Bathroom furniture

The bathroom does not only consist of sanitaryware, but also and above all of wall coverings, bathroom furniture, and accessories. These items must be chosen carefully, as they must meet the requirements of beauty and functionality, because the bathroom is also and especially a place to relax, and bathroom furnishings are therefore fundamental. 

In addition to sanitaryware, the essential bathroom furniture elements are:

• bathroom furniture – inspired by classic or modern bathroom furniture
• mirrors – which can be integrated into the unit or wall-mounted
• bathroom accessories – such as towel racks, wall-mounted or freestanding, toilet roll holders, toilet brush holders, storage units, and coat hooks

Complete bathroom furnishing is composed of:

• washbasin vanity units – the sink is integrated into this unit. Usually, these are closed units with doors, or with glass doors. The doors are very useful for storing detergents, towels, or cosmetics
• tall units – the most requested models are half-closed with doors and half-open. Tall units are used to store spare towels 
• wall units – are usually positioned above the sink when the mirror is integrated into the bathroom unit. They are instead moved toward one side when there is no mirror
• shelves for placing objects
• bathroom stools 
• laundry baskets– where to store dirty clothes

Harmoniously furnishing the bathroom means choosing not only the furniture but also selecting all the accessories that can make it useful and functional.

Another fundamental aspect is lighting. If the ceiling is more than 3 meters high and the surface area is less than 20 square meters, the pendant light must hang by at least 80 cm. In the case of standard ceilings, i.e., more than 3 meters high, the ideal drop is 50 cm.

It is advisable to place wall lights on the sides of the bathroom mirror, which radiate direct light and are useful for meticulous shaving and applying makeup.
