Choosing the best bathroom cabinets for your Perth home

U dergoi g a t pe of ho e re ovatio progra a e ver e iti g, ut let’s e ho est, choosing the vanity / bathroom cabinets in your Perth home is probably not going to be the

most glamorous decision you have to make.

There are just a few things you need to think about however when it does come to picking

out the perfect cabinet for your bathroom.

1 – Space – the size of your cabinet will ultimately depend upon the space available in your

bathroom, but also the amount of storage you will realistically need. The bathroom cabinet

should be large enough to accommodate everything needed yet not be so large that it

crowds a smaller bathroom.

2 – Access and Positioning – it is important that any cabinets are positioned so as not to

hamper the natural flow of the room. An open cabinet must not block the door into the

bathroom itself or indeed the swing of the shower door. You must also have plenty of room

not only to open the doors but also to position yourself to see what is inside the cabinet.

You must also take into account the positioning of the plumbing in your bathroom and

whether the cabinet will fit in with what is there... or indeed whether you are willing to have

the pipes re-plumbed.

3 – Materials – bathrooms are wet, humid and busy places so you must choose a cabinet

which is made of materials which can cope with these conditions. The most popular choices

are wood veneers, thermofoil and laminates. If you opt for a wooden bathroom cabinet

make sure that the wood has been treated properly before it is installed in your home.

4 – Height – the height of your vanity cabinet depends largely upon the height of the people

who will be using it most regularly. Although there are general, regular heights which are

fine for the average household it can be extremely frustrating for unusually short or tall

people to cope with.

Other ways to perform facelift on your home is to replace all or some of the doors and

windows on your Perth property. Again there are many different types, styles and sizes

available to suit everything from the most modern newer homes to traditional homes which

need to be kept in tune with their original styling. Replacing the doors or windows in just a

select number of rooms can make a big difference if you do not want to re-fit the entire

property.
