices.
When choosing bathroom furniture, you will do best by choosing from top manufacturers. Although there are far too many to list in one article, you could research cabinets made by Strasser, Kohler, Soho, Newport Brass, American Standard, Elizabethan Classics, Adagio, Sonia, and Azura to name a few. These manufacturers offer a huge selection of hardware for your bathroom furniture made form antique or brushed brass, chrome, stainless steel antique pewter, weathered copper, bamboo, and so on.
Keep in mind that in addition to cabinets, you will find wonderful choices for all types of bathroom furniture. By changing out old pieces, you can breathe new life into an otherwise boring room. Whether adding a granite top sink, pedestal sink, mirror, sauna, wall-mounted faucet, concealed tank toilets, hot tub, corner vanity, door hardware, and so on, the room will completely change. Best of all, you can find all types of bathroom furniture for discounted prices and from top manufacturers. For example, most manufacturers will have end of year or overstock sales. Take advantage of these to find gorgeous pieces at a huge discounted price.
If you find yourself on a really, tight budget, then we can suggest another option from buying all new bathroom furniture. If the base of your bathroom vanity is in good condition but the look is outdated or worn, you could always have the front re-faced. In this case, the original cabinet would still be used but the doors or your existing cabinet or vanity would be given a new face. The look is wonderful with no one knowing any difference and again, he cost of re-facing versus all new bathroom furniture is staggering.
You could also save money on buying new bathroom furniture by simply changing out the existing hardware on your old cabinets. Many times, added exposed decorative hinges is all it takes to overhaul your existing piece. Add new door pulls or cabinet knobs, and you have an entirely new look. Finally, paint can be used on most types of old bathroom furniture. By changing out the colour with the new hardware, and the room will be transformed into something of which to be proud.
