Trends in bathroom cabinet design
Al Del Gallo, a cabinet maker from Breakwater Kitchens in Breakwater, Victoria, gives expert advice on designing bathroom cabinets to follow the latest trends.
Q. What's involved in the bathroom cabinet design process?
A. Firstly measure the space and check the size of the other fittings, such as the shower base. The design of the cabinet is really important, because you want it to help make the area work more efficiently.
Q. What are the new design trends in bathroom cabinets and vanities?
A. Simple, clean lines, contrasting colours and quality fittings.
Q. What are popular finishes for bathroom cabinetry at the moment?
A. Engineered timber finishes are popular, as is reconstituted stone, which is a man-made stone consisting of granite and quartz.
Q. What are the advantages of having bathroom cabinetry custom made?
A. Custom bathroom cabinet designs are always a more personalised option because they have been made specifically to meet your needs in terms of functionality and space. You also have the benefit of longer-lasting, quality finishes.
Q. How can custom-made cabinetry maximise space in the bathroom?
A. Custom-made cabinetry enables a client to have some real input into the cabinet design, guiding the designer in what they want and need in terms of bathroom storage. Using computer imagery is a great way to show the client a 3D image of what the cabinet will look like once finished.
Q. What's the most common mistake made by people with cabinetry in the bathroom?
A. I find that not enough thought is put into the initial bathroom cabinet design. People who go for the ready-made solution don't realise that this is often only a temporary fix. Chances are you'll have to fork out cash again because you find that the quicker option hasn't met your storage needs in the long term.
