Bathroom tower cabinets are bathroom storage solutions designed to keep linens, towels, and toiletry items organized. As its name suggests, a bathroom tower cabinet is a tower which means it's tall and narrow. It stands anywhere between 4 to 8 ft in height. Mostly only 1-2 ft wide, tower cabinets for bathrooms make for great storage options in small bathrooms. They also take less footprint compared to vanity cabinets.
You have two main options in terms of material: hardwood and composite. Each has its own style, but composite allows for a more modern, refined form. The tower cabinets made of composite often come with cheaper price tags, but their quality is compromised.
- Solid Wood - There are different types of solid wood such as eucalyptus, bamboo, mahogany, and teak among others. They are easy to maintain and they are highly recommended as they fare well in most environments as they're rot-proof. If you opt of an exotic wood for your bathroom tower cabinet, make sure you apply oil and varnish for wood protection. If you want a type of wood that's been sustainably farmed, choose timber.
- Composite Materials - Composite comes in several different forms, too. The most common are melamine and medium density fiberboard. Melamine based tower cabinets for bathrooms are inexpensive and readily available. They're lacquered with modern paint and finished to ensure they make for stunning bathroom additions. They're also easy to clean but their edges can swell when exposed to moisture around the clock. As for medium density fiberboard, it's stronger compared to melamine, so it's more expensive. The material often comes painted and finished.
Most people store toiletries, towels, and several toilet rolls on the cabinet. They're the basics, but you may also need storage for cleaning products and laundry. Determine what your storage needs are before you go shopping. And be realistic in your assessment regarding the cabinet size your bathroom can accommodate.
Without a doubt, your cabinet's style will go a long way when it comes to the appeal and ambiance of your bathroom. A tower cabinet with clean, crisp lines will work best in a bathroom with a modern aesthetic, most especially if the unit has open shelving that can be used in featuring spare towels and decorative storage baskets. For minimalist bathrooms, consider handle-less designs with "soft close" doors and drawers.
The on-trend bathroom tower cabinets are glossy ones which bounce light around dark bathrooms. They create a smart minimalist style, most especially when they're coupled with white fittings and fixtures against walls that are painted white. Glossy black cabinets, on the other hand, introduce glamour into bathrooms. They're best accessorized with purple and metallic hardware. As for gloss grey, it is a trendy color which provides contrast to white bathroom fittings.
When it comes to bathroom furniture, there are no hard and fast rules you need to abide. Choose the style, material, and dimensions that you feel work best within the space that you have. After all, you are the one who's going to use and see it daily.
