6 Bathroom Cabinet Ideas for Your Home

Your bathroom should be a space of tranquility and serenity. Of course, if you live in a home full of kids and pets, it might seem difficult to find a way to achieve that. However, sometimes tranquility and serenity come in the form of organization. Having storage solutions in a bathroom that’s located in a busy household really goes a long way in making a space feel relaxing. A bathroom cabinet is perfect for that! Here are some of our favorite bathroom cabinet ideas for your home. 

Why You Should Have Cabinets in Your Bathroom 

Some homes don’t have cabinets in their bathrooms. In fact, many vintage homes utilize a medicine cabinet instead of a cabinet attached to the sink. Instead, you see the plumbing of the sink. Homes of that era used vanities in bedrooms instead, typically due to the idea that bathrooms aren’t very clean, so you should do your hair and makeup in the bedroom where it’s much more hygienic. As time went on and we learned more about hygiene and cleanliness, more and more bathrooms started to feature cabinets and built-in vanities for efficiency.

For homeowners who own older homes, they might notice their bathrooms don’t feature cabinets with their sinks. A cabinet in your bathroom allows you to hide away some of the bathroom-related items you don’t want people to see, such as toilet paper rolls, cleaning supplies and even replacement bottles of shampoo, body wash and medicines. With so many configuration options, bathroom cabinets are a great storage solution for any home.

Installing Bathroom Cabinets

Bathroom cabinets are actually easy to install! You simply have to ensure that they’re cut to fit your sink and plumbing. Whether you order RTA cabinets or order cabinets that are fully assembled, it’s important to have the proper measurements prior to ordering your cabinets. If you’re replacing cabinets in your bathroom, simply use the same measurements that you used for the original cabinets. If you aren’t sure what the measurements are, or you’re shifting around the layout of your bathroom, you’ll want to measure the width of the sink where you’d like the sink bowl to sit in relation to the faucet, and where the plumbing comes out of the wall. We proudly offer design consultations with our expert designers so when you order cabinets with us, we can walk you through measuring your space to ensure you order the correct cabinets.

Bathroom Cabinet Design Ideas

Because bathroom cabinets come in so many options, you might find it difficult to narrow down your design ideas. Here are some tips to help you out!

• Farmhouse bathroom: A farmhouse bathroom is bright, clean and open. Featuring white cabinets, iron hardware and wooden accents, a farmhouse bathroom cabinet will look traditional but also clean and modern. Some farmhouse bathrooms feature a smaller sink version of the classic farmhouse sink, while others feature sink bowls that sit on top of the cabinets. 

• Vintage bathroom: While you might think a vintage bathroom shouldn’t have any cabinets at all, you can still make the space feel vintage with cabinets. Use molding, ivory cabinets and a dark countertop to make the cabinets feel vintage. Iron or glass knobs will complete the look! Go even further with the rest of your bathroom design by adding sconces on either side of the bathroom mirror, or go classic with a medicine cabinet.
• Scandinavian bathroom: A Scandinavian bathroom is one that prioritizes minimalism and efficiency. Featuring clean lines and simple decor, you’ll find that the cabinets in this bathroom style will blend in with the rest of the space. You might find subway tile on the walls or in the shower, and the color combination is usually black and white. Wooden accents will be featured heavily here, too, along with natural greenery. 

Organizing Your Bathroom Cabinets

Bathroom cabinets are there to make your space more organized. Here are some ways you can organize your bathroom cabinets!

• Acrylic organizers: Acrylic organizers are tough, and they let you see clearly the items that are in them. Use them for cotton balls, Q-tips, makeup and anything else that you want organized in your cabinets. 
• Mason jars: Mason jars are a versatile item. Whether you use them for canning jam or for storing items in your bathroom, they are durable and look great in any space. Place them on your bathroom counter to hold some of your needs. 
• Command hooks: Use Command hooks on the inside of your bathroom cabinet doors to hold styling tools, plastic grocery bags or anything else you use in your bathroom that you’d like to hang.
