The experts at Santoro Home Improvements in Hamden, CT, are passionate about providing advice and guidance on these topics. Below, these general contractors outline everything you need to know about choosing cabinetry that will please your aesthetic and serve your family’s storage needs. 

Elements to Consider When Selecting Bathroom Cabinets

Practicality

Though you might want to choose a material or cabinet design solely based on appearance, it’s important to remain practical. Think about who will be using the room and their needs. For example, siblings who share a bathroom may benefit from a double sink, which would allow them to get ready for school at the same time. Also consider whether you will need a lot of counter space or extra storage for products, cosmetics, and hair appliances. 

Dimensions

Next, consider any obstacles that may put constraints on your design. A door that swings inwards, for instance, would prevent you from placing a vanity too close to it. Also think spatially about where cabinets will be in relation to the toilet and shower. This will dictate what size or features will fit into your bathroom design. 

Sink Style

Finally, the style of the sink will play a significant role in choosing your cabinets. If you opt for a pedestal sink, you’ll need to use space higher up on the wall for storage cabinets. If you use a vessel or under mount sink, its size will dictate how much counter space you’ll have and may affect the height of under-sink cabinet storage. Finally, the sink design and composition may influence the color and material of the cabinets. For example, if you choose a contemporary-style stone vessel sink, it may look mismatched with shiplap or beadboard cabinets.
