Making life a bit more organised with the right furniture
Mornings can be stressful at the best of times but when the toothpaste has run out and the last towel has been used up, how can having a well organised bathroom save you time and energy?
We believe every home deserves a functional and practical bathroom. Read our guide to selecting furniture for your bathroom and see how the right storage solution can save precious minutes every morning!
Consider what you want to use the cabinet for; what do you currently store in your bathroom? Keep a notebook in the bathroom for a week and jot down anything you wish you could fit in to your new storage unit whenever you think of it.
It’s important to also reflect on the role that the bathroom plays in your home; how do you use the space? From a (rushed) morning routine, to the kids’ evening-splash-about, and (hopefully) a relaxing soak after a long day – a great bathroom should cater for all our daily rituals.
The choice of bathroom furniture goes hand in hand with selecting a basin. Whilst exploring vanity units, start thinking about whether you want an on-countertop or integrated basin to go with your new furniture. Perhaps a double-basin solution will suit you best?
Keeping your notes about functionality close to hand, consider further options such as number of drawers and additional storage in the form of mirror cabinets or wall-hung column units.
Someone once told us: ‘Measure twice – buy once’. This couldn’t be more true when planning your bathroom furniture. Make sure drawers and doors can easily open, and leave ample space to move around the unit.
Storage units come in so many colours, finishes and styles, making it possible to perfectly match the furniture to the overall design scheme. Perhaps you want to jump on the latest trend of a plant-filled bathroom? Make sure there’s space for a flower pot on your new cabinet! Or do you prefer a minimal look with the latest technology integrated?
