The bathroom belongs to specific areas. The presence of moisture and hot steam imposes special requirements on furniture:

• not only facades should be moisture resistant, but also all components of this structure;
• cracks and loose closing of the doors will gradually lead to damage to the contents of the cabinet;
• cracks, chips and other violations of the protective layer will sooner or later become a refuge for fungi, bacteria and affect the appearance of the product;
• the cabinet cover should not lose its color over time and deform from temperature changes;
• bathroom furniture requires frequent maintenance, so it must be resistant to household chemicals.

Choosing a wardrobe without a mirror for a small room seems like a simple matter. But this is not so, it makes it difficult to choose a variety of products on the furniture market. Cabinets can be classified by purpose, location, materials from which they are made. By location, products are divided into suspended (wall), floor, corner, built-in, modular.

There are sometimes leaks in the bathroom, they can destroy furniture on the floor, especially if it is made of chipboard. Wall cabinets are insured against such accidents. In addition, suspended furniture is indispensable in small rooms where the floors are occupied by a bath or shower, washing machine and laundry basket, only the walls that are safely occupied by suspended structures remain free.

• The bathroom is equipped with different types of wall cabinets: horizontal with three doors and vertical in the form of pencil cases. The cabinet under the sink maintains the harmony of the room and forms a single unit with it. White furniture, straight and clear forms, is a striking example of classic style.

• The two-tone set of wall furniture is represented by a spacious wall cabinet and smaller items located above and below the sink.

• A horizontal hinged structure with a minimum depth for storing small items. Such a model only protrudes slightly from the wall and does not take up much space. It is also good because everything you need is literally at hand.

These types of structures are located directly on the floor. To accommodate them, the room must have certain dimensions. Floor furniture is installed on legs, casters or plinths. In the latter case, no gap is visible between the bottom and the floor, and it looks as if it is placed directly on the floor. This option is not very good for wet rooms, but it is nevertheless used.

One-sided execution of tall panels and furniture in the bathroom beautifully builds the interior in a shabby chic style.
