Types cabinets

Hanging pedestals

Perfect for those cases where you want to save space (and therefore almost all of the "old"apartments).This design frees floor space and will provide a comfortable and fast cleaning.

interesting solution, which can be combined with many modern styles - high-tech, minimalism, eco-design, etc.Make such a stand, you will be able to create a comfortable and practical interior.

Outdoor tables

One of the most common options.Outdoor cabinets for bathroom perform multiple tasks simultaneously: hide unsightly communication are top and receptacle for the conch, store a lot of necessary things.

Very often used for outdoor tables, ergonomic installation bulky washing machines.However, for a small bathroom that option will not work, or the dimensions of the tables will match the size of the room and allow only hide counters, pipes, but put inside the minimum necessary things.

Corner cabinets

Corner stone for bathroom became a real salvation for many owners, "Khrushchev" and "brezhnevok".Ideal for space saving - wall (suspended) Corner tables.So you free up space on the floor where it is possible to put, for example, the laundry basket.

But in a corner locker will not hide communication or mount sink, unless, of course, does not change the default layout of the room and not move all the corner.But in this locker without appreciable damage to the space, you can put anything you want, from the spare toilet paper, ending with a hairdryer and amenities.

Preparation

Before going to the store for building materials and begin to create tables, you must deal with a number of issues.If you want your handmade furniture has served you long and delivered only the pleasure of use, consider all the details.And it would be nice to start with an understanding of what you really need - a functional spacious locker under the sink for household chemicals and other inalienable attributes bathrooms or ornamental decoration of the room.Or maybe you just need to hide unsightly pipes under the sink?

Before creating a circuit drawing-stone for the bathroom decide the following issues:

1. harmonious blend with the overall design of the room.If your bathroom is made in the light blue colors, there are smooth curves and a "soft" design, the bright orange angular cabinet will be completely out of place, even if you really like this color.Here is another example: bathroom done in a lush "rich" style - tiles with gold ornaments, luxurious carved handles and hangers, a large mirror in a heavy frame ... Bedside table in the style of hi-tech or minimalism in the interior will be "black sheep".
2. The right choice of materials and accessories.Learn more about the materials that are suitable for building stone for the tank will be discussed below.We note only that the hardware you need to choose from chromed metal.Legs, knobs, hooks are often exposed to stress and are in contact with moisture, so if you do not want to change the plastic gilded "luxury" every six months, be sure about the quality from the very beginning.
3. Competent plan bathroom.Here we have in mind not only the placement of furniture, but also the technical aspects.For example, if you have a heated floor, it is not recommended to build a bedside table with base - fit the most simple stand on legs.

functionality of the furniture is entirely determined by your needs and preferences.If the bathroom area allows you to "roam", it is not necessary to make a small cabinet with lots of shelves and drawers.But, again, it's a matter of taste.Let's face it - the territory of the former Soviet Union are not so many apartments with spacious bathrooms, so the question is more relevant space saving.Corner cabinet for the bathroom perfectly fits into modest quadrature even in a joint bathroom.

When choosing the design of future tables should not forget about their own feelings, in fact you will have to use his creation every day.

choice of materials

Properly selected materials for the construction of something is the key to longevity and reliability.If you have no idea of ​​what you can build furniture for the bathroom, look for similar products in the shops.Here is where you can find a starting point for inspiration and ingenious design solutions!

Plates MDF

In most cases, cabinets for bathroom (and countertops for kitchens, too) are built of MDF, as this material is perfectly withstand constant contact with moisture and has an enviable longevity.

MDF are highly compressed wood fibers.The presence of a special adhesive protects against moisture and extraordinary strength.With all this material is easy to process even at home.

Tree

Wooden tables are not as popular as the MDF as a natural high-quality material is several times more expensive.Properly treated wood will last as long as the timber with synthetic additives.It is not afraid of moisture and creates an atmosphere in the room comfort and convenience.

Plastic

modern analogue of natural building materials, which is suitable for those who want to save a considerable amount.However, we should not expect that the plastic cabinet will look just as luxurious and solidly as wood, even with a very successful finish.

material is not afraid of water and can last for decades.If during the construction of the furniture you are making an emphasis on practicality, the plastic - your material.If you want to get in the end a really nice cute bedside table, it makes sense to look for an alternative, for example, particle board.

Glass

glass cabinet for the bathroom can become the subject of this pride of its owner.Make this little thing is very difficult, but nevertheless real.It is clear that out of the ordinary window glass cabinet will not do - you need a thick and durable glass, capable of withstanding the load from the sink, shelves and things standing inside.There is such material is expensive, and work with it is very difficult at home.If you set categorically and only want a glass cabinet, it is better not to take your head and buy it in the store.

Combined options

Why limit yourself to one thing, if it is possible to combine the most successful quality materials and turn them into a real masterpiece?So, you can make the side walls of an inexpensive timber, put on top of MDF and doors are made of glass.And if in your heart yearns untapped artistic potential, can make a painting on wood, stained glass or mosaic!

Selecting location

place to install the cabinets also plays a role.From location depends not only on ease of use, but the durability of stone and your safety.So, if you put it, say, right beside the tub, then you will constantly strike the region, and the steam and spray material will soon become worthless.

ideal location - under the sink.But what if the place quite a bit, and you need to get a bedside table was the most capacious?In this case, it is worth considering about any redevelopment and transfer of the communication to a different location, or on the bedside table without sink (hanging in the corner, and so on).

If you only plan to sum communication (building a house), you have a great opportunity to become the master of the perfect bathroom, where everything is left to chance!

selecting the right place for the tables:

1. Pick place in accordance with the size of tables (and vice versa).To make this calculation and the layout of the room and see if you will be comfortable.Be sure to "play" in the imagination of at least two variants with different positions or different tables design.
2. If the cabinet will be built under the sink, then inside the pipe will be placed.Think about this time that the pipes do not interfere to set the desired number of shelves, and you will easily be able to get close to the water meter or the tap.
3. If the bathroom ventilation is poor, and there is no way to fix it, do not do tables on short legs, or "deaf" interior options.So you simplify your subsequent cleaning and reduce the risk of moisture places of stagnation.
4. If installed in the bathroom floor heating is also not recommended to put a stone floor.In this case, the ideal option would be a hinged design.

4. Now you can do the very top.To make a hole under the sink in the MDF, it is necessary to move the shell size 1: 1 on paper, cut out on a circle to circle and obtained by "the pattern" area on the plate.But often when you install wizard prefer not to make any unnecessary movements, but simply turn over the sink upside down, put it on the stove, encircle and cut jigsaw.Decide for yourself which option is more convenient for you.If the shell is heavy, you can make a countertop out of 2 plates.
   
5. Install on countertop cabinet and screw it inside corner mounts.The gap between the stove and sink fill with silicone or any other sealant.Connect communications.
   
6. This phase will especially enjoy the creative types, so if you have kids, you can safely priluchat them to work!Obkleyte countertop and wall cabinets with mosaic tiles.
