With such a constrain on space and the supposedly never ending line of toilet essentials that you have stocked up in the garage and the boot of your minivan the fact that your existing waist high bathroom vanity isn’t doing much for you in the way of adding value to your home or storage space to your bathroom. Enter the built in bathroom cabinet, the one stop cure for all your bathroom storage problems and the best part about it? Just like your (half) vanity, you can get one of these cabinets done up in a way that matches your home’s existing interior décor.
Before you start worrying about losing your vanity or the two under sink drawers that you find extremely useful, let me tell you, built in cabinets can easily encompass and incorporate those and more. Everything from hutchlike drawers to towering cupboards that have enough space to hold all the soap and towels that your family would need in a lifetime are part and parcel of the cabinetry that is available on sale. With the kind of pressures that the real estate markets in popular cities like New York and San Fransisco are facing, it is only logical to assume that the price of homes will only move North regardless of the state of the economy.
There is a reason that custom built cabinets and bathrooms are a match made in heaven — many bathrooms are comprised of irregular spaces and nothing does as good a job of utilizing irregular spaces like custom cabinetry. If you choose to go down the custom route, (and I suggest you at the least look into it) think about your needs and the storage expectations that you would demand of an ideal bathroom — one that had no budget or space restrictions. Once that is done, talk to your carpenter or the company that specializes in built in cabinets about all the ideas that you have on that list. After all, you are paying to get all of the carpentry and cabinetry sorted and it only is fair to both parties that you make an effort to get what you want.
Buying Tip
You can also have the built in cabinet extend to the floor so that you don’t have to stoop to clean all the water from under there all the time. This allows you to run the bathroom in as much a maintenance free fashion as possible.
