Cupboard under the sink in the bathroom - common models

Unfortunately, most of the bathrooms in the houses of the old building can not boast a large square. Therefore, the owners of such apartments are forced to somehow adapt. An excellent solution to the arrangement of the interior is a bedside table under the sink in the bathroom.

It has a number of indisputable advantages, besides the simplest models of pedestals under the sink can be easily assembled with your own hands.

What good is such furniture

• The brightest advantage is the ability to intelligently use the space under the bowl.
• Siphon and piping, no matter how carefully they were made, are not the most attractive and often spoil the overall picture. Mounting the box under the bowl, all this can be successfully hidden.
• In fact, the owners get an extra locker. If initially you are not too lazy and equip the box with various kinds of shelves and drawers, then the whole space can be used 100%, using it for washing, cleaning and other bathroom products.

• All serial versions of such furniture are assembled from moisture-proof panels, so even in a small bathroom, where inevitably more humid, such a cabinet will serve for many years.
• Designers have long noticed the usefulness of this piece of furniture and use it successfully. In addition to the standard, low-end models, are made of genuine masterpieces of furniture art, which are able to decorate any room.

Tip: many people deliberately refuse such a box, considering that they have too small a room. This should not be done, because there is a cupboard under the sink in the bathroom 50 cm wide, which is guaranteed to fit anywhere.

Common types of similar furniture

Currently, all furniture of this kind is conventionally divided into 3 broad areas:

• hanging boxes;
• leg cabinets;
• cabinets with plinth.

Suspended option

Whatever the size of your room, any hanging furniture tends to visually expand the room, this is especially important for owners of tiny bathrooms. Due to the absence of traditional support, it seems like floating objects.

Happy owners of rooms with large quadrature also often prefer this option. Because with its help it is easy to beat the most unusual design ideas.

From a purely practical point of view, it is also very convenient.

• To begin with, the lack of support allows you to easily remove the space under a canopy, because the corners and hard-to-reach places on the floor often become a breeding ground for the fungus.
• As is well known in the bathroom, air circulation is especially important and from this point of view the hanging box is almost perfect.
• No puddles or casual "floods" of such furniture are not terrible, plus the drawers are in the accessible zone, you do not need to bend over much in order to find the necessary thing.

Important: in the houses of the old layout, on the floor in the bathroom often go all sorts of communication boxes, which clearly interfere with the arrangement of furniture. Suspended option for such places fits perfectly.

Only one significant minus is here. It is always more difficult to mount suspended structures. First, for this you need a capital wall, drywall is not suitable here.

And secondly, not every hanging box can withstand a massive sink, so hanging cabinets for a sink in a bathroom without a sink are often used. More precisely, both constructions are mounted separately.

Nightstand with legs

This option is deservedly considered a classic, it all started with such structures. Many love him for his versatility. Now there are no problems in order to bring the plumbing and plumbing with soft hoses, so such constructions get relative mobility; if necessary, they can be slightly shifted in the right direction.

Modern interiors are often made with the help of false panels made of plasterboard, they are undeniably beautiful, but they cannot be used as a bearing base. The box on the legs, in essence, is a regular nightstand and rests solely on the floor. The sizes of a curbstone under a sink in a bathroom, at the same time can be any.

This option is perfect if you decide to equip, now popular, underfloor heating. The fact is that the floors should not be heavily cluttered in order not to impede the circulation of warm streams. The legs with the best fit.

Tip: instructions for self-installation of the legs is extremely simple, just screw a few screws. But you should pay attention to the presence of silicone pads in the points of contact with the floor, so you protect your tile from cracks.

Box with base

The curbstone with a socle is in its essence a kind of leg-type constructions. Only the function of the legs here perform support strips.

This option is undoubtedly more stable, because the area of ​​its contact is much wider. But this is its drawback. After all, a large area of ​​contact causes intimate contact with the floor, which is often wet in the bathroom.

Adherents of furniture with a base rightly point out that visually this stand is a complete part of the interior. Intimate contact with the floor, the cabinet looks like a monolithic product that does not require additions.

Those who prefer such an option can only be advised to pay close attention to the material from which the base itself is made. Such materials as laminated chipboard and MDF, in this case, will not last long, even if they are “three times” waterproof.

Now models with a removable base are being produced, plus there are plastic and metal versions of the base, for which no humidity is terrible.

Furniture configuration

• In this respect, the traditional bathroom cabinet under the sink in the bathroom has also undergone significant changes.. Naturally, if you are an adherent of a linear direction, then rectangular or square shapes are for you.

• Modern movements prefer broken or curved shapes. They look undoubtedly original, but rather heavy in production and installation, hence the high price of such furniture.
• The angular arrangement of the pedestal is deservedly considered a universal modern solution.. It is suitable for both small and large bathrooms. Plus, to assemble and install such furniture is just as easy as traditional rectangular.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I want to give a little advice, if you choose such furniture from the catalog, think several times whether it is suitable specifically for your bathroom, because what looks good in the picture will not necessarily look worthy in the interior. Perhaps it makes sense to order a 3D drawing.
