Bathroom sets: features of the choice of furniture
Today, many people prefer to purchase ready-made bathroom sets, because this way you can make the design of the room more functional, aesthetic and harmonious. Choosing the right kit should be taken as seriously as possible. It is necessary to take into account the features of the furniture you like and understand what is better to buy in a particular case. It is about how to do this that will be discussed in this article.
Requirements
The time when pieces of furniture were unaesthetic and uncomfortable (and it was in the order of things) is long gone. A bathroom is a room where people take water procedures, enjoy relaxation, and rest after a busy day at work. If you want to feel as comfortable as possible, a shelf with a sink and a small cabinet will not be enough in such a room.
The ideal option would be a complete set of furniture, which includes various important details.
When choosing a furniture set for a bathroom, you need to focus on certain qualities of products:
- the longest possible period of use and at the same time the absence of deformations;
- practicality, high strength;
- increased resistance to temperature extremes;
- resistance to high humidity;
- not susceptible to mold.
Buying the first set that comes across is an option that should be excluded right away. Each piece of furniture should fit perfectly into the overall design of the bathroom.
It is also recommended to decide in advance on which material is better to choose.
- Plastic products it is quite possible to use in the bathroom, because they are suitable for the aggressive conditions typical of such rooms. However, you should not allow the direct rays of the sun to fall on such surfaces, otherwise the products may deform and burn out.
- Wooden furniturecoated with a high-quality protective coating can last for a long time. Since wood is a natural material, the atmosphere in the bathroom will be associated with warmth and comfort.
- Chipboard, MDF products should not be installed near direct sources of liquid. They have components that protect against moisture, but such surfaces can still delaminate from water.
- Metal furniture - an option that can be called ideal. If a metal surface is coated with a suitable coating, it will last a very long time. It is also worth noting that metal products are quite easy to care for.
Colors
Designers always pay a lot of attention to the color design of the premises. If it comes to a room where a person relaxes, rests, suitable shades are one of the main components of comfort. The bathroom is just such a place: here people experience a state of tranquility, peace, and also receive a charge of freshness and vigor.
Modern manufacturers offer a variety of design options for such premises. Of course, this is pretty much a matter of preference, but you should also listen to the recommendations of experts.
- If the bathroom is large enough, but there are no windows, you should not experiment with dark colors. If you prefer rich colors and want to decorate the room that way, provide sufficient lighting.
However, the main advantage of a large bathroom is that it can accommodate quite a few pieces of furniture.
- Warm colors work well for medium-sized rooms. You should also think about how best to arrange the furniture: there should be no chaos. In order not to overload the room, it is better to refuse those products that are not necessary.
- More recently, choosing furniture for small bathrooms was very difficult, but today you can choose the perfect set for such a room, where everything is thought out to the smallest detail.
For small bathrooms, narrow shelves, hanging cabinets are well suited. Such pieces of furniture can effectively save space.
If we talk about suitable shades, it is worth noting that disunity in colors should not be allowed. You can choose one bright accent, a maximum of two. The room should be well lit.
If the finish is rather bright, it is better to opt for furniture in soothing shades. This design will look very harmonious: beautiful, but not flashy.
Equipment
Furniture items in the room should be in harmony with each other in shapes and shades. If you purchase products of unusual shapes, differing in size and color, such a design after a while will start to "cut the eye". Furniture should complement each other, create an overall picture. If you choose the right set, even the smallest bathroom becomes very functional.
For rooms with non-standard sizes, it is better to order the necessary furniture. This option will be more costly, but you will save time and hassle that you could spend trying to find the most suitable products.
In the event that you have difficulty choosing a suitable set of bathroom furniture, you can try to combine it yourself. Such kits can be cheaper (when compared to ready-made kits).
An example of a relatively inexpensive set that you can easily pick up on your own is a plastic table, a wooden hanging cabinet, a semi-open steel rack, an MDF cabinet with a sink.
Combinations
Typically, bathroom kits include the following:
- floor pencil case and shelves;
- wall mirror;
- wash basin;
- hanging cabinet;
- a cabinet for a sink (the optimal height of such a piece of furniture is about 85 cm).
If desired, ready-made sets can be supplemented with mirrored doors and open shelves. Mounting methods can also be different.
Lovers of minimalism can limit themselves to a cabinet, a small sink and a closet. This option is suitable for a bathroom that does not differ in significant dimensions.
For a large room, you can purchase quite a few items, for example:
- boxes for various things;
- dressing table;
- couch;
- mirrors;
- armchairs;
- floor cabinets.
How to choose?
When choosing suitable items, one must take into account not only the aesthetics of the appearance of the products, but also their quality.
It is recommended to pay attention to the following points:
- if there are skirting boards on the floor, the backs of the cabinets should be cut along the bottom;
- chrome-plated metal - a material that is very well suited for fittings, such products are resistant to liquid;
- the furniture should not have any defects: paint drips, peeling coatings, scratches, cracks, chips;
- it is better to choose such cabinets and cabinets that have legs - this will make it easier to clean, and besides, for ventilation it is necessary that the air flow moves freely;
- Before buying, check the quality of the plumbing (for example, a shower set).
It is best not to push the floor furniture too hard against the wall panels. When the steam cools, condensation forms, which can damage the back walls. In this case, the service life of the products will be short (even if they are of very high quality).
There are not very many recommendations, but it is still worth considering them. Truly durable furniture can only be obtained if the quality of each element is taken into account.It is better to choose products from well-known manufacturers who have won the trust of consumers. In this case, you are unlikely to end up dissatisfied with the quality of the products.
