Imagine this is your bathroom. The vast windowless room is a testament to modern design; stone, steel, ceramic and wood combine in exciting ways to stimulate the tactile senses. The rough stone tiles warm the feet thanks to invisible under-floor heating. The far wall hosts a dual sink set-up, mounted on a large, smooth wooden surface, below the waste and pipe tails are beautifully exposed in a polished chrome finish.
The wall-hung aspect leaves the floor below open, making the already large room feel gigantic. The striking wood used for the surface is then echoed across the wall and into the rest of the bathroom; numerous drawer units hang independently, housing fresh towels and luxurious bath oils and shower gels. Following the units the eye is taken on a journey around the room to the bath panel that is made of the same dense, heavy, smooth wooden material. The future of bathroom furniture is here, and it's sleek, bold and cool!
Bathroom furniture is no longer about cramming as much storage in to your bathroom space as possible, as with all aspects of contemporary trends it is about choosing beautiful, practical key pieces and utilising them in a stunning and effective way. Being a little bit clever about what you actually need to store in the bathroom allows you to throw open your bathroom in ways you have never previously imagined. Available in fully coordinated ranges and a huge collection of sizes you can create your dream set up using free moving drawer units, under basin counters; both wall mounted and floor standing, tall wall hung cupboard units, slatted towel racks, concealed bath panel storage areas and stunning mirrored cabinets.
Leading the way in terms of design, bathroom manufacturers are constantly changing the rules. Taking the idea of bathroom storage and combining them with modern styles making it a true feat of design and engineering. Seeing the potential of design combining form and function are the works of world's most famous designers Philippe Starck and Lord Norman Foster. Leading them to produce remarkable furniture and advance their philosophy of "living in bathrooms".
Not to be outdone many manufacturers (following the lead of top designers) have launched their own range of modular and fitted furniture. Allowing you the freedom to pick and choose from every aspect of the furniture range. Both wood and colours can be used to stunning effect. All sizes, surfaces (stone effect as well as wood are available), styles and even the design and size of the door handles!
Sometimes the limiting spaces we have to deal with may restrict what we feel we can fit into our bathrooms, but the new wave of bathroom furniture is also about the creation of space. Restrictions like pipe work are no longer an issue as they can now be enhanced and leave the area below the surface completely open, creating a feeling of space in any size room. One or two cleverly chosen wall hung drawer units or cabinets will bring a fresh and open appearance to even the smallest room.
With all the possibilities and combinations to choose from your new bathroom can be fresh, bold and functional, just select your key pieces and enjoy the beauty of clutter free, effortlessly stylish and incredibly practical bathroom enjoyment.
Bathroom Furniture Space Saver
When building a home, we do not neglect the fact that most of our time will be spent in bathrooms. We could be taking a bath, using the toilet, preparing to go out, preparing to sleep, or merely brushing your teeth after every meal. Half of the day is spent on using the bathroom. In rational computations, the bathroom is the most used room in the house compared to the bedroom and the living room. So if we spend most of our time here, we should be choosing the perfect bathroom furniture for us to place in it.
To plan your bathroom furniture, think about the space that you have available to spare. You may draw a plan or a sketch of your desired bathroom and then later on figure out what kinds or types of furnishings you want in it. What do you want to do in your bathroom? This is a major question whenever deciding on what bathroom furniture to buy. Are you the type who has fast paced living and does not require a tub? A shower enclosure would do. Of course we never forget the toilet seat. A bidet is optional for those people who have money to spare. Your lavatory or sink will have to match them as well, color and make. Nowadays it is popular to furnish your bathroom with stainless steel. The theme is very modern and is also maintenance free. It doesn't chip, easy to clean and also not prone to many bacteria and germs.
Next is the type of storage requirement you want. Do you need a medicine cabinet, drawer, towel and robe closet, and the likes? After pondering on this, look at your sketch and plan on where to put these storage areas. Will the closet be the first thing you need when you enter your bathroom? Is your medicine cabinet placed right above your vanity or somewhere else? Thoughts like these will help you decide on what kinds and colors your storage areas would be.
Another thing to think about is how long you usually stay in your bathroom. If you are the type who spends hours in the bathroom without doing anything productive at all, you may want to integrate a magazine rack somewhere near the toilet seat and the tub. Music equipment is also fine as long as you are careful in arranging the cables since a bathroom always have water present.
Finally, do not forget about the little details which make your bathroom furniture as complete as it can be. Your towel racks, soap dishes, tissue handles, shower and faucet heads and knobs, toothbrush holder etc. Additional items would be the rugs, first aid kit and of course, your indoor decors. Always remember, a bathroom is an essential if not the most important room in our house. People can live in a house without a bedroom but cannot live without a bathroom. If my bathroom is well arranged, clean and spacious, I could very well sleep there. What do you need a bedroom for? Choose your bathroom furniture wisely.
