What you need to do before you make a scheme-drawing cabinets for the bathroom:
- Think of a combination with the interior of the room - for example, for placing in light blue tones with smooth curves and “soft” design, angular bright orange furniture is not suitable, let you like this color. Therefore, you should not turn the bedside table into a “spot” on the common interior.

Choosing a material
Properly selected building materials will be the first step to a durable and reliable construction. Not sure what to choose? Analyze similar bathroom products in stores.

Wood
Wooden cabinets are not as popular as, for example, MDF, since the price of natural quality material is many times more expensive. If the wood is properly processed, it can last for quite a long time. The material is resistant to moisture and allows you to create an atmosphere of comfort and coziness in the room.
MDF plates
The most commonly used material for the manufacture of bedside tables in the bathroom or the kitchen. It withstands constant exposure to moisture and serves for quite some time.
MDF plate - compressed under high pressure wood fibers. The special binder added to the structure provides strength and protection from moisture. Material while the material can be easily processed at home.
Plastic
Analogue to natural building materials, suitable for those who decided to save a significant amount. But such products will not have the same luxurious and solid look as wood, despite the very successful finish.
Plastic is resistant to moisture and can last for a long time. Choose it if you decide to focus on practicality. Otherwise, he should find an alternative.
Glass
Such a cabinet in the bathroom will most likely become your pride. Although it is not easy to make it, but still possible. You need a strong and thick glass that can withstand the load of the sink, things and shelves inside.

Combined version
You can not limit your idea to only one material, why not combine several of them? For example, to make the side walls of cheap products, install MDF plate on top, completing the design with glass doors.
You can also make stained glass, painting on wood or mosaic. Look for options.
